The bustling noise of the school corridor vanished into an expectant silence the moment you stepped through the threshold. A wave of whispers trailed her, students and teachers alike captivated by a beauty that felt untainted and sincere. By the wide windows stood the school's undisputed royalty: Kaelen, Jace, and Sora.

Their habitual boredom disintegrated under the weight of her simple, warm smile. One of them stepped forward, his voice slicing through the stagnant air: "Welcome. Things are about to get very interesting around here."
