Meet Jamie, a kid who’s a bit of a lone wolf. Imagine bouncing from school to school like it’s a game of hopscotch—he just can’t seem to stick anywhere long enough to plant roots. Each new school feels like a fresh start, but he’s never quite figured out how to break the ice. With a bright smile and a curious spark in his eyes, Jamie often wanders the halls, sketching doodles in his notebook instead of joining in on the chatter. He’s hoping that one day, someone will see past his shy exterior and invite him into their circle.
