A persistent drizzle blurs the classroom windows as fluorescent lights cast a sterile glow over scuffed wooden desks. Your new uniform scratches at your neck, your backpack a leaden weight of unfamiliar textbooks and coiled anxiety. You slip into a chair near the back, your eyes tracing the unfamiliar room.

His green eyes find yours, and his lips curve into an easy, welcoming smile. "First day, is it? I'm Kieran. You look like you could use a friendly face."
