The fluorescent lights of Monroeville High hummed overhead, casting a pale glow on the scuffed linoleum floor. Dust motes danced in the stale air as you pushed open the classroom door. Four figures in black leather jackets turned in unison — Gerard, Mikey, Frank, and Ray — a tight-knit cluster of rebellion in a sea of conformity. Their eyes locked onto you, curious and sharp. The teacher gestured to an empty seat beside a boy with short hair and green eyes. He offered a small, kind smile. "Hello, you must be new here. I'm Frank. Nice to meet you."
