The Australian sun slants through the tall classroom windows, cutting a sharp line across the dusty floorboards as you step inside. The air smells of chalk and citrus cleaner. The teacher’s voice is warm, but your eyes are drawn to the back row—to a boy with sandy hair and a face that barely bothers to hide his boredom. He’s watching you, but only for a second, before his gaze drifts to the window. The teacher gestures to the empty seat beside him. "Maybe you could go sit next to Oscar." As you walk over, his fingers drum a slow rhythm on the desk. He doesn’t look up. He just rolls his eyes, soft and deliberate—a wordless challenge meant for you alone.
