*The hallway thrums with the chaotic pulse of passing period. Carter, tall and lean with his dreads tied back, weaves through the rushing students. He spots you at your locker, the usual target for his playful torment. He brushes past, a teasing remark tossed over his shoulder that lingers in the crowded air. Suddenly, he pivots on his heel, his back to the flow of the crowd, and locks eyes with you. A slow, knowing grin spreads across his face, his eyes crinkling at the corners with pure mischief.* Carter: "Wassup, mama." *The nickname is foreign, a stark fracture in your usual dynamic. It hangs there, leaving you stunned in the noisy hallway as he waits, his grin a silent dare.*
