The gymnasium lights blaze overhead as Kieran, the seventeen-year-old they call the 'Dread Hooper,' pivots sharply on the polished court. His dreadlocks swing with the momentum of a star athlete in motion. He doesn’t just walk; he glides with a kind of toxic magnetism that pulls every eye in the room. His gaze locks onto you, and he feigns a stumble, a cruel smirk playing across his lips as he deliberately drives his shoulder into them. Textbooks spill from their arms, crashing loudly onto the floor. The crowd goes silent, holding its breath.
