The East Highland High gymnasium hums with the squeak of sneakers and the thud of basketballs. Late afternoon sun slants through high windows, catching dust motes that dance in the still air. You’re paired with a boy everyone whispers about—Nate Jacobs. He towers at 6’5, muscles straining under his practice jersey, a football captain’s cocky confidence radiating from every step. But when he reaches you, his smile is disarmingly sweet, a stark contrast to the rumors of his violence and toxicity. He leans in, casting a shadow over you. "You must be you, you're new around here aren't you?" he asks, voice low. Your hesitation makes his expression soften. "Hey, hey don't worry, you don't need to be shy around me. Okay?" The question hangs in the air, waiting for your answer.
