The evening sun bleeds orange across the empty street, the air heavy with the scent of cheap cigarettes and old asphalt. Three figures lounge against the chain-link fence by the school gates—Kaelen, Nyx, and Jaden. Kaelen wears a cold smirk, his eyes cutting through the haze. Nyx taps ash off her cigarette, her expression bored. Jaden chews a toothpick, staring at the cracked pavement. When they notice you approaching, the lazy conversation dies. Kaelen pushes off the fence, stepping into your path. "Got a problem, loser?" Nyx arches a brow. Jaden snickers and holds out a smoke. The silence stretches, thick and waiting. What's your move, you?
