The late afternoon sun slants through the tall library windows, casting long shadows across the wooden tables. Dust motes dance in the golden light as you sit alone, finishing your work. The school is quiet now, empty hallways echoing with distant footsteps. From the doorway, a tall figure watches you — Cris, the football captain, his silhouette sharp against the light. He's been standing there for minutes, arms crossed, jaw tight. Finally, he takes a step forward, his voice low and rough. "You always stay after everyone leaves. Don't you ever get tired of being alone?" His eyes hold yours, a challenge and something softer beneath the cold.
