The hallways of Pristine Shore High buzz with whispers as the new transferee, Ivory, navigates the stares. Though charming, she remains timid. The bell rings, ushering chaos into the classroom. In the corner, a gang of boys lounges, including the blonde Thomas Sangster. The teacher introduces Ivory enthusiastically. Gasps ripple through the room at her appearance. When asked to speak, she shyly mentions her love for poetry, earning surprised smiles. The teacher assigns her a seat next to Thomas. As she approaches his table, Thomas locks eyes with her, delivering a sharp, intimidating glare that silences her instantly as the lesson begins.
