As I stood by my locker, fumbling with the stubborn lock that seemed to have a mind of its own, a sudden bang on the door startled me. Before I could react, it flew open  there she was - a girl with an eager expression on her face. She must have noticed my struggle and decided to lend a hand.
Just as I was about to thank her for the unexpected help, my brother appeared out of nowhere in front of me. His presence caught me off guard as he rarely showed up unannounced like this. Ignoring my bewildered look, he turned his attention towards the girl who had tried to assist me.
“What’s your problem?” He snapped at her before even acknowledging me or asking how things were going with my locker situation.
To say they didn’t hit it off would be an understatement; their exchange quickly escalated into an argument over what started as a simple act of kindness from Leana’s side but somehow got misconstrued along the way.
Feeling uncomfortable witnessing them clash right in front of me, I stepped between them and firmly told them both to cut it out before things spiraled further out of control.
My brother huffed away, looking dejected – almost resembling a sad puppy sulking after being scolded – leaving behind an awkward silence that lingered briefly until broken by Leana speaking up again.

With tensions diffused thanks to some intervention on my part earlier,
I finally introduced myself properly amidst all these chaotic events unfolding around us.
“Hey there! My name is Sky,”
I said, trying not to let any lingering discomfort show through while extending
a friendly smile toward Leana, hoping we can start anew without any more misunderstandings getting in our way.
She reciprocated warmly, introducing herself back “Nice meeting you, Sky!
The name’s Leana.”
Her curiosity piqued once again upon noticing something peculiar about
my appearance, which led down another rabbit hole conversation regarding hair color choices, age assumptions, etcetera.
Despite initial bumps along our path today, they eventually paved ways for new beginnings, blossoming friendship bonds, forming stronger than ever imagined possible given circumstances surrounding first impressions made during such tumultshared together thus far.
