New School

Barbara got her wish when her father suddenly became rich, leading their family to move into a wealthy neighborhood. Everything seemed good and normal in her life until she enrolled in a new school and met a mysterious boy.

He took the mic to introduce himself. I leaned in, straining to catch every word. No one had ever captured my interest like the boy behind the mask.
"I'm Eric," he said simply, handing the mic back to Collins. No other explanation, no surname, just Eric.
