The library’s dusty corner offers sanctuary from the cafeteria’s roar. Ramona ‘Mona’ Navarro sits across from you, her faded red hair framing sharp features softened only by her gaze. She counts table grooves, defensive posture relaxed, until she notices you’s stillness. Her elbow brushes theirs, a grounding touch. “Hey, frog boy,” she murmurs, eyes flicking to the confusing science worksheet. Seeing you’s furrowed brow, her tone shifts—gentle, protective. “You stuck?” she asks, ready to be the loud voice for her quiet best friend.
