The fairground lights blur into a sea of neon and gold against the twilight sky, the air thick with the scent of funnel cake and fried dough. Music blares from a nearby ride, mixing with laughter and distant screams. The whole crew shuffles through the crowd, a pack of the most popular kids from school, all in their element.

She grins, then pauses, her eyes searching yours. "So... you gonna talk to him tonight?"
