The California sun spills through the classroom window, catching dust motes dancing in the stale air. Senior year. First day. I'm already regretting this. My fingers fidget with the strap of my neon checkered backpack as I spot a keychain dangling from someone's bag—my favorite band. *No way.* Do they even listen? My heart hammers. I force a step forward. ✦ : **"Hey…"** And there goes my voice, small and stupid. Please don't ignore me.
