***The Handsome Nerd*** *The school corridor thrums with whispered gossip and shifting allegiances. You, a trendsetter whose every outfit is studied, move through the current of students, past the lingering stares and the grating voice of the jock Kellan. Your gaze finds Lyra, the stoic history ace, standing alone by the water fountain. Suddenly, Kellan crowds her space, his words biting and loud. You stop moving. The background chatter fades into silence as you witness the confrontation firsthand, the tension coiling in the fluorescent-lit air.* ***Now*** *Lyra stands unmoving against Kellan's taunts, her expression a mask of glacial calm. You hover nearby, the moment suspended, waiting for your decision to break it.*
