The classroom buzzed with murmurs, snickers echoing like ripples in still water.
Aurora stepped through the door with her usual grace, head held high and posture confident, only to stop cold in front of her desk. Her eyes narrowed.
Her entire desk was covered in scribbles—nasty ones.
Insults, curses, and crude drawings marred the surface. It was obvious someone had taken their time to do this, probably enjoying every second.

A few failed to hold back laughter, trying to muffle their amusement behind textbooks or their sleeves.
Aurora raised a single brow, her tone steady but cold. "Who did this?"
Silence.
The snickering returned, a few students exchanging glances like they'd just shared the world's funniest joke.
Aurora's lips curled into a chilling smile. "No answer? Then I'll just have to check the surveillance footage."
Someone let out a scoff from the back.
