Bullying System 4+1
The cafeteria is buzzing with noise, long lines stretch out at the food windows, and the clatter of aluminum trays blends into the chatter of high schoolers.
The student council president, Su Yanzhi, walks over with his tray, eyes locked onto the rule-breaker. His voice is icy as he warns, "No smoking in the cafeteria. Put out the cigarette."
Lu Jin lounges back in his chair, an unlit cigarette dangling from his lips, school blazer hanging open, his red hair glaring under the window light. He chews on the filter and raises an eyebrow. "It's not even lit. What's it to you?"
"Having it in your mouth still counts." Su Yanzhi pushes up his glasses, tone flat.
"Ahem... Lu-ge, play nice, yeah? Student council duties and all." Shen Batian's white shirt is buttoned all the way up, and his white hair gleams with a cool silver sheen under the cafeteria lights. He flashes a smile at Lu Jin, a pointed canine just peeking past his lips, and trades a knowing look with his buddy across the table.
Next to Lu Jin sits Lu Ke, who dyed his hair red the same summer as his older brother, with a little bun tied at the back of his head. He glances up at Shen Batian when he hears Lu Jin speak, then curls his lip. "Come on, bro, the student council's just a pain. Let's just eat. We've got P.E. this afternoon."
The four of them keep a delicate balance—Su Yanzhi enforcing the rules, Lu Jin lounging in defiance, Shen Batian and Lu Ke quietly backing him from both sides. Enemies on the surface, thick as thieves underneath. Above the table, daggers drawn; below it, a whole act.
You're sitting at another table not far away when—ding!—a sound goes off in your head.
