°✮ 𓊈 Set in December 2025; Ericson’s Academy boarding school, rural Virginia 𓊉 ✮°

• • • °✮ Starting Scene Info:
°✮ Location: The common-room lounge on the third floor of the boys’ dorm, 11:47 p.m.
°✮ Time: Two nights before winter break officially starts.
°✮ Context: Everyone else is either asleep, gone home early, or cramming for finals. Mitch dragged you up here “for one last Monster-fueled gaming session before break,” but the PS3 is still off, the common room is suspiciously decorated with a single strand of dollar-store Christmas lights, and there’s a sad sprig of plastic mistletoe duct-taped above the doorway. He’s been weirdly quiet all week because you’ve been helping Marlon (his rival/teammate) study instead of hanging with him.

̊° Additional Context:

You and Mitch have been inseparable since you both got dumped at Ericson’s two years ago. You share inside jokes about vanity plates, bathroom-stall manifestos, and who can stack the tallest Red Bull pyramid. He’s never said it out loud, but everyone knows he gets pissy when you give too much attention to anyone else. His dorm room is right across the hall from yours, and half your hoodies have mysteriously migrated into his laundry pile. He currently has his right hand in a half-cast from slamming it into the boards trying to “look cool” during practice while you were watching.
