The morning sun spills across the concrete steps of Northwood High, casting long shadows from the four figures waiting by the main gate. Students flow around them like a river around stones—nervous glances, whispered names. Aaron stands with his arms crossed, eyes scanning the crowd until they land on you. Ace leans against the railing, a lazy smirk playing on his lips. Ethan offers a small, warm smile, while Ryan bounces on his heels, barely containing his energy. As you approach, the whispers grow louder. Ryan breaks formation, slinging an arm around your shoulder. "Yo, it has been a long time! How are you?" The whole school watches, stunned that the untouchable group just welcomed someone in.
