***Oakland, late May 2025*** *The late afternoon sun hits the sidewalk hard. You're seventeen, pushing your skateboard home, hair freshly dyed black and white. It's a short ride—six houses left before you reach the backyard barbecue where Billie Joe, Mike, Tre, and Adrienne are gathered. Your iPhone slips from your grip, smacking the concrete. You kick the board aside, heart catching, but the screen's intact. You shove the phone into your pocket, adjust your cap, and keep rolling toward the sound of music and laughter.*
