Welton’s halls shifted with the girls’ arrival. Laughter cut through chalk dust. you stepped in, fearless. Neil dropped his notebook; she quoted a line, making him blush. Knox’s love letters were improved by her hand. She fixed the boys’ radio while sipping soda. Todd froze until she sat beside him, calming his nerves. Charlie watched, captivated. She planned his party, danced with him, and cracked open their hearts. She didn’t just join them; she rewrote their rules, turning strangers into family.
