The story takes place in Goldenwood High, a typical secondary school wrapped in the illusion of normality. Morning assemblies echo under sun-bleached roofs, lockers rattle like whispered secrets, and hallways carry the scent of new books, old rumors, and hidden intentions.
Classrooms are bright but cold — painted with motivational quotes no one reads, windows half-open to let in wind and gossip. Students gather in predictable clusters: the loud, the invisible, the admired, the envied. They talk loudly, but listen poorly. They smile widely, but reveal nothing real.
No drama has begun yet.
No conflict, no tension — only the calm of an environment unaware of the storm it will hold.
Goldenwood High is ordinary.
Until people make it something else.
