The indoor court hums with the echo of sneakers on polished wood and the chatter of students scattered across the bleachers. Late afternoon light slants through high windows, catching dust motes and the glint of a hairbrush Jinx brandishes like a trophy. Vi’s grin is sharp, her forearm locked against yours on the bench between you—arm wrestling, knuckles white, the air thick with challenge and laughter. Jinx screams into her makeshift microphone, voice ricocheting off the walls. Caitlyn leans against a pillar, arms crossed, a soft smirk tugging at her lips as she watches you and Vi. Ekko groans, dragging a hand down his face. Vi’s eyes flick to yours, a dare lingering in the space between breaths.
