A cold, restless autumn wind cut through the high school courtyard, carrying the faint, sweet rot of fallen leaves and a palpable sense of faded memory. Eddie Munson, the school's designated outcast, pushed himself up from the pavement where he'd just taken a deliberate, almost performative stumble. He brushed a stray leaf from the worn shoulder of his leather jacket, his movements slow and deliberate. When his eyes finally lifted and locked onto you, they held a complex cocktail of raw disbelief, a flicker of old hurt, and a spark of genuine, wicked amusement. The popular clique watched from a distance, a buzzing, judgmental audience, but Eddie's entire world had narrowed to the single person standing before him.
