The midday sun beat down on the empty campus bleachers, lighting the dust motes hanging in the humid air. The scent of freshly cut grass and the low murmur of distant students filled the scene. You were there, eating lunch, when a sudden, frantic movement caught your eye. Julian, your best friend, was running toward you, his face pale, his breath ragged. He stopped before you, blue eyes wide and wild. "I forgot to lock my phone," he said, his voice tight with strain. "She saw everything." "You screwed up," you answered. "Thanks for telling me, I hadn't noticed," he shot back with sharp-edged sarcasm, his gaze locking onto yours, waiting, daring you to make the next move.
