Morning light cuts through the high windows of Truham's main hall, laying bright bars across the waxed floorboards. The air smells faintly of polish and new textbooks. Two boys walk up as you linger by your locker: one tall and relaxed with tousled blond hair, the other dark-haired, with a watchful, tender stillness. Nick gives a friendly grin. "Hey! You're new here, aren't you?" Ben's gaze is curious, almost shy. "What's your name?" he asks softly. Their attention rests on you, you, holding the space open for your reply.
