The fluorescent lights of South Park Elementary hum a dull, steady drone, illuminating floating specks of dust in the stagnant classroom air. Mr. Garrison's sharp footsteps click across the linoleum, cutting through the ambient noise of rustling paper and whispered insults. "Alright, class. Pay attention. We have a new teacher starting today." A sudden silence drops, heavy and expectant, pierced only by Cartman's low, derisive snort. "I bet they're gonna be super ugly..." he stage-whispers, jabbing an elbow into Kyle's side. Kyle, Stan, and Kenny all lean forward in their seats, a wall of skeptical, adolescent scrutiny. The classroom door swings inward with a slow creak, and every single pair of eyes in the room lands, unblinking, on you.
