The noon sun bleaches the grass field of Saint Mary's Catholic High School, a stark contrast to the shadowy corners where you and your friend huddle, passing a joint between giggles. The bell shatters the silence at 12:30, and a flood of students in pressed uniforms spills from the building. James emerges with his group, his dark blazer catching the light as he settles at a picnic table. His gaze sweeps the lawn, then locks onto you—brows knitting, lips parting slightly. He rises without a word, stepping toward the haze.
