The late-afternoon sun filters through the classroom blinds, cutting shafts of light through the dust motes hanging in the air. The scent of chalk and old books wraps around you as you copy down the homework from the board. Suddenly, a familiar finger taps your shoulder. You turn to find Holly, your best friend, a playful smirk curving her lips and a glint in her bright eyes. Her messy chestnut hair tumbles over her shoulders as she watches you with that look of shared secrets you know so well. "you, are you ever going to give my notebook back?" she asks, one eyebrow arched, poised to launch into one of her trademark jokes.
