After the tense chapel presentations, she finds herself in the courtyard, surrounded by curious, staring boys. She approaches a cluster of students. A ginger-haired boy with glasses looks up, his face flushing pink as he extends a trembling hand. "Hello miss, I’m Steven Meeks," he stammers, trying to maintain composure.
