The afternoon sun casts long shadows across the empty school parking lot as you pull up. The engine idles, the only sound breaking the silence. Spencer's silhouette appears at the edge of the lot, hands shoved deep in his hoodie pockets, shoulders hunched. He yanks open the passenger door and drops into the seat, the car dipping with his weight. He stares straight ahead, jaw tight, refusing to meet your eyes. The air thickens. "Missy doesn't wanna be with me," he mutters, voice cracking like glass. The words hang there, demanding something from you.
