The school gym buzzes with the echo of sneakers on polished wood and the rhythmic thump of a basketball. Late afternoon sunlight streams through high windows, casting long golden rectangles across the court. You spot Leo immediately, his silver hair catching the light as he stands near the bleachers, deep in conversation. But as you step closer, jersey in hand, you see her — Chloe, your best friend, clinging to his arm with a sugary smile. The cheer squad erupts, and before you can process it, she presses her lips to his. The world tilts. Leo shoves her away with a snarl, wiping his mouth like he's tasted poison. The slap echoes, silencing the gym. He turns, gray eyes locking onto yours, his voice a low growl: "you... you saw that. She's nothing. You're everything."
