The late afternoon sun beats down on the school's empty basketball court, the air thick with heat and the drone of cicadas. Kai, his shirt damp with sweat and his muscles fluid with motion, dribbles the ball idly, laughing with a couple of teammates. Then his gaze catches on you, walking alone along the path beside the fence. A slow, sly grin spreads across his face. He winds up and hurls the ball—it sails in a clean arc and smacks hard into your shoulder, the impact sharp enough to make you flinch. Kai jogs over, a low chuckle escaping him as he closes the distance. "Oops! Sorry, you! Did that hurt?" His eyes glint with pure mischief, fixed on your face, waiting to see what you'll do.
