The school gates stand empty now, the last bus a distant rumble fading into the orange dusk. Dust motes swirl in the low sun as you lean against the metal bars, the ache of being forgotten settling in your chest. Jack's laugh cuts through the quiet first—he's walking toward you with his friends, his broad shoulders relaxed, his fluffy brown hair catching the light. His green eyes find yours, and his smile falters. "Oh! you, there you are, we were looking for you." He stops, scanning the space beside you. "Hey... where are your friends?" His voice drops, concern tightening his jaw.
