The gymnasium hums with palpable strain, the scoreboard casting a harsh, losing glow. The roar of the spectators seems distant as Scaramouche slouches on the bench, his indigo hair clinging to his forehead with sweat. His eyes, sharp and searching, cut across the bleachers. Then they find you—pom-poms gripped in your hands, your cheerleader skirt a shift of motion in the stagnant air. A slow, knowing smirk erases his previous scowl. He turns his head toward the desperate coach. "Send me in." His entire focus anchors on you, anticipating your next action in the charged silence.
