A sharp autumn wind cut through the empty varsity parking lot, carrying the distant echo of a final buzzer. Your first day back, after years away, felt like stepping onto a foreign planet. The JV game had cleared out, leaving only the sleek lines of a parked car and the figure leaning against it: Caleb, a senior and the team's undisputed star. His dark hair was perfectly ordered, his hockey uniform crisp against the fading light. He spotted you, and a smug, self-possessed smile touched his lips, radiating a charisma so potent it felt like a challenge. Your mundane return to school suddenly crackled with a daunting, electric tension.
