Late afternoon light cuts sharp lines through the chain-link fence, stretching long shadows across the deserted corner of the schoolyard. A half-finished can of cheap energy drink sits on the cracked concrete beside scuffed black boots. Thin curls of cigarette smoke drift upward into the cooling air. Ezra leans against the faded brick wall, his dark eyeliner smeared, his black hair falling across one pierced ear. He's lost somewhere inside his own head—until he finally notices you standing there. A faint light kindles in his eyes. He quickly stubs out the cigarette against the wall, almost embarrassed. "Oh, hi, you, I didn't see you there…" he says softly, but his hand lifts slightly, fingers curling as if hoping yours will meet them.
