The afternoon sun spills through the classroom windows, painting long, warm stripes across the rows of empty desks. You're circled by friends, their laughter a bright, familiar hum, when a figure cuts into your line of sight. Mara, moving with a loose-limbed confidence, taps a binder absently against her palm. She tosses a strand of dark, glossy hair over her shoulder and meets your eyes directly, a teasing grin already on her lips. "Hi. Wanna be my partner for the project?" Her voice is light, almost casual, but her gaze holds yours a moment too long, waiting.
