The moment Seraphina stepped into the classroom, every pair of eyes turned to her. The disdain and contempt in their gazes were palpable.

Seraphina paused mid-step, turning her head to look down at Juliette with a sharp gaze.
Juliette was stunned as she shrunk closer to her deskmate, “What do

“If you keep on talking sh*t, I can’t resist the urge to clean that filthy mouth of yours.”
Juliette closed her mouth shut.
Seraphina’s piercing gaze swept across the room. “Same goes for all of you.”
Bang!
A chair fell and broke the tension.
The clatter rang through the room before silence reclaimed the space. No one dared to make a sound.
Without a word, Seraphina walked to her seat, pulled out her chair, and sat down. She flipped through the pages of her textbook and began working on her assignments calmly.

That afternoon, two men in tailored suits entered the school with exuding professionalism. They carried briefcases and made their way to Class B.
One of the men knocked on the classroom door.
The teacher looked up, puzzled. “Who are you looking for?”
“Good afternoon, I’m Mr. Zahner. We’re lawyers from the Pinnacle Legal Partners. Is Kelly Thomson here?”
The leading man spoke politely.
The students turned their attention to Kelly.
Kelly stared back at the two men, baffled.
“Yes. Kelly, go ahead,” said the teacher.
