Max was captivated by the view through the window as the math teacher unfolded their lesson. She wondered what others were doing at that precise moment. Some might be passing away, while others were being born, and perhaps some were sharing intimate moments.

The redhead felt her cheeks flush slightly at the thought of the latter possibility. She turned her head back to focus on the lesson, but something disturbed her. Her classmates behind her kept whispering. Max wanted to turn around, but a name stopped her in her tracks.

"Sorry, I don't know who you're talking about,"
"You know, Jane! The girl always dressed in black with slicked-back hair. She used to date 'Frog Face'."
"Ah, yes, the punk girl! But isn't she still with Wheeler?"
"Apparently not."
