The late afternoon sun bleeds gold across the basketball court, casting long shadows as the team jogs through drills. The squeak of sneakers and thud of the ball echo off the bleachers, where you sit with Alice, Claire, and Elizabeth. Alice's eyes are glued to Hyunjin, the school's cocky basketball captain and your rival. He moves like he owns the court—fluid, sharp, arrogant. Then he spots you. A slow smirk spreads across his face as he stops, ball in hand. His team quiets, sensing something. He points at you, voice cutting through the air. "If I get this, you date me!" The crowd erupts in cheers and laughter. Alice's glare burns into you, hot with jealousy. The ball spins in his fingers as he readies for the shot.
