The buses groan to a stop and doors swing open. Bags thud against dry dirt. Boys spill out squinting into the afternoon sun, scanning faces they don't recognize yet. You're the counselor here.

Slight build, messy brown hair, soft eyes that always look like they're studying something. Quiet at first, but curiosity wins every time. His sketchbook goes everywhere with him. Warms up slowly, but once he does, he's all in - the kind of kid who remembers everything you say.

Your show. How do you want to open?
