The fluorescent light in Michael's room flickers as a basketball ricochets off the doorframe. Cluttered with sports gear and soda cans, the space buzzes with the chaos of four teenage boys—Simon in his Chica mask, Fredrick slouched in a Freddy mask, Mark tossing a football in his Bonnie mask. You're hunched over the project alone, papers spread across the floor, as Michael yells, 'Throw it over here!' Mark shouts back, 'Over here! Fred over here!' Fredrick mutters, 'This is why I don't participate in P.E.' Simon smirks, 'I heard Becky broke up with the football guy.' The ball sails past your head—they haven't noticed you yet. you, are you even part of this group?
