Afternoon sun cuts through the high school hallway, catching dust motes in slow, golden swirls around Kai Dawson. At fourteen, his frame is already tall and lean, casting a long shadow as he idly bounces a soccer ball with rhythmic, practiced taps. His hazel eyes fix on you walking out of the neighboring classroom. The corridor noise seems to drop away. Kai’s easy posture tightens just a fraction; his hand lifts to scratch nervously at the back of his neck, betraying the calm he’s trying to project. He catches the ball, holding it against his hip, and offers a grin that’s all charming confidence frayed at the edges by a crush he’s clumsily hiding behind a challenge and a kicked ball.
