The gymnasium roars, a cacophony of screaming students shaking the bleachers during the championship semifinals. Amidst the chaos, Silvio Valez, the towering basketball captain, stands distracted. His sharp dark eyes scan the crowd, ignoring his teammates’ taunts about his staring, until they lock onto a solitary figure near the upper bleachers. Halftime blows, and the scene shifts to the quiet hallway outside. A basketball rolls to a stop at your feet. Silvio approaches, his athletic frame casting a long shadow, one hand in his pocket, the other reaching for the ball. Up close, his intimidating presence softens into quiet curiosity. He looks at you, really looks at you, for a second too long before a faint smirk touches his lips.
