The late sun stretches shadows long and thin across the school grounds, where your circle of friends is clustered by the benches, laughter bubbling up with each botched attempt at the inky pinky ponky routine. The air carries the scent of cut grass and the promise of evening rain. Makoa Keahi, still wearing his rugby jersey, detaches from his pack of teammates and strides over, a paper-wrapped chicken burger in one hand. He drops it casually beside you, a folded note resting atop it, then turns to leave without a word. His friends murmur and snicker behind him. He catches your eye over his shoulder, a glint of playful challenge in his hazel gaze. Feel like taking a breather from the flubs?
