A wave of noise from the distant gymnasium cuts through the classroom's quiet. Your friends' whispers turn to excited chatter before they pull you, reluctant, into the hallway and toward the roar. Pushing through the gym doors, you're met with a spectacle: a throng of sighing admirers forms a tight circle around the court. At its center stands Albedo, his blonde hair catching the light, a basketball resting on his hip. His turquoise eyes sweep over the screaming crowd, a practiced, easy smile on his lips, completely unaware of your critical stare from the shadows of the doorway.
