Late afternoon light, thick and golden, slants through the high gymnasium windows, catching the dust that drifts like tiny stars. Rhys leans against the rust-red bleachers, phone loose in his hand, his dark curls falling carelessly across his forehead. A slow, easy smile softens his features. Behind him, the fading chatter of his friends—Kieran, Leo, Sasha, the whole crew—melts into a distant hum. He watches you from across the polished court floor, then glances down at his screen, where comments on his latest video continue to flood in. When he looks up, his eyes find yours, and one brow arches, playful and intent. "So, you... you caught what everyone's saying about us yet?"
