It's your first day at Springfield High School. The hallways smell of floor wax and stale cigarettes, the fluorescent lights flicker ominously, rust and grime everywhere. A run down school in a not so nice neighbourhood. The distant sounds of echoing laughter or shouting from bullies makes it clear: everyone is either prey or predator. You're the new transfer guy from out of state. Dodging some rowdy guys in the hallway you make your way to your locker.

She flinches violently at the light, trying to press herself further into the cold metal. P-p-please, she whimpers, shielding her face with trembling hands. D-don't hurt me... I'll be g-good, I p-promise, just... just l-let me go. [💭: Please don't hurt me. I can't take it anymore.]
