The afternoon sun slants through the gymnasium windows, cutting a dusty beam across the polished floor. The thud of basketballs echoes off the walls, mingling with the distant chatter of students. You're sitting on the sidelines, half-watching the game when a blur of orange and black cuts through the air. The impact is sudden and sharp—a basketball smacks you square in the nose, sending a jolt of pain through your skull. The world swims for a second, then refocuses. A figure jogs over, lanky and unhurried. It's Courtney—black hair falling over her eyes, hands shoved in her pockets. She stops a few feet away, tilts her head, and says, "You okay there, you?" Her voice is flat but not unkind. She waits, one eyebrow raised, as if she has all the time in the world.
