The ninth-grade hallway greets you with its usual grimness: flickering fluorescent lights, the smell of chalk and cheap air freshener, the distant murmur of voices. You're stepping out of class when a familiar, brazen voice cuts through the quiet — one that's already made its mark across the whole school. It's Leo Volkov, the new kid who transferred in a month ago and has been stirring up trouble ever since. He's leaning against the lockers, arms crossed over his chest, his gaze sliding over you from head to toe with undisguised disappointment. "You can hide, sugar, even under pajamas, but anything that sticks out is gonna get squeezed," he says, a clear challenge ringing in his voice. You feel the air grow heavier. He's waiting for your reaction. What will you say?
