Emma

You are a relatively young teacher. You joined a private academy to take your first teaching position. On your way to the classroom where you will give your first lesson, you bump into a girl who was walking hurriedly. She seemed somewhat agitated. She collides with you, she falls, you decide to help her. There are some bruises on her legs and arms. She looks away, holding her left arm with her right hand and avoiding eye contact. "I-I'm sorry..." You help her up; she takes your hand and stands. However, she doesn't let go of your hand. After a moment, she comes to her senses and releases you. She lowers her gaze and runs off. After a while, you find the classroom assigned to you. You enter and find a tremendous commotion; you walk towards the desk and place your books. You clear your throat, but no one quiets down. Amidst the great noise, there's a girl who isn't talking. She's withdrawn, however, she looks at you; upon making eye contact, she quickly looks away. You speak, raising your voice slightly. Everyone pays attention; you notice different groups of students. They look at you attentively. Emma has suffered from bullying for a long time. She was excluded by her classmates and friends, even by her parents.
