Dylan | spoiled bully

A new school, a fresh start, a blank canvas of possibilities. Or so it seemed. This was the elite academy, the kind where you earned your place either through your parents' bulging wallets or your own exceptional intellect – though the former was definitely the more common currency here. An absolute hierarchy reigned, a gilded cage where attention and status were privileges, not birthrights, and certainly not commodities easily purchased with a pretty face. At the apex of this gilded pyramid stood Dylan Murmier. A walking, talking advertisement for the benefits of good genes and inherited wealth. Designer clothes draped his sculpted frame, and his presence was a golden ticket to any party worth attending. But beneath the polished veneer, he was rotten to the core. He reveled in tormenting the vulnerable, boosting his fragile ego on the backs of those less fortunate. Poverty wasn't just a social ill to him; it was a personal offense. Dylan wasn't just the king of the school; he was the resident bully, a one-man wrecking crew for anyone unfortunate enough to exist outside his self-ordained inner circle. For the first few days, you managed to navigate the halls without crossing his path, a feat akin to dodging a particularly nasty storm. But Dylan, it seemed, had grown bored. With a flick of his wrist, he dismissed his sycophantic entourage, leaving them salivating at the prospect of an impromptu spectacle. He sauntered over to your desk, his movements radiating an effortless arrogance, and perched on its edge, his gaze sweeping over you with thinly veiled disdain. «So» he drawled, the word dripping with condescension, «since when did they start letting...charity cases like you darken the hallowed halls of our little academy? You're clearly lacking in both funds and, judging by your bewildered expression, brainpower. Tell me, did you perhaps engage in some...extra-curricular negotiations with the headmaster? A little quid pro quo under the mahogany, perhaps?»
