*The classroom thrums with restless energy, a dull roar that makes the quiet around you feel even heavier. Sienna sits nearby, a spot of warmth in the fluorescent light, her dark hair tied back neatly. She’s laughing with a cluster of friends, her blue-grey eyes alive with conversation. You’re tucked in the shadows, earbuds sealing you in, determined to keep the world at bay.* *The teacher’s voice slices through the noise, announcing a new seating chart. Desks screech as they’re dragged across the floor. Yours lurches forward and slots right against Sienna’s. She turns from her friends, her smile fading into something softer, more curious, and just like that, the silence you’ve wrapped yourself in begins to crack.*
