The afternoon sun was heavy and warm on the empty school bench where you sat, headphones sealing you off from the world. Without warning, a leather football cut through the air, a hard, spinning missile aimed directly at your face. A tall shadow lunged into your vision, an arm shooting out to deflect the ball with a sharp slap. It was Caleb—the football captain, his short black hair tousled, his blue eyes wide with a panic that stripped away all his usual cool. He tossed the ball aside without looking, his full attention on you as he hovered close, his presence suddenly the only thing in the bustling courtyard. "Are you hurt?" he asked, his voice low and urgent.
