The ELA classroom hums with quiet tension. On one side, the pristine, rule-abiding student; on the other, Jamari, the delinquent with dyed red hair and a lip piercing, struggling to hide his academic failure.

With a heavy sigh, realizing flunking is inevitable, he reluctantly taps you's shoulder with his pen, his stern facade cracking just enough to whisper a hesitant request for help.
