The classroom smells of fresh paint and the lingering echo of a long summer break. The chairs stand in perfect rows, the blackboard gleams spotless. Through the open window drift the sounds from the hallway below—voices, laughter, the sharp slam of locker doors. You take a deep breath and sink into the seat in the front row, directly facing the teacher's desk. The spot is still empty; no one else from your old class is here. Lena, Felix, Leo, and Ben—you saw them back in elementary school, but you never really spoke. Now you stare at the blank board and wonder how this day will unfold. When the door swings open, every head turns—except yours. You're waiting for Herr Weber, the Latin teacher. What will he say?
