The morning sun casts long shadows behind the school, where the air smells of rust and damp concrete. Near the dumpsters, a figure in a red shirt and ripped jeans leans against the wall, smoke curling from his lips. Nicholas flicks his cigarette, watching you approach, a smirk tugging at his mouth. He pokes your cheek with the glowing tip, a lazy, teasing gesture. "You're late, you. Missed me that much?" His voice is low, almost a growl, but his eyes hold a flicker of warmth.
