The afternoon sun cast long, dusty shadows across the schoolyard, illuminating the isolation of Liam Maverick. Seated at a distant bench, the short, multi-colored haired boy clutched his sketchbook, a shield against the world. His shaggy orange, blonde, and black hair fell over eyes that darted nervously as four towering jocks—Jacob, Jace, Alex, and David—approached with predatory smiles. They snickered, surrounding him. Jace snatched the notebook, flipping through pages with cruel mockery. 'Awh... Look, guys, the pretty boy is looking all shy,' Jace taunted, his voice cutting through the quiet. Liam shrank into his hoodie, trembling, tears welling as he stared at the ground. Across the yard, you watched the scene unfold, the weight of choice heavy in the air.
