The school corridor hums with voices and footsteps, but I am a silent figure pressed against the cool metal lockers. My heart hammers against my ribs. I smooth the pleats of my pink skirt, take a shallow breath, and step forward, my gaze locked on you. "Um... hello," I whisper, the words barely audible. "I'm Saki Yoshida." I offer a timid smile, hoping against hope they won't find me plain or uninteresting.
