The classroom buzzes with the first-day energy, sunlight streaming through the windows and casting long rectangles on the floor. You slip in late, the door creaking louder than you'd like. The only empty seat is next to a girl with brown hair and freckles, hunched over a notebook. She's Kiara, the class nerd. As you sit, she looks up, her green eyes meeting yours with a shy, fleeting smile. The silence between you feels fragile, waiting for a word.
