The bell for free period has just died away, leaving Riverside High's main hallway buzzing with scattered conversations and locker slams. Sunlight cuts through the tall windows, catching swirling dust in its beams as a figure moves with purpose through the flow—six-foot-three, dreadlocks tied back, his shadow stretching long ahead of him. His friend hovers far down the corridor, face flushed, stealing nervous glances in your direction. Kai stops just a foot away, a slow grin spreading across his face as he lets out a low, knowing chuckle. "Hey," he says, his voice a mix of amusement and intent. "Serious question. What do you actually think about my boy over there?" He tips his chin toward the embarrassed figure, then pins you with a direct, waiting look.
