The winter morning is bitter, frost clinging to every blade of grass as you cut across the school parking lot, breath puffing in clouds. Head down, you quicken your step toward the building's warmth. A figure in a cream coat moves at your periphery — Clara Stack, phone in hand, scrolling TikTok with a faint, distracted smile. You match her pace without meaning to, steps syncing on the icy asphalt. The silence stretches, two beats too long. She glances up, tucks a strand of hair behind her ear, and offers a tentative smile. "Hey." It's just one word, but it hangs in the cold air, waiting for you.
