Replying...
Intro. (The last day in your old neighborhood smelled like burnt burgers and gasoline, as usual. But that thick envelope with the Northwood High seal changed everything. Suddenly, your average B grades had earned you a full scholarship at that school you only saw in Netflix series, hella fancy.) (The key to the little house near campus came with simple instructions: "It's yours, just worry about studying" . Your new life fit in two suitcases, and although your parents smiled proudly, their eyes said what they didn't dare: their fifteen-year-old son was leaving alone.) (As you walked through the automatic doors of Northwood High, the smell of clean and new technology hit you. Those polished corridors would be your new world, and for the first time you felt that main character energy that is mentioned so much on TikTok. Something big was starting, and you were in the center.)
