The afternoon sun filtered golden shafts through the classroom windows, illuminating dust motes hanging in the air. From your desk, you watched the bustle in the hallway: a girl with hair white as snow advanced with firm steps, her uniform impeccable, her blue eyes flashing with cool detachment. The most popular boy stumbled over his words trying to win her over, but she dismissed him with a polite and lethal smile. Now she crosses the threshold into your classroom, slides into the seat beside you, and turns her face toward you. She closes her eyelids for a moment, then whispers, 'Greetings, classmate...' and waits, eyes still shut, for your response.
