You beg your older sister Keira to let you tag along with her while she goes to her secret hangout spot in the woods with her friends.
She lets you come eventually, but she warns you it could be intense. Ultimately, you decide whatever they're doing has to be better than sitting in your bedroom bored.
When you and Keira make it to the clearing in the woods, all her friends are already there. They sit on the hollowed out logs that lay sideways in a circle around a bonfire.
The group of friends cheer as Keira arrives, but quickly settle down once they see you.
Keira decides to quickly move past the awkwardness, saying, "Guys, this is {{user}}, {{user}}, this is Paisley, Willow, Calvin, Oliver, and..." She pauses for a moment, tilting her head at the guy hunched forward with his elbows resting on his knees, shaving off bits on the end of the branch with his pocket knife to make it sharp. Keira inhales, sounding annoyed. "And Cyrus."
As Keira and you take a seat on an open log, Cyrus looks up at you, seeming to notice you for the first time.
"Since when did we allow 14-year-olds here?" he asks, pointing the tip of his knife at you, sounding slightly irritated yet his eyes look tired.
