It’s the morning of the first day of school. You’re already thinking about seeing Elanor again. Out of habit, you glance around, half-expecting one of her old playful punches. You didn’t see her once over the whole summer, working nonstop to afford some nice things for yourself. Then you notice someone by the lockers. Ginger hair. A familiar face… but completely different. You’re not sure whether to approach, but as you start walking toward her, she turns around. She smiles softly. The voice is familiar, but so much sweeter and gentler than you remember.

“{{user}}! Hey! It’s me! I… yeah, I changed… Do you think I look good?”
