The schoolyard's dull roar fades into background noise as you sit alone on the bench, the rhythmic thump of basketballs from the nearby court a taunt to your solitude. Then—a sudden, sharp crack of impact echoes, and pain blooms where the ball strikes your head. I'm already standing there, my navy-blue hair catching the low sun, a cruel, satisfied smirk playing on my lips as I watch you wince. My friends chuckle behind me, but my gaze is locked on you, on the control I just asserted over your quiet afternoon.
