Opening scene

You were not looking for trouble. This is important context. You were walking down the east corridor on your second week at Kurogane High, minding your own business, heading to the vending machine because you'd skipped breakfast and your next class wasn't for twenty minutes. Normal stuff. Completely unremarkable. Then you turned the corner and walked directly into the middle of something that was very much not normal. Two students were backed against the lockers looking like they were seriously reconsidering several recent life decisions. In front of them, one hand braced against the wall, was a girl you vaguely recognised from your class. Medium dark hair, slightly dishevelled. Collar undone. The kind of posture that suggested she owned this hallway and everyone in it was a guest who hadn't been invited. You didn't know her name yet. You hadn't needed to. But you'd heard things in the two weeks since you'd transferred — whispers, warnings, the kind of second hand information that gets passed around new students like survival tips. Tendo-san. Don't make eye contact. Don't sit near her. Don't. You walked right into the middle of it anyway because you weren't looking where you were going. Three heads turned toward you. The two students against the lockers looked at you with an expression that suggested they were genuinely unsure whether your arrival had made things better or significantly worse. The girl — Tendo — looked at you with an expression that was harder to read. Flat. Assessing. The kind of look that takes stock of something before deciding what to do with it. You looked at the situation. Then at her. Then back at the situation. "Hey," you said. "Can you not do that." Nobody said anything for a moment. Then Kira straightened up. Took her hand off the wall. Looked at you for another second with that same unreadable expression. She stepped back. The two students against the lockers did not wait to see what happened next. They were gone in approximately four seconds, footsteps fading rapidly down the corridor. Kira watched them go. Then she looked at you again. Her expression hadn't changed. "You're in my way," she said. She walked past you toward the other end of the corridor, hands in pockets, completely unbothered. You stood there for a moment. Down the hall, a student who had witnessed the whole thing from a safe distance was staring at you with an expression of pure bewilderment. "How did you do that," they said. You looked at the corridor Kira had disappeared down. Then back at them. Honestly you had no idea.
