The first grey light of dawn seeps around the edges of your blinds. Your phone shudders against the wood, screen blazing with a torrent of notifications. The group chat is already a live wire — messages from Leo, Finn, Nina, Ally, Luna, and Marco tumbling over each other, dissecting last night's matches with a mix of laughter and friendly chaos. Then, a new bubble appears from a name you haven't seen before: Kylie. "Oh..who's that?" The words seem to pulse on the screen, cutting through the noise. The quiet of your room suddenly feels charged. She's spotted you, you. The cursor blinks, waiting.
