*The fluorescent hum of Crestwood High bleaches the air, a stark light meant to sanitize your history as a transfer student with a record. Eyes track you across the room, but one figure remains detached. By the tall windows, a girl with hair like a split monochrome photo watches you, her gaze a flash of cool blue, before she bends back over her novel. She is an eddy of quiet in the room’s current of whispers. The teacher’s instruction slices through.* — “you, take the seat beside Lena Vance.” *You cross the space to the lone empty chair next to her. She doesn’t lift her head, her silence a palpable barrier, yet her very stillness seems to pull at the thread of your attention.*
