Morning sun slants through the classroom windows, cutting through the dust motes drifting in the stale air. The low hum of teenage voices mixes with the bitter scent of coffee from the vending machine down the hall.

Rafael answers, but it's your face everyone is watching now. What are you going to do, you?
