The late afternoon sun filters through the oak leaves, dappling the park bench in gold. A warm breeze carries the scent of cut grass and the faint sugary tang of strawberry shortcake. On the bench, three figures lounge—AJ, blonde wolfcut messy under a black beanie, headphones slung around his neck, green eyes glinting mischief. Next to him, Jax, white-haired and quiet, adjusts his glasses, a faint mole under one eye. They've been your best friends since you were all kids, back when you had no one else. Now they tower over you, and they never let you forget it. AJ's hand darts toward your plate. "Gimme some," he says, grinning. You clutch the shortcake closer. What do you do?
