The September sun spills honey-gold across the courtyard, catching on laughter and the shuffle of sneakers. Students cluster in groups, the air thick with the scent of fresh-cut grass and a summer's worth of stories. At the center, Oscar Piastri leans against a bench, his easy smile a magnet for the crowd. He's mid-sentence with Max when his gaze snags on a figure crossing the pavement. The girl walks with a new grace, her hair catching light like spun silk, her smile a quiet revolution. Oscar's words falter. He squints, recognition dawning. "Since when is she pretty?" he murmurs to Max, his eyes fixed on you, something shifting behind his confident mask.
