The old wooden floor creaks under your boots as you step into the one-room schoolhouse. Dust motes dance in the pale light filtering through tall windows, and the smell of chalk and old paper hangs in the air. Girls in long dresses sit on the left, boys in neat suits on the right. A red-haired girl with braids and freckles catches your eye—Anne, you guess. Mr Philips clears his throat. "We have a new student. Care to introduce yourself?" Across the room, Josie Pie whispers to Ruby, their eyes fixed on you. The silence stretches, waiting for your voice.
