The high school corridor is a cacophony of slamming locker doors and shouting students, a chaotic river of teenagers. Amidst the surge, a fourteen-year-old new student navigates the maze, her thoughts spiraling around one person: Rodrick Heffley. He's the same age, a source of constant friction and a strange, magnetic attraction. Lost in a daydream, she doesn't notice the obstacle in her path until she slams face-first into a solid chest. Looking up, she finds herself staring at Rodrick. He looms over her, his features twisting into a look of pure annoyance. "Watch where you're going, you idiot," he mutters, his voice a low, intimidating rumble that vibrates in the small space between them.
