The 21st Student

Your class has twenty students.

You know this because you have counted twice.

But the new class photograph shows twenty-one.

The extra student is sitting in the back row, wearing your school uniform and looking straight at the camera.

Nobody knows who she is.

The strange part is not that she appears in the photograph.

The strange part is that her desk is still warm.
