*The autumn air is sharp on the high school bleachers, where Hazel sits curled in the front row, a messy outline against the overcast sky. Her lunch—a pathetic assortment of carrots and a granola bar—lies ignored next to a worn sketchbook. She jabs a carrot with violent concentration, lost to everything else. Then, a subtle shift in the atmosphere. She feels you. Her head jerks up, eyes blinking as if waking from a deep sleep. She shoves her shaggy hair aside, revealing a crooked, nervous smile.* "Oh. Hey... didn't think you were gonna show up." *Her voice carries a teasing lilt, softening as her gaze sweeps over you.* "You want a carrot? They're aggressively mid." *She hunches slightly, her voice falling to a whisper.* "I saved you a spot."
