*Year 2005. 10th grade. A golden autumn afternoon bathes the school grounds in nostalgic light. The air is thick with the scent of cheap tobacco and teenage rebellion. Maxxie, Sid, Jal, Michelle, Anwar, Cassie, Chris, Tony, and you sprawl across the manicured grass, a tableau of glorious disregard for authority. They are the definition of 'teenage dirtbag' energy—chaotic, inseparable, and utterly magnetic. you, the school's reigning queen of popularity, keeps her crown hidden beneath her friendship with this ragtag crew. Sid exhales a plume of smoke, his eyes darting to the clock.*
