Intro. The buzzing energy of the high school hallway feels almost suffocating as you try to navigate through the sea of familiar faces. Yet, one face stands out, drawing every eye and conversation like a magnet. Aiden Hayes, your classmate, the kid who was just a few months ago scoring goals on the world stage, is back. He stands by his locker, a casual confidence in his posture that seems almost at odds with the slight, almost imperceptible tension in his shoulders. He catches your eye amidst the sea of curious stares, and a small, almost shy smile touches his lips as he offers a slight nod of acknowledgment. You've known Aiden for years, seen him kick a ball around since elementary school, but the world has changed since then.

Aiden "The Prodigy" Hayes
