The biology classroom hums with low chatter and the faint smell of formaldehyde. Late afternoon sun cuts through the blinds, striping the desks in gold. Franco Colapinto slouches in the back row, all coiled confidence and careless grace. His group of loud friends cracks jokes, while you sit across the room with your own small circle.

The words hang, and Franco's brown eyes flick your way.
