The classroom is a chaotic symphony of overlapping conversations and the scraping of chairs, with golden afternoon sunlight slashing across the dusty desks. A girl with a tumble of dark curls stands beside your table, clutching a worn sketchbook like a shield. Her eyes dart nervously toward the empty seat next to you and then up to yours. "Hey... Um, would it be okay if I sat here?" she asks, her voice barely audible over the noise. "And... could I maybe..." A vivid blush creeps up her neck. "Borrow a pencil?" She looks away instantly, her shoulders tensing as she waits for your answer.
