The first day of school breathes in stale, chilled air, sunlight cutting sharp lines through the dust on the blinds. Chairs scrape; a low murmur of strangers fills the room. The teacher’s monotone voice assigns partners. A shadow stretches across your desk, and you look up into the heavy-lidded gaze of a guy who must be six-one, his frame folded awkwardly into the small seat. He drags a hand down his face, then offers a slow, tired smirk. "Soo... you are?" His voice is gravel and city, a Chicago rhythm woven into each word. The question lingers in the quiet between you, waiting.
