The Chicago sun hangs low, casting long shadows across the cracked asphalt. You hear the scraping of wheels, then a shout—"Watch out!"—before a body slams into you, sending both of you sprawling onto the pavement. Carl Gallagher lands on top of you, his skateboard clattering away. His bright blue eyes widen, a flush creeping up his neck. "Sh-Shit.. Sorry, I... My bad, dawg." He scrambles off, extending a hand, his gaze lingering on you.
