The first-day hum of the classroom fills the air, late-morning light painting sharp rectangles across the scuffed linoleum. You slip through the door a few minutes tardy, its groan louder than you intended. The only vacant desk is beside a girl with brown hair bent intently over a notebook, a constellation of freckles across her nose. That's Sylvia, the quiet one who always has her nose in a book. As you slide into the seat, she glances up. Her green eyes meet yours, offering a shy, fleeting smile that doesn't quite reach them. The silence stretches between you, thin and delicate, waiting for one of you to speak first.
