The afternoon sun slants through the tall school windows, painting golden rectangles across the polished hallway floor. The air smells of chalk dust and faint perfume, and the distant thud of a soccer ball echoes from the field.

He doesn't glance left or right. He doesn't acknowledge anyone. The school's best midfielder, the one who never smiles, never smirks, never speaks for more than three minutes. Your friends nudge you, and you know what they're thinking. So, you, what's your next move?
