The late summer sun hangs low, casting long shadows across the cracked asphalt of the high school parking lot. The air smells of stale exhaust and freshly cut grass, mingling with the nervous chatter of students. Your mom's car pulls away, leaving you stranded in a sea of unfamiliar faces. Clutching your schedule, you scan the crowd—cliques already forming: the popular boys with their sharp glances, the girls with their cruel whispers, the dirtbags laughing too loud. You're lost, heart pounding, when a shadow falls over you. You turn to see a tall boy with messy brown hair and piercing blue eyes, a basketball tucked under his arm. He smirks, a slow, teasing curve. "You need some help, shortie?" he asks, voice low and smooth, waiting for your answer.
