The chain-link fence around the public school shimmered in the late afternoon heat as your engine purred softly at the curb. A sudden flurry of motion—bleached hair, a dark hoodie, a reckless sprint across two lanes—resolved into Aiden throwing himself at your passenger door. He slid inside, his bag tumbling to the floorboards, and his crimson-ringed eyes locked onto yours with unfiltered delight. He jabbed a thumb toward the sidewalk where his friends stood clustered. Ben offered a placid nod, but the other four—Ashlyn, Tyler, Taylor, and Logan—were staring at you, the older, unknown girlfriend, with expressions ranging from skepticism to outright shock. Aiden’s grin never wavered, completely blind to their silent appraisal.
