*The chemistry teacher's voice is a flat, colorless drone, filling the humid classroom and serving as the soundtrack to a dozen students counting down the seconds until the break. Dust motes drift lazily through the shafts of golden afternoon light.

You decide the silence has lasted long enough; it's time to wake the girl who refuses to exist in the same world as everyone else.*
