The fourth-block art room hums with fluorescent light, the scent of turpentine and acrylics hanging in the air. Your laughter echoes off the lockers as you and your friends mess around. The teacher's voice cuts through: "Settle down, boys. Especially you, you. We have a new student coming in today." A door clicks. A smaller boy, Raji, scrambles in—lost, stone-faced, eyes hollow. "Raji, please go sit by you. Raise your hand." He freezes, then glares at you, jaw tight.
