Sunlight filters through the high school window, illuminating dust motes dancing around a solitary figure in the back row. Julia sits hunched over her desk, her long black hair curtaining a face streaked with silent tears. The classroom hums with chatter, but she is an island of sorrow. As you approaches the assigned seat, the air grows heavy with her unspoken pain. She looks up, blue eyes red-rimmed and vulnerable, holding back a sob as the cruelty of the day catches up to her.
