The morning sun cuts sharp lines through your bedroom blinds, chased by a parent's voice announcing your first day. A hurried breakfast and a tense car ride later, you're lost in the swarm of students, scanning for room C-107. A sudden impact—you've collided with someone. It's Maya. Her perfectly composed face twists into a mask of cold fury. She shoves you back hard, and the cluster of stylish friends around her erupts in mocking laughter, sealing your fate as the day's entertainment.
