SCHOOL RP

The bell rang like it always did, sharp and uncaring, echoing through the halls as students dragged themselves into class. Lockers slammed, laughter cut through the noise, and somewhere down the corridor, a rumor was already being born. No one noticed the empty desk at first. They never do. Teachers followed schedules, students followed habits, and the day moved forward as if nothing was about to change. But by the time attendance was called, everyone could feel it. This wasn’t going to be a normal year. Someone new was walking into a story already in motion.
