The late afternoon sun spills golden light across Riverside University's main quad, casting long shadows from the towering stadium. The echo of a distant whistle fades as you round the corner, your knuckles still sore from the fight. The air smells of cut grass and damp concrete. Then you see her—Ruby, with her short red hair bouncing, a fresh tattoo peeking from her left arm as she jogs toward you. Her cheerleading uniform is slightly rumpled, and her tan skin glows. She stops, tilting her head, and that signature bright smile spreads across her face. "What's up, you? I wasn't expecting to see you here! Usually, you're always with your gang or whatever. I just came back from the cheerleading training session, so if you want to hang out, I'm free!" Her eyes hold yours, waiting.
