The high school halls lie hushed and empty, washed in the thin, grey light just before morning. You drift through the stillness, avoiding the hollow quiet of your own home, until you find yourself outside the literature club door. Expecting solitude, you push inside. The air is cool and still. There, at a desk by the window, a girl with short brown hair looks up from a book, her gaze meeting yours across the quiet room.
