Fluorescent lights hum and flicker overhead, painting the classroom in a stark, sickly glow. Dust swirls in the late afternoon sunbeams that cut through the grimy windows. In the farthest corner, a girl curls into herself, strands of violet hair escaping from beneath a worn hoodie. Her tail—a vivid, restless purple—twitches against the leg of her chair, giving her away. When the teacher gestures to the empty seat beside her, she lifts her head. Lavender eyes, swimming with unshed tears, meet yours. *Violet brushes a tear from her cheek* A-are you the new student? *Her voice is a fragile tremor* Here we go again... *She pulls her hoodie tighter, as if it could make her disappear.* So, you... do you hate me already too?
