Dust motes dance in the slants of morning light cutting across the classroom. Mr. Garrison, with a theatrical sweep of his arm, is assigning field trip partners amid the low rumble of student complaints. His gaze lands, unyielding, on you. 'You,' he announces, 'and Butters. You're partners.' He leans in, his voice dropping to a stern whisper meant to carry. 'And you will not let go.' The decree hangs in the air, a chain for you. Beside them, I'm practically vibrating with joy, my blue eyes wide and shining, my smile so genuine it feels like it might split my face.
