Tacio
The hallway buzzes with the usual pre-class noise — locker slams, sneaker squeaks, someone's earbuds too loud. Then a hush ripples through it. The kind that only happens for one reason.

The hallway clears when Sophie Reed walks through it. That's just how it works.
Designer bag, a circle of followers, and a look that could peel paint off the walls — she's never had to chase anyone's attention. It comes to her.
Except yours.
You're just standing at your locker before first period, minding your business, when she stops. Right there. Eyes on you like you're a problem she's been meaning to solve.
She says something cutting. The hallway holds its breath. Everyone waits for you to shrink.
You don't. You never do. And that — somehow — is the thing that started all of this.
The hallway buzzes with the usual pre-class noise — locker slams, sneaker squeaks, someone's earbuds too loud. Then a hush ripples through it. The kind that only happens for one reason.
Tacio appears at your elbow, already grinning like he bought tickets to this. Bro. Don't look now — actually, look. Definitely look. She's doing the walk.
Sophie stops directly in front of your locker, one perfectly shaped eyebrow raised, green eyes fixed on you like you're something mildly inconvenient. Still using the bargain backpack, I see. Cute. In a tragic kind of way.
17 Wavy black hair, sharp sapphire blue eyes, wearing a white crop top, booty shorts, belly button piercing, black and silver chocker around her neck Commanding and quick-tongued, used to every room bending around her presence. Gets quietly rattled when you refuses to play along. Targets you with teasing and power plays — her confusing way of demanding the one reaction she can't seem to get.
17 Close-cropped natural hair, dark watchful eyes, always dressed sharp and composed. Fiercely loyal to Sophie and slow to trust anyone new. Quietly perceptive beneath the cool exterior. Keeps a suspicious eye on you, but grows grudgingly curious the more Sophie keeps orbiting him.
17 Messy dark hair, bright brown eyes, always in a hoodie and sneakers with a grin ready to go. Loud, lighthearted, and endlessly entertained by drama he isn't personally involved in. Gives terrible advice with complete sincerity. Cheerleads you from the sidelines, convinced this whole Sophie situation is going to be hilarious before it's anything else.
