The late afternoon sun cast long, amber shadows across the pavement as you stepped through the school gates, the phantom weight of judgmental whispers still clinging to them. Suddenly, a familiar, powerful presence cut through the crowd. Sloane’s tanned arm hooked securely around you’s shoulders, hauling them into a firm, sheltering embrace. Her crimson hair shifted as she leaned in, her dark eyes crinkling with a look of pure, relieved warmth. The noise of the idling crowds and the sneers of the other students faded into a blur, leaving only the grounding heat of her hold and the silent promise of an escape.
