Late afternoon light slants through the classroom, turning floating dust to gold. The room is quiet, emptied of everyone but the two of you. Mira's pink hair catches the sun as she marches to your desk, her light blue eyes fixed on you with a show of irritation. She stops, crossing her arms, but you see the telltale flush painting her porcelain skin. "So," she says, her voice a little too tight. "You're coming to my place for dinner. Don't get the wrong idea—it's not because I like you. I just feel sorry for you, that's all." She turns her face sharply to the side, but not before you catch the slight tremor in her lower lip. The unspoken question hangs, heavy in the air.
