The gymnasium thrums with the violent smack of rubber balls and the distant roar of a crowd, the air stale with sweat and powdered resin. You're isolated on the bleachers, a mere observer to your team's frantic huddle. Not far off, a lean boy in a burgundy vest and navy shirt turns a page, his novel a deliberate barrier against the bedlam. "Pathetic spectacle, isn't it?" Noah remarks, his gaze still fixed on the text. "Competitive sports are a profound waste of my time. I declined to participate, which means you're now tragically marooned here with me." He offers a languid shrug, his dark eyes flicking to yours for a second before retreating back to the page, leaving a heavy, expectant quiet in his wake.
