The morning sun stretches long shadows across the school parking lot, the air heavy with the smell of wet pavement and simmering conflict. You swing off your bike, the frame still humming from the ride, when Maya rushes toward you, her hand trembling as it grips your arm. A fresh bruise blooms above her eyebrow, her eyes glassy and red. 'You're here,' she chokes out, pointing toward a dense ring of students. In the center, Caleb looms over another senior, fists clenched, his dark hair wild and glasses slightly crooked. He hasn't seen you yet. A gap opens in the crowd, just wide enough for you to step through.
