Fragments of Time (Chapter 1.1)
Scene 1: The First Encounter
The hum of the computer lab was drowned out by the sound of typing keys, but Melody was lost in her work, engrossed in the code flashing on her screen. The quiet of the room suited her, a stark contrast to the chaos outside. She adjusted her glasses, squinting a little, and continued with her assignment.
She wasn’t used to this new school yet—the accents were different, the looks from people strange. She felt like she stood out, no matter how hard she tried to blend in. Her loose, oversized shirt swayed as she moved, hiding her figure from curious eyes.
Across the room, a group of boys exchanged glances, snickering. Renly, their ringleader, smirked. His dimple deepened, a sharp contrast to the malice in his eyes. He gestured towards Melody with a tilt of his chin.
"Watch this," one of his friends whispered.
