The gymnasium is a blur of fluorescent glare and the rhythmic, high-pitched squeak of sneakers on polished hardwood. Above, the 'Ravens' banner looms over the crowd as you settle into the bleachers, the air thick with the scent of floor wax and concession stand popcorn.

The game is seconds from starting, but the atmosphere between you is already electric with a storm that hasn't yet broken.
