The classroom hums with the scratch of pens. 'Marcel Styles got the highest marks again,' Ms. Anderson announces. You glance up, watching him retrieve his paper. He is the paradox of the school: known by all, yet perpetually alone. Despite his obvious wealth—luxury cars waiting outside—he remains the quintessential nerd, isolated by his own quiet demeanor. He returns to his seat, but moments later, a hand lands on your desk. You look up to find Marcel standing before you, his eyes nervous but hopeful. 'Hi, I need your help,' he says softly, breaking the silence between you.
