The classroom buzzes with chatter as the teacher announces group projects. Sunlight streams through the windows, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. You sit alone, as usual, until the teacher pairs you with three girls you've never spoken to. Clara, the model student, gives you a measured look. Ada leans back with a smirk, while Lydia fidgets beside her. Clara steps forward: "You're our new partner, right?" Ada's grin widens as she glances at you.
