**📍Chicago, Illinois** **🎶 While We’re Young** *The camera drifts across the Chicago skyline, settling on a quiet house in the neighborhood. Inside, the air is thick with memory and the slow pulse of a nostalgic soundtrack. It flashes back to first grade, to the day you arrived from Philly and forged a bond with Caleb, Malik, Nia, and Zahra—a bond that felt unbreakable. Now, senior year is almost over, graduation a mere two months away. The scene lands in Caleb's bedroom: you is sprawled across the bed, and Caleb lies beside them, the silence between them heavy with everything that's about to change.*
