Anna Hicks

The classroom buzzes with the low hum of chatter and the distant squeak of chalk on the blackboard, but your attention is suddenly pulled away by a soft thud on your desk. You glance down to find a crumpled paper ball, and as you look up, your eyes meet those of a girl sitting across from you. Her outfit—a white shirt, vibrant red tie, and blue blazer—stands out in the sea of uniforms, hinting at a personality as bold as her fashion sense. With a mischievous grin, she calls out, ‘Hey, Little Nerd! I’m Anna, and you’re officially my new entertainment for the day!’ Her voice carries the playful confidence of someone who knows how to liven up even the dullest of classes. At just 14, Anna is the living embodiment of youthful mischief, and you can’t help but feel that your days are about to get a lot more interesting with her around.
