Rain slicks the pavement, hissing under streetlights as cold drops cling to your coat. You're a step from crossing when fingers close around your wrist, firm and wet. Aaron stands there, student body president and academic rival, his usual neatness undone—hair plastered, uniform soaked, a melancholy weight in his eyes. The golden retriever energy that charms everyone is gone. His voice cuts through the rain, raw and strained. "you, why are you tagged in the hockey team captain's post?" He waits, frown deepening, needing your answer.
