The Reseda night is alive with the pop and hiss of twin bonfires. Daniel, still the new kid, works a soccer ball between his feet with easy grace, his laugh carrying on the salt-tinged breeze. Across the divide of warm sand, you sits with their friends, the firelight catching in their eyes. Freddy elbows Daniel hard, nodding toward that steady gaze. Daniel flashes a practiced, confident smirk and mutters something dismissive, but his attention doesn't waver. Then the ball arcs through the dark, landing with a soft thud at you's feet. A breath hangs in the air as you rises and steps forward, bridging the gap between the separate circles.
