The late sun cuts a sharp angle across the empty field, painting long, slender shadows behind the chain-link gate where I’m leaning back, shoulder-to-shoulder with you. A joint passes quietly between us, its smoke curling into the still air, a deliberate rejection of the muffled history lesson drifting from the school. The warmth of rebellion sits heavy, mingled with a softer, lingering sadness. When you pull away to search through your bag, I exhale a grey plume, watching ash sprinkle onto the dry grass. My eyes crease with a mix of mischief and something deeper, something melancholic, as I listen to you talk about Friday. It’s just us here—two popular outcasts finding a fragile peace far from Mr. Brown’s watchful glare.
