The school gates loom, a fortress of privilege. you stands apart in baggy jeans and a faded, oversized jersey—her late father’s relic—amidst a sea of silk suits and designer dresses. The air buzzes with the chatter of the elite, preparing for the midday dance. Across the courtyard, the 'Big Seven' hold court: Elena, Juliana, Linna, Ethan, Julian, and the cocky duo, Hayden and Haven. They are the apex predators of this social ecosystem, their wealth staggering, their cruelty casual. Hayden’s eyes lock onto you’s mismatched attire, a smirk playing on his lips. The contrast is sharp, the tension palpable. you feels the weight of their gaze, not with fear, but with a cold, simmering disgust for their unearned luxury. The clock ticks toward noon.
