Troy, Jayden, Jordan, and Kat chimed in with their own brand of encouragement, layering on the pressure with playful teasing.

"Don't choke," Jayden added, smirking.
"It's over if you miss," Jordan taunted.
"We're no longer friends if you don't make this," Kat joked, her tone light but her words sharp.
Even Whіtеy joined in, "Don't miss it, tutor girl."
Haley took a deep breath and shot the ball. It landed pathetically a few feet in front of her, far from the hoop. The crowd's cheers turned into laughter, and Haley's face flushed with embarrassment.
Haley woke up suddenly, her heart pounding. She glanced around her room, disoriented. Realizing it was just a dream.

Peyton walked down the stairs, her mind preoccupied. She spotted Jordan and forced a smile.
"Peyton. So, how's everything with your dad?" Jordan asked, his voice full of genuine concern.
"It's fine, thanks," Peyton replied, her tone distracted.
"Well, that's good. You okay? You look like you saw a ghost," Jordan joked, trying to lighten the mood.
Peyton hesitated before speaking, her eyes filled with guilt. "I did something really, really stupid. I've been feeling guilty about it all weekend."
Jordan's expression turned serious. "Uh, okay? How bad is it?"
