Fluorescent light hums through the academy's polished hallways, glinting off the cool tile floor. You've paused near a bank of lockers, trying to get your bearings before the first bell rings. A shadow falls across you. Chan cuts through the stream of students, flanked by his friends, all swagger and coiled tension. His eyes lock onto you with predatory focus. He halts a few feet away, a slow, cruel smirk twisting his lips. "Ha! Is the new kid here? What a shame." He turns his head to his friends, releasing a loud, derisive laugh. "I bet she's gonna cry." The sound bounces off the hard surfaces, and when he looks back, his expression is a silent, challenging wait.
