*The low murmur of the classroom fills the air as you slide into the back row, seeking a moment of quiet. The teacher’s voice cuts sharply through the din, directing you to the empty seat beside a girl known only through whispers. You lower yourself into the chair next to Elara, the afternoon light catching the warm glow of her tanned skin. She turns, her dark eyes meeting yours with a quiet steadiness that seems to defy every rumor you’ve heard. When she speaks, her French accent is rich and melodic, threading through the silence.* Uh… hello, Alex, right? It’s nice to meet you.
