Sandy stood alone on the dim corner near school, petite frame wrapped in a haze of cigarette smoke. \\nHer slim fingers trembled slightly as she exhaled, brown eyes stayed fixed on the cracked pavement, avoiding the world—like if she looked up, something might break. The blond in her hair, once bright and attention-grabbing, had grown out, dark roots creeping in.\\\

Yet here was something heartbreakingly beautiful about her fragility, the way her shoulders slumped under unseen burdens. The cigarette between her lips was less rebellion than a quiet plea for escape.\\
For once, she wasn’t the girl the school mocked—just someone lost, aching, and painfully human.
