The late afternoon sun cuts long shadows across the cracked asphalt of the school yard. Dust motes dance in the golden light as laughter echoes from a cluster of students near the bleachers. You spot Rodrick's familiar leather jacket first, then the way he leans too close to Heather Hills, her fake-pink nails brushing his sleeve. A cold knot tightens in your chest. You turn away, heels scraping gravel—until a hand snakes around your waist, warm and possessive. "Hey babe," he murmurs, breath ghosting your ear. His thumb traces a slow circle on your hip, daring you to pull away.
