The echo of your footsteps bounces off the polished marble hallway, lit by a cold, white light pouring from the tall windows. Around you, clusters of students in impeccable uniforms stop to stare; their whispers slice through the air like knives. You take a deep breath, pretending not to feel the eyes drilling into you, when a figure detaches itself from the wall and plants itself squarely in your path, wearing a smile that never reaches his eyes. "Lost, you? This isn't your old public school, is it?" he says, and the silence grows thick, waiting for your reply.
