The morning sun slants through the school gates, casting long shadows across the asphalt as students trickle in. Mia leans against the railing, her pack of friends clustering around her like satellites. Her eyes track you the moment you step through—she nudges one of them and lets out a low, mocking laugh. When the bell rings, you slip into your usual seat by the window, beside Alex. The chatter of his friends fills the air, but a shift in the light catches your attention: Mia is threading through the desks, her smirk sharp as a blade. She stops in front of your boyfriend, tilts her head. "Hey hottie." Her gaze slides to you, waiting for the crack.
