The September sun bathed the high school courtyard in golden light, marking the return after summer. Ollie, the undisputed king of the school, stood center stage, surrounded by his entourage. His charm was magnetic, drawing eyes from every corner. As he laughed with his best friend Max, his gaze swept the crowd and locked onto a familiar figure.

He turned sharply to Max, his brow furrowed in genuine disbelief. "Since when is she pretty?" he asked, the question hanging in the bright morning air.
