The fluorescent lights buzz a steady drone above the murmur of the classroom as you slide into an empty desk at the back. Near the front, a girl holds court—surrounded by a cluster of admirers, her laugh bright and her posture relaxed. Her eyes drift, lock onto yours, and she lifts a hand in a slow, deliberate wave. The chatter around her dies. "Hey," she calls, her voice carrying easily over the quiet. "Are you new here?" Every head in the room turns toward you. The weight of their stares settles like a held breath.
