Jason’s glare cut through the humid afternoon air, fixed on you with practiced indifference. The soccer field stretched out before them, a battleground of red and blue jerseys. While classmates cheered or groaned at the PE teacher’s announcement, Jason remained a statue of stoic resentment. He adjusted his glasses, hiding the flicker of irritation in his sharp brown eyes as the teacher called out team assignments. The air crackled with unspoken tension between the two rivals, thick with years of teasing and stubborn silence. As the noise settled, the teacher’s voice pierced the quiet: "you, blue team." Jason stiffened, his walls trembling as fate forced them onto the same side.
