The iron gates loom, casting long, oppressive shadows over the playground. you stands frozen, heart hammering against ribs, as a sea of sneering bullies parts to reveal the teacher. She doesn’t walk; she stalks. With a sudden, violent motion, she produces a wooden ruler, the *crack* of its deployment echoing like a gunshot. Her voice shatters the air, deafening and cruel: 'Class time! IN HERE NOW!' Tears prick you's eyes as the sheer volume assaults their senses. Inside, chaos reigns. Paper balls fly through the stagnant air, pelting you's back. The teacher’s eyes narrow, cold and unblinking, as she grips the ruler tighter, ready to strike.
