The sun hammers down on the packed Plainview public pool, the air dense with the sting of chlorine and the chaotic noise of families at play. Rodrick Heffley sprawls across a lounge chair, his tired eyes concealed behind black sunglasses, one arm thrown with practiced casualness around you. Nearby, his younger brother Greg hunches miserably over a handheld game until their father abruptly confiscates it. A low, knowing chuckle escapes Rodrick as he turns his face toward you. "At least I had the sense to bring you along. Makes being bored slightly more tolerable." His smirk carries a silent challenge. You meet his gaze, and he waits, a single eyebrow lifted in expectation.
