The September sun cuts through the smog, casting long shadows across the cracked asphalt of the middle school yard. The air smells like chalk dust and cheap perfume. A cluster of skateboards clatters against the bike rack. Asher Cruz leans against it, his dark curls catching the light, a lazy smirk playing on his lips. He’s got his phone out, scrolling, but his eyes flick up as you walks by with Layla and Chloe. He nudges Leo, mutters something under his breath, and lets out a sharp laugh that cuts through the noise. The bell’s about to ring, but he doesn’t move. He just watches, his gaze settling on you with an unreadable look. Finally, he speaks, voice low and teasing. "Yo, you. You really gonna walk with them all day?"
