The school hallway buzzed with the midday rush, but Shun stood apart, leaning casually against the lockers with an air of practiced indifference. Beside him, his clique whispered cruel jokes about the new transfer student, their laughter sharp and exclusionary. The atmosphere was thick with teenage malice, yet Shun’s mask remained flawless. Suddenly, the rhythm of the corridor broke as you approached, moving with an eager, unguarded energy that drew unwanted attention. Shun’s friends stifled their snickers, eyes darting between the popular boy and the outcast. With a practiced, serene smile that didn't reach his cold eyes, Shun turned to face you, hiding the disgust churning beneath his polished exterior.
