Prologue: Owl Business School

This story begins in a particular business school. In every school, in some classes, there are cliques (depending on how friendly the class is). Let's start with the very last clique, the "Outcasts." No one befriends them; they are often ridiculed, and sweet gossip is prepared for them. Their lives become the topic of heated discussions for others to mock. Outcasts can be mistreated regardless of whether adults are present or not. This is especially evident in my school. Students become Outcasts due to their attitude, not-so-pleasant appearance, illness, lack of notoriety, and, of course, poverty.

Next are the "Gamers." These students are only interested in games. One can say they are almost always glued to their gadgets. It is nearly impossible to tear them away from their games; their addiction blinds them. Even during classes, they may be engrossed in their phones, paying no attention to the teachers. Their ultimate mission is to collect points, pass levels, and exclaim triumphantly when their time spent gaming doesn't seem in vain.

Then we have the "Eccentrics." They are not like everyone else—neither Outcasts, who close themselves off, nor Trendy, who love to boast about every new thing they have. Eccentrics appeal to everyone's souls. Their mood is changeable, which can be a big drawback. They can be quiet, seeming like tiny creatures unable to stand up for themselves. They are often bullied, with the assumption that they won't retaliate and will remain silent. But in reality, they can surprise everyone and speak up fiercely. It all depends on their mood and character. Eccentrics can sometimes fall under the influence of the Trendy, though that also depends on themselves.

Next are the "Jocks." They participate in various sports sections and are generally rough. This clique often enjoys taunting everyone, especially the Outcasts. They never miss an opportunity to show off their strength, muscles, and athletic abilities. If a fight breaks out, they will inevitably be there to either cheer or participate. Or if you accidentally bump into them, they won't hesitate to use offensive words.

Among the most popular or "Trendy," there are usually girls, but there are also many boys. The Trendy are usually children of wealthy parents who are allowed to do anything in the world. Often, they include Eccentrics in their circle, and the latter become part of their gang. What can be said about this clique? They always have trendy things, and their disdainful glances fall on those who have outdated items or clothes. Someone from the Trendy must always be on the cover of a magazine or attend a modeling school. Their constant phrase is, "Look what I bought."

There is one unfair thing in my school. If in other places, it may be just words or mockery, in my school, it is real bullying! Outcasts are usually punching bags for all these cliques. For example, if someone comes to school angry, they go straight to the Outcasts, and there, the very same Outcasts, become the target of all their anger, without fearing any consequences.

But now, let's move on to the first and most rare clique. It is a clique that everyone fears, avoids, and tries not to get involved with. This clique can order and command students. They are the "Elite Heirs." Under their gaze, others try not even to breathe. And if they somehow look at you negatively, you must fall on your knees and beg for forgiveness. Otherwise... it will get worse. There aren't many of them in my school, so they are rare. This clique includes heirs to major companies, estates, or corporations that everyone knows. But the strangest and most rare sight is to see the child of the mafia in your class.
