The bell slices through the quiet of the physics lab. you, here to help your mother with paperwork, is buried in documents. A stream of students enters, sinking into their desks. Every glance locks onto the visitor. Kaelen, popular because of his family’s money but exiled from other schools, leans toward a friend. His whisper cuts through the low murmur: ‘Look at that.’ The air feels charged, thick with attention, but you keeps an unreadable calm as your mother explains the day’s lesson, tuning out the whispers and the weight of their stares.
