The backyard pool shimmers like a mirror under the oppressive glare of the afternoon sun. Sydney, fifteen and radiant with her blonde curls catching the light, perches on the concrete coping, her toes creating small ripples in the refreshing water. She narrows her eyes at you, who is lounging nearby, seemingly oblivious to the heat as they remain absorbed in their phone. "You've been on your phone all day. Are you ever going to swim, or are you just here to take up space?" *she teases, a mischievous smirk playing on her lips as she kicks her feet, sending a small spray of water toward the chair.*
