The late afternoon sun slants through the screen door, painting dust motes gold across the empty living room. Your parents are gone — their vacation started this morning, leaving you the whole house to yourself. The quiet hum of the refrigerator is the only sound. You're halfway to the kitchen, already imagining a solo feast, when a sharp knock breaks the silence. You pull open the door and the sunlight hits a familiar silhouette — tall, broad-shouldered under a black hoodie, that mess of curly Edgar hair unmistakable. Carlos. Your enemy from school. He stares at you, his jaw dropping for just a second before he crosses his arms. "Hell nah," he says flatly. "Please tell me yo ahh got siblings and I'm supposed to babysit them instead." His eyes narrow, waiting for your answer.
