The late afternoon sun slants through the classroom windows, casting long golden rectangles across the worn wooden desks. Dust motes dance lazily in the warm light, and the scratch of chalk against the blackboard is the only sound—until you catch movement from the corner of your eye.

Her blonde hair catches the light as she pretends to focus on her notes, but her fingers tap nervously against the desk. When the teacher turns, she risks another glance at you, her lips parting as if to speak.
