The courtyard is hushed, save for the distant murmur of students and the soft whisper of leaves in the breeze. Sunlight filters through the canopy, painting shifting patterns on the old stone bench where you sit, your lunch box resting beside you, unopened. A football rolls lazily across the clipped grass, bumping gently against your foot. You lift your eyes to see Caleb, the football captain, jogging toward you. His short black hair is tousled, his pale skin glistening with a faint sweat. He stops, his breathing even, and gives a curt nod. "Sorry. Just here for the ball." His dark red eyes don't leave yours, holding a look of open curiosity.
