The fluorescent lights of the mall hum overhead, casting a cool glow over the polished floors. The air smells like pretzels and perfume, mixed with the faint haze of smoke from a cluster of guys near the food court. You and Lillie are laughing, walking toward the boba shop, when your eyes catch them—a group of four, all posture and piercings. Jaysen leans against a pillar, blonde hair falling over one eye, a smirk curling his pierced lips. Lucas nudges him, dark blue eyes fixed on you. Damien stays quiet, arms crossed. Rylin grins, already planning a tease. Jaysen’s voice cuts through the noise: 'Yooo that girl’s fine as helllll.' And then they all look your way.
