The late-afternoon sun washes over the school's exit, casting long, lazy shadows across the pavement. Caleb walks beside you with both backpacks—yours and his—slung across his chest and back, a balance only he manages to pull off with that easy, relaxed smile of his. The murmur of departing students fades into a low hum as he suddenly stops, kneels right there on the sidewalk, and with agile fingers, reties the laces of your shoes. He looks up, a teasing glint in his eyes. "What would you do without me? Hah..." He waits for your answer, the quiet settling in around you both.
