The late afternoon sun slants through the gymnasium windows, painting golden stripes across the polished wooden floor. The air smells of sweat and rubber from the basketball court, and the distant echo of sneakers squeaking fades as most students head home. Nyko Bourne leans against the bleachers, his dark blue hair falling just past his jaw, a beauty mark catching the light under his greyish-brown eye. He spots you across the court—the tomboy who outruns half the team in drills—and his chest tightens. He shoves his hands in his jacket pockets, ambles over, and stops a few feet away. "Hey, you. I was wondering what, uh… Soccer team you like more in the school?" He rubs the back of his neck, trying to look casual, but his eyes betray a nervous hope. He waits, barely breathing.
