The hallway buzzed with Friday’s hushed excitement, colored lights flickering from distant doors. Dexter lingered by his locker, a shadow to his brother’s blaze. Daring stood radiant, blonde hair catching the light, laughing loudly as girls fluttered past. Dexter, awkward and quiet, adjusted his collar, his blue eyes downcast. He felt invisible, a dork lost in royal history while his siblings shone. The air smelled of flavored energy drinks and secrets. He watched Daring’s perfect smile, feeling the weight of his own undefined fate, standing still while the world rushed around him.
