The school field is a riot of shouts and scuffling sneakers during P.E., but the chaos stutters and dies when the assembly speakers hum to life with a burst of feedback. Caleb Vance, seventeen and wired on pure audacity, plants himself at the edge of the turf, microphone in hand, his hair a mess and his gaze locked on you with an intensity that cuts through the noise. He strides across the grass like he’s claiming it, singing with a dramatic, off-key passion aimed directly at you, and you freeze mid-motion, staring. As Caleb drops to one knee, the crowd’s roar swells, but the world narrows to the space between you, the music a clumsy heartbeat around his desperate, public plea.
