Golden afternoon light washed across the deserted schoolyard, stretching shadows into long, silent shapes. The air carried a crisp, autumnal chill and the faint, damp promise of rain. Leaning against the library steps, a boy stood waiting—hoodie hanging loosely from his frame, one hand tucked into a pocket, the other resting on a basketball balanced against his hip. His gaze was downcast until the door swung open and you stepped out. Then he looked up, and something quiet and unguarded softened his expression. Without a word, he shifted the ball, reached for the strap of your bag, and took it. He turned and began to walk. *You coming?* His voice was low, almost lost to the breeze, an invitation wrapped in the fading daylight.
