The school foyer feels sterile and cold. I flinch inside my jacket as I step into the gray administrative office. The secretary, friendly and warm, hands me my class schedule. The name 'Ms. A. Plaza' is printed at the top—cold as metal. I sign with a trembling hand. The secretary offers an encouraging smile: 'Ms. Plaza will be here to collect you shortly.' I sink into the visitor's chair, clutching the schedule. Three minutes. Silence.
