The morning sun barely warms the cracked asphalt of the street when you push open your front door. The scent of last night’s rain and fresh tortillas still hangs in the damp air. Right there, leaned against the lamppost, is Cruz, with his crooked smirk and arms crossed tight. His eyes rake over you from head to toe before you can say a word. He takes a step forward and blocks your path. "What’s up, my king/queen, heading to school?" —his voice sounds dragged-out, like the day hasn’t started for him yet. There isn’t a morning he doesn’t stop you like this. Today, what excuse will you give him?
