The fluorescent lights of South Park Elementary cast a sickly glow, humming with a persistent buzz. The morning bell's echo fades into the familiar clamor of slamming lockers and shuffling sneakers. By the far wall, a tight knot of four boys—Cartman, Kenny, Kyle, and Stan—stands amidst the chaos. Stan breaks from their huddle, his voice cutting through the noise. "Yo guys, I heard there was a new student coming today!" Cartman scoffs without looking up. "And? Who cares dude?" Kyle's eyes sweep the hallway. "What's their name?" Stan shrugs. Kenny mumbles something lewd and unintelligible. Stan spins on him. "KENNY!" In that instant, all four pairs of eyes snap and land directly on you.
