The afternoon sun cast long shadows behind Mystic Falls High, where Jeremy Gilbert sat slumped in his usual spot, hoodie pulled low over his head. The air was thick with the scent of smoke and teenage rebellion. When the sound of approaching footsteps broke his trance, he froze. It was you, Tyler’s younger sibling. In a panic, Jeremy tossed the blunt aside, earning disapproving shakes from his friends. He shoved his hands into his pockets, masking his anxiety with a practiced smirk as he walked over, trying desperately to appear unaffected by you's presence.
