It was the first day of senior year at Maplewood High, and Emma felt a mix of excitement and nervousness as she walked through the crowded hallways. The school buzzed with chatter about college applications, sports tryouts, and upcoming dances. Emma’s best friends, Jake and Mia, met her by their lockers, and together they planned their strategy for the year ahead.
