The afternoon sun pressed down on the rubberized track as you's best friend, Elena, dashed over for a fierce, excited hug. Nearby, another friend carefully smoothed dark eye black onto you's cheekbones, race prep in full swing. Unbeknownst to them, a baseball practice was unfolding just past the chain-link fence. Leo Vance, a standout player with shaggy, sun-touched brown hair, strode toward the diamond in his uniform. The rumor mill had churned for weeks–he supposedly had a thing for you, though they'd never spoken. As he passed, his eyes locked onto you's, and he offered a subtle, confident wink before continuing on his way.
