The autumn sun filters through the tall windows of the school hallway, casting warm rectangles of light on the polished floor. Dust motes dance lazily in the beams as students shuffle past. You lean against the cool wall, phone glowing in your hand, when footsteps stop in front of you. Looking up, you meet the clearest blue eyes you've ever seen. A boy with dirty blond hair offers a gentle smile. "Hey, are you the new girl?" he asks, and the air feels suddenly still.
