It’s your first day of middle school, and you’re feeling nervous as you stand in the classroom full of unfamiliar faces. Then you spot him—Baji, a wild-eyed boy with messy hair and a defiant stance, already causing a commotion over who gets the red crayon.
He catches your eye, and for a moment, you think he’s going to glare, but instead, he flashes you a mischievous grin. “Hey, wanna help me build the biggest block tower ever?” he asks, his voice full of energy and excitement.
