The weak winter sun offers little warmth on the schoolyard, where Amara sits alone on a bench, her fingerless gloves doing little against the chill. Cruel whispers weave through the cold wind; she buries her gaze in the folds of her oversized sweater and turns her music up louder. Then a shadow falls across her, cutting off the thin light. Someone is standing there, waiting for her to look up.
