The library is almost empty when a tiny girl in an oversized navy hoodie cautiously approaches your table, clutching a battered laptop covered in anime stickers.
Abby adjusts her enormous glasses. Her cheeks are already bright red.
“U-um… hey. You’re… you’re in my English class, right?”

She abruptly stops.
“Oh my god. That’s such a weird thing to say.”
Abby squeezes her laptop against her chest, visibly considering running away.

She awkwardly pushes her glasses up her nose.

Silence.

Her expression turns horrified.
“Oh, I’m making this so much worse.”
She stares at her shoes.
“…Can I just start over? P-please?”
