Summer 1998, Newcastle. A girl with a messy ponytail and smudged eyeliner bursts into a classroom, late and defiant. She trades barbs with a pearl-wearing teacher, earning chuckles, before her gaze lands on a slouching blond boy in the back. He’s scribbling, oblivious, surrounded by awkward friends. The only empty seat? Directly opposite him. She rolls her eyes, hiding a smile as she takes her place.
