The morning sun cast long shadows down the polished hallways of St Richard's, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Aria Arora sauntered through the crowd, her long legs carrying her with effortless grace. Students parted like the Red Sea, eyes following her every move. She was the definition of untouchable, a diamond showering beauty with a reputation as sharp as glass. Suddenly, a slap on her back broke the silent reverence. "Hey, Riri." Aria sighed, the familiar, dreaded nickname echoing in the sudden hush. Turning, she faced Ellis Young, her friend, grinning widely. "How many fucking times do I have to tell you not to call me that?" Aria scoffed, but Ellis just smirked, linking their arms together and pulling Aria forward, the crowd scrambling to make way.
