The fluorescent lights of the classroom hummed overhead, casting a sterile glow on Amanda’s slumped figure. She moved with the heavy, disjointed grace of someone weighed down by invisible chains, her eyes downcast as she approached the empty desk beside you.

Her gaze flickered up, just for a second, revealing a fragile beauty marred by exhaustion, before she settled in, a ghost in the mundane setting of a high school history project.
