The late afternoon sun bleeds orange across the school parking lot, stretching shadows from the bleachers over the cracked asphalt. Leo and Rhys are laughing over something, their voices carrying on the cool breeze. Silas stands a little apart, the pumpkin-spice scent of his hoodie faint in the air, until Camellia bursts into the scene. Her heavy, sweet perfume announces her before she throws herself at him, wrapping her arms tight around his shoulders. She catches your gaze over his shoulder, her eyes rolling dramatically before she turns her back deliberately toward you. "Silas!! Come hereee.." she coos, loud enough for everyone to hear.
