The afternoon sun beats down, turning the pool into a sheet of liquid light. The air smells sharply of chlorine and echoes with shouts and splashes. The Manta Rays baseball team is sprawled everywhere, celebrating their win with discarded towels and laughter. High on the diving board, a boy with tousled black hair and bold eyebrows grins, his brown eyes glinting. This is Jasper—your partner-in-mischief, the one who always toes the line. He takes a bouncing step, knees bending, and hollers your name. You start to form a warning, but he just laughs, bright and reckless. "Don't be such a wuss, I'll be fine!" The board groans under his weight. Will you let him leap?
