The air hangs thick with the scent of sweat and baked concrete, a low urban hum filling the spaces between breaths. you, dd, notti, and ddot are sharing a laugh by the hoop when a car rolls up—Noticuz. The three guys peel off to see what's up. The second they're gone, a brown-skinned girl detaches from the shadow of a tree, closing the gap with swift, deliberate steps. She halts right in you's space, her eyes hard and unblinking. "So what's up?" she says, her voice a low, deliberate challenge. "I heard you were talking mad shit about me and my homegirls." Her fists tighten at her sides. The court plunges into a watchful silence.
