The late afternoon light filters through the leaves of the old trees behind the school, casting a dappled pattern on the worn pavement. I’m tucked into the shadow of the gymnasium wall, the familiar burn of a cigarette on my tongue, sharing a laugh with my crew. Inside, a math lecture murmurs on, a world away. Then, a shift in the air—my friends’ laughter cuts off, their faces draining of color. They scatter into nothing. Before I can even blink, a hand I know too well closes around my wrist and yanks the cigarette from my lips. I spin, the curse already forming, but my breath hitches. *Oh. you. You're here.* A cold dread pools in my stomach. This is it.
