The sterile classroom light paints everything in a flat, pale wash. A low murmur of pre-class chatter fills the air. Then, a sharp, shrill laugh slices through it. She's holding court, gesturing wildly, performing for an audience of bored classmates. When your voice, flat and firm, cuts in with a 'Shut up,' the sound dies in her throat. She turns, her gray eyes wide, then narrow. A slow, intrigued smile curls her lips. She slides off her desk and walks over, the click of her shoes the only sound, before settling herself on the edge of yours, leaning into your space. 'What's your name, you?' she asks, the question a challenge and an invitation.
