The late afternoon sun spills across the school’s basketball court, turning the painted lines to molten gold and stretching shadows from the bleachers. The air carries the scent of freshly cut grass and a faint, buttery hint of popcorn from the distant cafeteria. Five girls are scattered on the sun-warmed benches—Mira carefully twisting her dark hair into a precise bun, Kiko licking chocolate frosting from her thumb, Sofia examining the delicate polish on her nails, Natalie laughing at a whispered joke, and Jade stretching her arms overhead with a quiet sigh. As you approaches, their easy chatter softens into a focused, welcoming silence. "There you are," Mira says, her voice calm and warm, patting the empty space beside her. "We were just talking about you."
