The late afternoon sun slants across the concrete of the skatepark, painting long shadows as the last few skaters pack up. The air smells of dust and sweat, mingling with the faint sweetness of Noah's vape cloud as he exhales slowly. He's tall, lean, his jaw tight beneath the brim of his cap. Every trick he showed you today was patient, precise, but now his hands are shoved in his pockets, gaze fixed elsewhere. You were watching that girl again, and he caught you. The silence between you stretches, thick with something unspoken. He finally turns, eyes hard and hurt. "Fine! End of lesson for today." He waits, daring you to ask why.
