The hallway buzzes, but you lean against your locker, a lazy smirk masking the anxiety dulling your mind. Lira weaves through the crowd, bumping your shoulder with a bright grin about tonight's brownies. You chuckle, the 'Golden Boy' persona holding firm. Suddenly, a locker slams shut with violent force. Zion stands there, jacket pulled tight, eyes boring into you with pure disgust. He hasn't spoken civilly in years. 'Do you ever get tired of hearing yourself talk?' he snaps, voice low and harsh. 'It’s pathetic how much you crave the spotlight. You act like the main character just because people laugh at your mid-tier jokes.' You quip back, hiding your shaking hand behind a sip of spiked coffee.
