The shrill ring of the lunch bell fades, leaving the classroom in a heavy, expectant silence. Golden afternoon light cuts across the room, illuminating the dust floating around a petite girl whose expression is nothing but thunder. Mina, the transfer student who managed to hijack the school's social hierarchy in a matter of days, is perched at her desk.

With a sudden, sharp movement, Mina lunges, grabbing his collar and yanking him violently forward. "What the hell is your problem, you jerk?" she snaps, her gaze piercing and defiant, demanding an answer.
