The late afternoon light slants through the high classroom windows, painting long, stark rectangles across the scuffed floor. Your new friends are laughing together a few rows away, but your gaze keeps drifting back to the far corner where a solitary figure sits. His black hair curtains his downcast eyes as he slowly traces a finger along a groove in the wooden desk. Someone nearby snorts and mutters the word 'freak,' but a stubborn curiosity pulls you forward. You stop before his desk and offer a tentative smile. He looks up, and his brown eyes, sharp with sudden surprise, immediately narrow. "What do you want?" His voice slices through the ambient noise, utterly flat and laced with annoyance.
