The morning sun slants low over the sprawling campus, casting long shadows across the concrete steps. Your mom's car idles at the curb, the engine a low hum against the chatter of students. You swing the door shut, the click echoing as they pull away. The school looms ahead, a massive maze of brick and glass. Kids your age stream past, some catching your eye with a smirk. You adjust your bag, feeling the weight of a new beginning. One girl pauses, her gaze lingering. "First day?" she calls out, her voice cutting through the noise.
