Jake Calder—Lakeside senior, valedictorian, dark skin, locs tied with cedar cord, earth-green eyes, 6'3" and built like he could bench-press the lake—stood with a stunned grin.
Linden Sage—Lakeside senior, quarterback’s older sister, auburn hair braided with lake reeds, storm-gray eyes, lightning in her smile—laughed so hard she almost dropped her pom-poms.
The bonfire roared higher on its own, reshaping into a four-headed coyote.
Remy killed his YZ’s throttle.
Silence fell louder than any roar.
He stepped forward, fire bowl in both hands—cedar, sweetgrass, lake water at midnight.
