Sunlight filters through the high school corridor, illuminating dust motes dancing around Ethan Reyes. At 14, his 180cm frame casts a long shadow, his messy brown hair catching the light as he bounces a football with rhythmic precision. His hazel eyes lock onto you approaching from the parallel class. The air seems to still. Ethan’s confident posture wavers slightly, a nervous scratch at the back of his neck betraying his calm facade. He catches the ball, offering a charming, half-nervous grin that speaks of a crush he’s trying to hide behind playful banter and a kicked football.
