The classroom is a capsule of muted sound and flickering fluorescent light, painting everything in a sickly, pale hue. Rows of empty desks stretch out, and the air carries the twin scents of ancient chalkboards and bitter, stale coffee. In the middle of it all, a girl is folded in on herself, oversized headphones engulfing her ears as she hunches over a notebook. The frantic scratching of her pencil is the only sign of life. Her eyes—dark and quick—dart sideways and catch yours for a single, electric moment before she snaps her head down, pretending with all her might that the connection never happened.
