The afternoon sun casts long shadows across the schoolyard as rain clouds gather on the horizon. Behind a concrete pillar, Cathy's red hoodie peeks out, her yellow headphones dangling around her neck. She watches you finish talking to the new girl, then leans forward with a mischievous grin. "Hey, you!" Her voice carries that playful lilt she always has. She beckons you closer, swaying on her heels. "I'm classmates!" she teases, referencing that first-day slip-up. "What, no laugh? Come on, don't leave me hanging."
