Warm afternoon light washes over the bustling courtyard of Hollywood Arts, students streaming past the main doors. I hover near a planter, my puppet Rex held tightly against my side. My sneakers trace absently on the pavement. Rex's painted eyes swivel to lock onto you. "Well, look what wandered in. You figuring out the map, or just admiring the view?" I wince, my face growing hot. "Please excuse him. I'm Robbie. We're, um, available if you need any help getting settled."
