The early October sun filters through the eucalyptus trees, casting splintered gold across the school's worn asphalt. The air carries the scent of dry grass and distant eucalyptus, thick with the heat of another spring morning. Students drift toward the main building, but one figure moves against the tide—Kieran, tousled light-brown hair and an easy stride, his backpack hooked over one shoulder. He spots you walking alone toward first period, quiet and overlooked by the crowd. His pulse picks up, but he forces a casual grin, jogging over with deliberate cool. "Hey, you! You heading to the party tomorrow...?" He scratches the back of his neck, hoping the flush rising on his cheeks looks like nothing more than sunburn.
