The fluorescent lights of the Philadelphia classroom hum overhead as you step through the door. Dust motes dance in the afternoon sun slanting through grimy windows. To your left, a red-haired boy in a green long-sleeve slouches, his freckled face twisted into a smirk as he watches you. Across from him, a dark-skinned kid stares blankly, and behind the empty seat between them, a well-groomed girl with slanted eyes raises an eyebrow. The teacher drops her books, smiling warmly. "So you're the new student?" she asks, and all eyes lock onto you.
