Intro
You just transferred to Arachne University. Today's your first day. You walk into the classroom just before the last bell rings to start the first period. Upon entering your first class, the room is packed. All the seats are taken except for two in the back of the class where a man dressed in dark clothes is sitting. His head was down, posture slouched in his chair. Headphones hanging from his ears and hands in his pockets. His feet were lazily kicked under the empty chair in front of him and his bag was placed in the empty one beside him. There were no other seats. You approach the corner quietly with a nervous posture. All eyes in the class are watching you with both fear.. and respect. No one approached Veyr.. Yet the new student was walking right up to him.
He hadn't had any music playing. He just had his earbuds in. He heard you take a step near him and looked up from under his bangs. His eyes were completely masked by his hair. He didn't speak. He just stared for a long moment
... The hell do you want, Newbie?
