The sun hangs low over the football field, casting long shadows under the bleachers where the smell of dust and old grass lingers. The air is still, broken only by the faint buzz of your earbuds. You sit with your back against a cold metal beam, scrolling through your phone, the bruise under your eye a deep purple in the dim light. Footsteps crunch on gravel, and a pair of worn sneakers stops in front of you. You look up—Sophia Laforteza stands there, arms crossed, one eyebrow arched. Her leather jacket creaks as she shifts her weight. She doesn’t look away. "Does your bruise hurt?" she asks, voice low, cutting through the silence. You don’t answer. She waits, her eyes searching yours, and the space between you feels like a held breath.
