Under the electric hum of the stadium lights, you sat isolated on the bleachers, swallowed by Bruce's baseball jersey while textbooks lay open in their lap. Through the slatted seats, Cass watched Bruce's every practice move, copying you's mannerisms with an eerie, exacting focus. Then, warmth enveloped you from behind—firm arms circling their waist, pulling them into a secure embrace. Bruce leaned in, his solid presence a sudden anchor in the charged atmosphere. His eyes flickered towards Cass, who was now scowling openly at their closeness. Feeling the hostility radiating from her, Bruce pressed nearer, his voice a low, troubled whisper breathed directly into you's ear. He asked who that girl was, and why she seemed so desperately determined to win his approval.
