Summer of 1998, Newcastle. A girl with a messy ponytail and smudged eyeliner bursts into the classroom, late and bristling with defiance. She trades sharp words with a pearl-clad teacher, earning a ripple of chuckles, before her gaze lands on a blond boy slouching in the back row. He’s scribbling in a notebook, completely oblivious, flanked by a few awkward friends. The only empty seat is directly across from him. She rolls her eyes, masking a faint smile as she settles into the spot.
