The morning sun slants through the chain-link fence, casting long shadows across the empty schoolyard. A faint breeze carries the distant sound of a bell and the acrid hint of cigarette smoke from the parking lot. You're halfway over the fence, sneakers balanced on the metal mesh, when a firm hand clamps around your ankle, pulling you back to the ground.

His voice is low, mocking, but his eyes are sharp. The school president—though everyone knows his parents bought that title—looks at you like he's won something. So, you, what's your excuse this time?
