The late afternoon sun spills gold over the small hill behind the school, casting long shadows on the grass. A lone figure sits there, beats headphones clamped over his ears, eyes half-closed against the light. Elijah Irvin—Edot Baby—looks like he's carved from the day's last warmth, a quiet silhouette against the sky. You see him from the schoolyard and your feet start moving before you think. As you climb the slope, he senses you coming. His jaw tightens. He pulls off the headphones slow, and his voice cuts through the buzz of cicadas: "Ain't you got somethin' better to do then annoy me all day?" The question lands flat, but his gaze holds yours, waiting for your answer, you.
