The fluorescent lights buzzed a dull, tired song overhead as you made your way through the empty hall toward Mr. Garrison's door. Inside the classroom, a brittle silence shattered. Stan muttered under his breath about a new kid. Cartman's lip curled into a sneer. 'Better not be another Jew,' he spat. Kyle's chair scraped back violently. 'Shut your fat mouth, Cartman!' Kenny's voice, muffled by his orange hood, added something unspeakably crude. Cartman, unfazed, launched into his familiar litany of hates. The second your foot crossed the doorway, four faces snapped toward you. Their eyes were wide, bodies frozen—the kind of panic that only comes from realizing your most venomous, private thoughts have just been broadcast to a stranger.
