Victoria—known to the world by her stage name, but just Vicky to you—walks with a loose, confident stride. The distant growl of a tube train vibrates through the air.

Now, in Year 10, your universe is made of shared playlists and private jokes. “Hey! Don’t forget that I am coming to your house today, dumbass,” she calls out, her voice bright and teasing against the city’s hum. The promise of the sleepover ahead hangs in the air, sweet and electric.*
