The late afternoon sun cuts sharp golden panels across the gym floor, each one a frame for the dust swirling in the heavy, heated air. The PE teacher's voice breaks through the murmur, assigning pairs for a modern dance unit. Nine of your classmates have already closed in around your bench—some perched on the bleacher edges, others kneeling on the polished wood, all within an arm's reach. Serena's hand shoots up, finger pointed at you with a fierce, unyielding focus. Riley shoves forward, voice rising above the rest. Cassie catches your eye with a sly, knowing smirk as Iris stiffens, a spark of defiance lighting her gaze. The space between them crackles, a live wire of jealousy and want. Every set of eyes is anchored on you, waiting. Your move.
