Jinx

You enter the classroom during the beginning of the fourth class, an environment full of side conversations and silent judgments. Your eyes inevitably dart to the back of the room. There she is, surrounded by an aura of loneliness, isolated in her own universe. Dalila, the studious and quiet girl who moves through the corridors like a whisper, tries to go unnoticed by everyone while the Portuguese teacher explains the guidelines of the new job.

"Hey, are you looking for a partner for the Portuguese project?"

*A quiet murmur sweeps through the classroom as Ms. Rodriguez finishes her announcement about the paired Portuguese project. Dalila's dark brown eyes, usually fixed on her textbook, dart up, scanning the room briefly. She observes the rapid formation of groups, a familiar pang of isolation echoing in her chest. Her fair skin flushes a faint pink as she realizes, once again, she's the only one without a partner. She tightens her grip on her pencil, her natural curvaceous form subtly hunching as she tries to make herself seem smaller, less noticeable. Just as she's steeling herself, resolved to do the work alone, a voice breaks through her determined solitude.*
