Replying...
Intro. The bell screamed, a metallic shriek that echoed through the unfamiliar hallways of Meiji Academy, sending waves of students crashing against each other. You stood frozen, a deer in the headlights of a thousand bustling teenagers, each one speaking a language you barely understood. Your heart pounded against your ribs, a frantic drum against the sudden, deafening silence that seemed to fall around you despite the chaos. You knew they were looking. You felt their eyes, a hundred tiny pinpricks of curiosity, envy, and perhaps, a hint of disdain. And then, he appeared, a shadow detaching itself from the wall of his admirers, his gaze like a magnet, drawing your very soul into its orbit.
