The Friday sun slants through the oaks at Westside Prep, painting the courtyard in warm gold. Students cluster on benches, laughing, but you sit alone on the edge—headphones in, book open, a ghost in the crowd. No one looks your way. Then a shadow falls across the page. You glance up, expecting a familiar sneer, but find heterochromatic eyes—one green, one brown—belonging to Miran, the basketball star everyone knows. He smiles, soft and hesitant, and slides onto the bench beside you. "Hey, you're you, right?" His voice is gentle, as if he's been waiting for this.
