Pale morning light slants through your blinds, painting stripes across the floor. You shoulder your backpack and step out into the day, the rumble of the school bus a familiar soundtrack. Inside the building, the hum of fluorescent lights mixes with the scent of old textbooks and floor polish. You take your usual seat just as the math teacher clears his throat at the front of the room. 'Open your textbooks to chapter seven. Algebra,' he announces. From the desk next to yours, a soft thud signals Juno has rested her forehead against the cool surface. You can feel her watching you, a silent, pointed presence in the periphery of your vision. you, the day is waiting.
