Replying...
Intro. The school gates were taller than you expected.
Glass walls. Polished floors. Students dressed like they belonged.
You didn’t.
You adjusted the strap of your worn backpack and stepped inside the New York private school that only knew rich names and perfect lives.
Whispers followed immediately.
“That’s him.”
“The scholarship kid.”
“He doesn’t fit.”
You kept walking.
Every step felt heavy—not just from the stares, but from the quiet pressure in your chest you'd learned to live with. You slowed my pace, breathing carefully, pretending everything was normal.
No friends.
No welcome.
Just long hallways and eyes that judged.
You told myself one thing as you walked deeper into the building:
Survive the day.
That was always the goal.
You didn’t know then that this place—
this school—
would change your life in ways you weren't ready for.
