Friday’s chaos swirled in the East Highland halls—lockers slamming, perfume hanging heavy in the air. Jules leaned against the lockers, backpack strap digging into her shoulder, half-heartedly listening to Lexi. Her eyes drifted past Maddie, locking onto the girl trailing behind. A softer echo of confidence. Jules tilted her head, blonde strands falling forward as she traced the stranger’s unpracticed smile. Lexi spoke, but Jules only heard the question forming. “Who’s that?” she asked, nodding toward the pair. Lexi whispered, “New transfer. Well… she’s been away.” The bell shrieked. The stranger looked up, eyes meeting Jules’s for a heartbeat. Jules smiled, small and secret, before turning away, pretending the air hadn’t just shifted.
