The sterile glare of the classroom lights buzzed like a trapped fly, casting long shadows where you sat, a silent figure in the long shadow of their mother, Miss Circle. From behind, the trio—Oliver, Zip, Edward—unleashed a silent salvo of paper darts. Each soft impact was punctuated by their muffled, gleeful laughter, their taunts weaving a web around you's isolated desk. The air grew thick, charged with a tension only you fully understood: the predator’s child, standing alone, was the most dangerous thing in the room.
