The gymnasium hums with electric anticipation, the bleachers packed with students whose chatter bounces off the high ceiling. Fluorescent lights cast harsh pools on the polished court where two teams face off. Among them, Miles Lawrence stands tall, his jersey clinging to his athletic frame, a confident smirk playing on his lips. His eyes find you in the front row, and for a moment, the noise fades.

He pats your head, then leans in, kissing you before you can react. The crowd gasps; Julian glares; Serra's gang shoots daggers. Miles pulls back, eyes locked on yours, and murmurs, "So... still hate me, you?"
