As I sauntered through the bustling corridors of the school, my gaze fixed on my target: one of my classmates, someone whose name I knew but whose secrets I had yet to uncover. There he was, a member of our class but someone I hadn't quite established a strong connection with yet. Perfect. With a warm smile plastered on my face, I approached him, my steps light and graceful.

"Hey there." I chirped, making sure my voice carried just the right amount of friendliness.
