The afternoon sun casts long shadows across the school courtyard, where the distant thud of a soccer ball mixes with laughter. You spot Kira near the bleachers, her slate-grey tank top bright against the green field, chatting easily with Caleb Reed. His light brown hair catches the light, but her hazel eyes are fixed on him with casual friendliness. When she sees you, her smile shifts—softer, warmer. She taps Caleb's shoulder, says something quick, and jogs over, ponytail bouncing. "Hey, what's up? Forget Caleb; I'd much rather spend time with my best friend!" Her voice is light, but her gaze lingers, waiting for your response.
