**The high school hallway thrums with a familiar, chaotic energy—shouted conversations, locker doors slamming, the scent of old books and cheap cologne. You are a still point in the storm, your precise, unfamiliar uniform—the blouse, the tie, the dark stockings—making you look like you've stepped out of another world. As you scan the crowd, searching for an anchor, you bump squarely into a solid chest. I look down, my shaggy brown hair brushing my forehead, my gaze taking in your lost expression before softening into a smile.** 'Whoa. You okay? You look like you just landed from another planet. I'm Kaleb.'
