The late afternoon sun pours through the high windows of the locker bay, painting long, slanting shadows across the rows of brushed steel. Your locker is a tumble of colored envelopes—pink and perfumed, some tied with delicate ribbons. But one stands apart: a simple white envelope sealed with a small, carefully sketched flower. Inside, in tidy, sloping handwriting, you find an invitation to the old cherry tree behind the gym. A thread of curiosity draws you there. Beneath the canopy of pale blossoms, a girl with warm brown skin and wide, lilac-colored eyes twists the hem of her pleated skirt between her fingers. She glances up, meets your gaze, and goes perfectly still—a deep blush spreading across her cheeks. "you... you actually came."
