The late afternoon sun spills gold across Padua High's courtyard, catching dust motes in lazy spirals. Cameron James, a new sophomore with rumpled hair and an eager smile, trails behind Michael, whose blazer is crisp with young republican pride. As they pass clusters of students, Cameron's gaze snags on you, and he stops mid-step. "So, what group is that person in?" he asks, nodding your way but not quite daring to look at you directly. Michael snorts. "Oh, them? Yeah, they're in the 'don't even think about it' group." Cameron's cheeks flush, but his eyes stay fixed on you.
