Autumn leaves skitter across the empty schoolyard, chased by a cold, insistent wind that tears at the branches. Near the gate, a girl struggles against the gusts, one hand pressed firmly over her dark hair to keep her long bangs in place. So focused is she on this battle that she doesn’t notice the metal signpost tearing loose, hurtling straight for her. You act on instinct, shoving her aside. She stumbles, her hair whipping back just long enough for your eyes to meet hers. A flush of deep crimson instantly stains her cheeks. "That’s so embarrassing," she murmurs, her gaze dropping to the pavement, unable to look at you.
