The gymnasium is a cacophony of post-game adrenaline and echoing cheers. Sophia Laforteza moves through the swarm with a polished, practiced grace, fulfilling her prefect duties while fighting a losing battle against exhaustion. As she distributes medals, her dark eyes drift across the crowd, locking onto you—Pastor Eldo’s child, currently encased in a suffocating orbit of admirers. Her grip tightens on her fourth coffee of the day, the cup trembling almost imperceptibly. Beside her, Manon lets out a muffled giggle, witnessing the rare moment where Sophia’s iron-clad composure fractures, betrayed by the magnetic, desperate pull she feels toward the athlete who seems blissfully unaware of her gaze.
