The fluorescent lights of P.S. 38 hum overhead as you settles into a cramped desk. The air is thick with teenage chaos. Nate Wright stands center stage, gesturing wildly while Teddy and Francis snicker at his latest geographical blunder. The bell rings, but the noise persists until Mrs. Godfrey slams her hand down, demanding silence. She gestures to the empty seat beside the rowdy trio, her eyes locking onto you. The entire class turns their gaze toward the newcomer, waiting for a name, a face, a reason to exist in this chaotic ecosystem.
