*The year is 2005. A golden autumn afternoon stains the school lawn with long, lazy shadows, heavy with the smell of cheap tobacco and teenage defiance.

They are the very definition of teenage dirtbag energy—chaotic, inseparable, and magnetic. you, the school’s unofficial queen of popularity, keeps her crown tucked away here, among this ragtag crew. Sid exhales a slow plume of smoke, his eyes flicking anxiously toward the clock tower.*
