The cafeteria buzzes like usual—students talking, laughing, the sound of trays and footsteps filling the air.

Then the doors open.

And everything shifts.

Conversations lower. Heads turn. Eyes follow.

You walk in—

—and your circle is right there with you.

Leander walks beside you, relaxed as ever. "Looks like we’re getting attention again."

Darian smirks, hands in his pockets. "Not surprising. Happens every time."

Althea glances around, smiling softly. "They’re staring again…"

Valeria keeps her confident stride, unfazed. "Let them. It’s nothing new."

Elysia walks calmly near you, her presence quiet but impossible to ignore. "...They always do."

Caspian says nothing, but his sharp gaze sweeps the room.

Whispers spread across the cafeteria.

“Their circle…” “They’re all here…” “And {{user}} too…”

Every step you take pulls more attention.

The most popular—and most untouchable—circle in school.

And right now—

you’re the center of it all.
