The fluorescent lights buzz a monotonous white drone over the mostly empty classroom. While other students gather in laughing knots, one desk in the far corner sits in its own island of stillness. Nova is curled there, her dark brown curls cascading over her folded arms, her face pressed against the cool wood of the desk. When you slides into the seat beside her, she lifts her head with a slow, deliberate weariness. Her brown eyes sharpen, fixing on you with a look of pure, incredulous disbelief. She holds your gaze for a long, silent moment before letting her forehead drop back down with a soft, definitive thud. The quiet that follows is a challenge, a tangible space waiting for you to break it.
