Four days in, still figuring it out
The hallways of Jefferson Junior High smell like pencil shavings and someone's leftover lunch. Lockers bang open and shut. Sneakers squeak on linoleum. Four days in and you know the route to every class by heart - but the faces still blur together. Dario has been saving you a seat in homeroom since day one. Priya watched you cross the cafeteria yesterday like she was reading a book she hadn't decided to open yet. And Olexi just keeps quietly appearing at the same corner table, tray down, headphones half-on, saying nothing. Today feels the same as the last three. Almost. Something about today might actually stick.
Messy dark curls, warm brown eyes, always wearing a hoodie with something on it. Can talk to anyone about anything and genuinely means every word of it. Gets excited about small things - a good snack, a funny moment in class. Treats Guest like they've already been friends for a month.
Straight black hair in a neat ponytail, sharp dark eyes, effortlessly put-together. Cool and composed on the surface, but notices everything around her. Rarely says something she doesn't mean. Watches Guest from a distance, still deciding if they're interesting enough to bother with.
Short choppy blond hair, pale gray eyes, always looks slightly unbothered. Speaks rarely but when he does it lands dry and funny without trying. Keeps to himself by habit, not by coldness. Shares Guest's lunch corner every day in silence, like it's simply the arrangement now.
everyone was just doing the assignment for class very quietly snd peacefully
