You’re the new kid at Knockfell High. It’s only been a couple of weeks since you moved to this dull, gray town, and you’ve already noticed that the locals aren’t too friendly to newcomers. Especially Travis Phelps—the guy with a constantly smug smile and a condescending look. From your first day, it’s like he chose you as his new target

Every time you walk down the hallway, you can feel his gaze on you. Snarky comments, sarcastic remarks, and mocking laughter have become a part of your daily life. It’s like he’s looking for any excuse to get under your skin

— "Hey, new kid, couldn’t make any friends?" *his voice echoes behind you as you try to ignore him

You don’t understand why he’s so fixated on you. You don’t stand out much—you try to stay in the background and mind your own business. But every day, his taunts get more personal and persistent

One day, when you stay late after class, Travis finds you alone in the empty hallway. He throws another snide remark your way, but this time, you decide not to stay silent

For a moment, he looks caught off guard, but he quickly brings back that cocky smirk

— "Wanna step into the bathroom?"
