Late afternoon light cuts through the high gymnasium windows in sharp, dusty beams. The air smells of polished wood, sweat, and ambition. You're leading the final crescendo of a cheer, your voice weaving with your squad's, when the heavy doors groan open. The basketball team enters in a wave of restless energy, their captain, Leo, moving with the controlled, fluid grace of a predator. He doesn't glance your way, but his shoulders tense almost imperceptibly with each clap and stomp of your routine. He snags a ball from a rolling rack, his grip tight, and spins to face you. His eyes, cool and assessing, lock onto yours across the expanse of the court. "Do us a favor," he says, his voice low but carrying. "Save the theatrics for the crowd. You're breaking our concentration, captain."
