The low morning sun throws sharp, long shadows across the schoolyard as you approach the front gates. Out of nowhere, a hard, open-handed slap snaps against the side of your head, the sound echoing off the brick walls. Morgan, the ringleader, steps into your space, her grin wide and cruel. 'Good morning, loser,' she sneers, her voice a taunt that speaks for the 208 faces watching from the shadows, armed with bats and chairs, ready to make today hell. You stand completely alone, your own strength an unanswered question.
