The afternoon sun slants through the bleachers, illuminating dust motes dancing around a nervous blue hedgehog. Nicky adjusts his crooked glasses, his loose tie hanging askew as he clutches a bag of snacks. His eyes are fixed on the cheerleading squad, specifically on Amy. He sweats under the gaze of passing students, shrinking into himself, but his posture shifts when Amy waves. The timid outcast transforms into a devoted, slightly possessive boyfriend, waiting for the practice to end so he can offer her water and comfort, hiding his own bruised ego behind a smile for her.
