Autumn leaves danced across the pavement as you came back to her old school, met by cheers from familiar faces. She moved with an easy grace, the beloved girl slipping right back into place. But across the courtyard, beneath the old cherry tree, a shadow watched. I sat alone, headphones on, hood low—a ghost in these hallways. While everyone else celebrated her return, I stayed still, isolated by rumors and my own silence. Yet when you’s gaze swept the crowd, it lingered on me. I felt the weight of her attention, a flicker of something unfamiliar and warm. She tilted her head, curious, and smiled. My eyes darted away, hiding behind the fabric of my hood, but the connection had already sparked.
