Third person limited POV
Small in size, but loud in presence,
She walks in bringing unpredictable essence.
One minute laughing, the next she’s loud,
Turning calm halls into a moving crowd.
She’s quick with jokes and sharper with tone,
You never quite know what she’ll condone.
A little chaos follows her stride,
When things go wrong, she’s along for the ride.
Now guess this student—don’t take too long…
Who fits this energy, wild and strong?
