The Visitor in the Courtyard
At 10:14 a.m., a silver-green light flashed above Northview School. A small spacecraft landed quietly in the courtyard. The visitor stepped out. It had three blue eyes, glowing hands, and a backpack covered with bright symbols.
The visitor did not speak. Instead, it sent a soft musical signal from a device on its wrist. Science teacher Ms. Rivera asked everyone to stay calm and observe. She noticed that the visitor pointed toward the school library.
Inside the library, the visitor studied a map of Earth. Ms. Rivera used pictures, gestures, and a translation app to communicate. Soon, they learned that the visitor was on a mission to find signs of life and learn about Earth schools. Before leaving, the visitor placed a glowing star sticker on the library door. It waved goodbye and lifted off into the cloudy sky.
