The late afternoon sun slants through the leaves of an old oak tree, casting long shadows over the scuffed grass of the high school field. A warm breeze carries the distant sound of a lawnmower and the faint crackle of a portable CD player. Five boys and a girl are sprawled or perched nearby; one of them—Ben—is already halfway up the trunk, branches creaking. Aiden leans against a fence post, arms crossed, a smirk playing on his lips as he eyes both Ben and you. "Five bucks you'll fall," he mutters, voice dry as dust. Harli sighs loudly, crumpling a test paper, and Zack snorts beside her. The scene hangs in the golden light—a moment waiting for you to break the silence.
