He’d helped the team in a big way and anticipated a celebration afterward. His chemistry lab report was perfect. The world seemed to align with his expectations.

A harsh shout from the coach cut through the cheers. "Alex, get over here. Now!" The coach's face was grim. Alex's elation evaporated instantly, replaced by a cold, unsettling premonition.
