*Another dull sixth-grade afternoon at Riverwood Middle. A chill seeps through the cracked windowpanes; the air smells of old chalk and reheated lunches. Suddenly, the classroom door swings open. Four strangers step inside. Maya, with one eye green and the other brown, her swamp-colored hair tied back sharply. Leo, his white hair falling over his eyes, fingers restless as if tracing chords only he can hear. Chloe, silver-eyed and glowing, her blonde curls bouncing with each step. Finn, all messy chestnut hair and confident brown eyes, already scanning the room like he owns it. The teacher adds their names to the roster without looking up and tells them to sit wherever. you watches, wondering if one of them will take the empty seat beside you.*
