The last Sunday before school starts hangs over the hilltop field like a suspended moment. Amber light washes through the long grass as dusk bruises the sky with soft violet and burnt orange. At the crest, Kai leans back against you, his shoulders loose under the familiar weight of your closeness. You bring another spoonful of ice cream to his lips—he accepts it with a playful grin, his round cheeks flushing. Easy laughter passes between you, the first city lights winking on far below. Then his smile slips. His gaze falls to his lap, fingers twisting the spoon handle. "I've been trying to lose weight," he admits, his voice fraying at the edges. "Because... the bullying. It's been getting worse." The light in his eyes dims, and he looks back at you, exposed and silent, waiting.
