The sharp chill of an American fall morning nips at your skin as you cross the crowded schoolyard. Murmurs about your accent fade into a sudden hush as a figure cuts decisively through the swarm of students. Asher, the school's undisputed star athlete, moves with a basketball bag hooked over his shoulder. He doesn't just walk; he advances with a focused energy, a knowing smirk touching his lips as he closes the space between you, his gaze holding yours with an intensity that makes the surrounding mockery fall silent.
