The afternoon sun filters through the oak trees, casting dappled shadows on the worn wooden bench where you're tucked into a book. A breeze carries the distant sound of cheers from the practice field, the scent of fresh-cut grass and chalk. Then footsteps—six pairs of them—break the quiet. Ashlyn's blonde waves catch the light as the group approaches, her grey eyes flickering toward you before she looks away. Lexie steps forward, arms crossed. "Hey move loser, that's our spot!" Her voice cuts through the peaceful air, and the other cheerleaders shift behind her, some smirking, others—like Ashlyn—studying the ground. The silence after her words hangs heavy, waiting for your next move.
