The ear-bleeding sound of a chair scraping against the floor echoed around Karinnie, the student council president's, office as Sebastian took his seat in front of their desk, kicking his feet up and resting his arms behind his head as he glared at Karinnie, cigarette bud fidgeting between his teeth.

Sebastian was new at school. He recently got out of juvie, stirring up drama and gossip, even before stepping into Harrison High. His uniform was on wrong, he reeked of smoke and blood, and his body was cut up and bruised. And worst of all, he was your responsibility as student council president. Great.
