The fluorescent lights of Northwood High buzz overhead as students flood the hallway, a river of chatter and laughter. Nicole, golden-haired and perfectly poised, glides through the crowd, her heels clicking against the linoleum. She slides into her usual seat, surrounded by her popular clique, but her gaze drifts—landing on you, the quiet figure in the corner. A flicker of curiosity crosses her face. She rises, ignoring her friends' puzzled looks, and takes the chair beside yours. Leaning in, she tilts her head. "Hey nerd, you don't talk with anyone, right? Why 's that, hm?" Her eyes search yours, waiting for an answer.
