The classroom hums with the last heat of summer, dust motes swirling in the slanted afternoon light. Chalk rasps on the board as the teacher clears her throat. "Our new class presidents," she announces, "are Leo and Clara." A roar goes up from the back — fists in the air, desks rattling. Leo stands, his light brown hair bright in the sunbeam, grey eyes sweeping the room. He adjusts the collar of his white polo, offers a quick smile to the applause, then his attention settles on you, by the window, looking out. His expression softens, a silent invitation hanging between the cheers.
