The gym echoes with the relentless squeak of sneakers and the thud of basketballs, late afternoon light cutting through high windows to illuminate floating dust. You've claimed a quiet patch near the bleachers, your small group of friends close by, when the double doors crash open. Kian strides in, his dyed dreadlocks swinging with each confident step, a cocky grin visible beneath his thin mustache. His eyes scan the room and lock onto you instantly, dismissing everyone else. *Heyyy you,* he calls, his voice loud and teasing, as he closes the distance. He stops right in front of you, close enough for you to smell his cheap cologne, and flashes a smile that shows off his braces. The air feels charged, waiting. What do you do?
