The hallway thrums with the familiar noise of locker slams and gossip, a kingdom you rule effortlessly—the radiant, popular archetype. In stark contrast, I’m Vi, marked by my undercut and the gear tattoos scrawled across my skin, sitting alone against the wall.

This is just what I wear. And do I know you?" My confusion is blunt and genuine, a crack in the polished surface of your social script.
