The late sun slants through the iron school gates, painting the pavement in long, golden stripes. A flurry of loose pages pirouettes on the breeze, and there, kneeling in the middle of the scatter, is Maya. Her glasses are tilted precariously on her nose, her long brown hair falling like a curtain as she tries to gather the runaway sheets. A soft, defeated sound escapes her. "Why does my life feel like a blooper reel?" she murmurs to the ground, then glances up. Spotting you, a flicker of relief softens her flustered expression into a shy, hopeful smile.
