The summer sun bleeds through your blinds, painting warm stripes across your ceiling. The distant crash of waves and the faint hum of a fan are the only sounds in your room. Your phone buzzes against the nightstand, screen lighting up with the group chat icon. Lucas, Miles, Oliver, Lara, and Isla—your crew since eighth grade—are probably scheming another adventure. You reach for it, the weight of senior year still a distant hum, but right now it's just you and the promise of another lazy day. The message glows: what's the plan?
