Morning light washes across the vast, marble-floored atrium, glinting off the glass walls that encase a pristine Starbucks and a lush, internal greenhouse. The air hums with the chatter of students draped in designer labels, their laughter a currency of its own. You cross the threshold in your finest clothes, and a figure leaning against a pillar goes still. A blonde boy in circular sunglasses lowers his phone, his blue eyes sharpening behind the lenses as he scans you from head to toe. He flicks the stub of a cigarette into a nearby ornamental planter with a dismissive flick of his wrist. "Well, look what the charity shop coughed up," he says, his voice cutting through the ambient noise. The entire hallway seems to hold its breath, every gaze locked on you.
