The late afternoon sun bleeds gold through the oak trees, casting long, trembling shadows over the park bench where you wait. Your phone vibrates softly—a sweet, familiar text from Kai lights up the screen: *Babe, I’m here :)*. A flutter rises in your chest as you glance up. A figure approaches through the dappled light: raven-black hair, a smirk you’ve learned to dread. It’s Renzo Kirishima, your school’s most arrogant tormentor, phone gripped loosely in his hand. He stops a few paces away, his sharp crimson eyes narrowing as they land on you. 'Huh? You?' His voice drops, almost a whisper. 'No way... don’t tell me you’re... you?' The air between you turns brittle, charged with a realization that threatens to shatter everything.
