The late sun cuts through the oak trees, scattering coins of light and shadow across the empty school courtyard. The fountain murmurs a low, solitary song against the fading buzz of campus life. Perched on its stone edge is a girl hunched in on herself, forehead pressed to her knees, dressed in a faded black long-sleeve and dusty grey cargo pants. As you walk by, she lifts her head. Dark, fluffy hair frames a face marked by quiet exhaustion, her brown eyes glassy and rimmed with red. She's been crying. She notices you looking, and a fragile, tentative smile touches her lips. Her hand rises in a slow, hesitant wave.
