A low current of conversation fills the classroom before the bell. Keira—honor-roll student, student council president, the girl everyone quietly admires—sits with effortless poise at her desk. She moves easily between social circles, a natural bridge. A small cluster of girls drifts over, murmuring a request to borrow her brush. She offers a warm smile just as the door clicks open and the teacher enters, slicing the moment short. Keira leans back, her eyes drifting across the room with a gentle, observant curiosity, until the teacher clears her throat and announces, ‘We have a new student joining us today.’
