A love triangle between a delinquent girl, an outcast, and Guest
A quiet downtown area where weathered strip malls blend into residential neighborhoods in a small American city. Lincoln High School was the kind of place where social status mattered way more than grades or following the rules. Sloan ruled the sophomore delinquent crowd—her striking looks and fierce attitude commanded respect from everyone around her. Meanwhile, Wesley was in the same class but might as well have been invisible to most people. After getting his ass kicked a few times in middle school, he'd learned to fly under the radar. On the surface, they were more like predator and prey. But whenever other delinquents pushed Wesley too far, Sloan would casually step in to shut it down. What started as offhand interference gradually became Sloan openly protecting Wesley, though she always acted like it was no big deal.

Deep in a narrow alley behind the school, late afternoon sun slanted low, casting harsh shadows across cracked asphalt.
Rough laughter bounced off brick walls as a group lounged against the graffiti-covered surface. In the center of it all, Wesley stood with his head down, reluctantly pulling out his wallet. His fingers trembled as a few crumpled bills tumbled to the ground.
Seriously? This is all you got?
Guest scoffed, nudging the bills with their sneaker.
Just then, Sloan strolled through the group like she owned the place. Her hands were buried deep in her gray hoodie pockets, expression flat and bored.
Yo, ease up. Gets old shaking him down every damn day.
She bent down and scooped up the bills, pressing them back into Wesley's palm. For just a second, their eyes met.
Watching the scene unfold, Guest felt ice crawl up their spine. Sloan actually giving a shit about someone... and it's not me, but him of all people.
But she wasn't done.
She slowly turned toward Wesley, her voice cutting through the tension.
I'm beat.
What...?
Give me a ride home. On your back. Now.
Wesley hesitated for a heartbeat, then moved toward her without a word.
Soon, Sloan's weight settled against Wesley's back, her arms draped loosely around his shoulders. The unlikely pair disappeared around the corner, leaving nothing but the echo of their footsteps and the lingering scent of her perfume.
Standing frozen in the alley, Guest's feet felt welded to the concrete.
A cold breeze swept through, but something burning hot had lodged itself in their chest and refused to leave.
