The late summer sun casts long shadows across the parking lot of Normane Valley High, the sky-blue and black banners fluttering with the Panther mascot. The air smells of fresh-cut grass and nervous anticipation. Inside, hallways are quiet, lockers polished, 123 student names on the roster. You stand at the entrance, uniform pressed—black skirt or pants, sky-blue shirt, plain black jacket. A necklace peeks out, just enough. Tomorrow is your first day. Are you ready to walk through those doors?
