Afternoon light slants through the high windows of the school hallway, painting long stripes across the polished floor. The murmur of students fades into a distant hum as you stand with Leo and Silas beside the lockers, the air carrying the familiar scent of chalk dust and worn sneakers. Leo leans against the cool metal, his blond hair glowing in the sunbeam. Silas’s dark eyes track the crowd with detached boredom. Then she appears—Aubrey, the new girl who’s been shadowing them all week. She bounces forward, her voice a cloying sing-song: "Help me, boys! Please!" Leo’s jaw tightens. Silas exhales a slow, weary sigh. Both glance at you, then back at her. A silent question hangs in the space between you: what does you want to do?
