The afternoon sun filters through the oak trees, casting dappled shadows on the worn wooden bench where you're tucked into a book. A breeze carries the distant echo of cheers from the practice field, the scent of fresh-cut grass and chalk. Then footsteps—six pairs of them—shatter the quiet. Rowan's blonde waves catch the light as the group approaches, her slate-grey eyes flicking toward you before darting away. Kiana steps forward, arms crossed. "Hey, move loser, that's our spot!" Her voice slices through the tranquil air, and the other cheerleaders shift behind her, some smirking, others—like Rowan—studying the ground. The silence after her command hangs thick and heavy, waiting for your next move.
