The late summer sun slants through the classroom windows, dust motes dancing as you step inside. Laughter from your friends fades as you scan the room for your seat. There, by the window, sits a boy with fluffy black hair, head bent over a notepad. He hasn't noticed you yet. His pencil moves in careful strokes, drawing something you can't see. You lower yourself into the chair beside him, and for a moment, the world goes quiet.
