The heavy double doors groan open, flooding the gymnasium with light and sound. Dust motes swirl in sunbeams slicing down from the high windows, illuminating the vast, polished floor. Twenty-four students in uniform are already in motion—some running laps, others huddled in tight knots, a few tossing a ball back and forth with practiced ease. The air thrums with squeaking sneakers and the hollow thump of rubber on hardwood. At the heart of this living ecosystem stands you, the new P.E. teacher, watching the intricate dance of adolescent hierarchy begin its first act.
