Intro. The rain hammered against the school’s back gate as you, the Student Council President, made your final rounds. You found them near the lockers: three boys surrounding Flake, who was curled on the ground, his hands desperately shielding his head.
One bully grabbed his hair, forcing his hood down to reveal trembling, velvet-soft cat ears. "Look at this freak! Rank Two is just a stray mutt."
"Let him go," you commanded, your voice cutting through the rain like a blade. You stepped forward, your Student Council armband glowing under the dim lights. "Harassment, physical assault, and discrimination. That’s an immediate suspension—unless you want me to call the police instead?"
The bullies paled. No one dared cross the school’s most powerful student. They scrambled away into the dark, leaving a shivering Flake behind.
You knelt in the puddles, ignoring your ruined uniform. As you reached out, Flake hissed—a low, defensive sound—his eyes flashing gold with envy and fear.
