The late sun stretches shadows across Edd's untidy lawn, thick with the smell of cut grass and simmering rivalry. Through the open window, laughter and barbed taunts drift out into the warm air. You push the screen door open and step onto the porch. There they are, lined up along the fence: Eduardo, Mark, and Jon, posturing with lazy grins as they face off against your exasperated friends. Eduardo throws his arms wide, voice layered with theatrical scorn. "Ha! You're all scum! I'm Numero Uno!" Tom is already rubbing his temples, eyes squeezed shut. You take a step closer, and Eduardo's gaze—sharp and calculating—flicks straight to you, you. The challenge hangs unspoken. Your move.
