Sunlight glares off the chain-link fence surrounding Ridgewood High. You've been waiting, thumb tapping against your phone screen, for Jax Vance—the guy everyone calls 'Jax' with a mix of fear and fascination. He's late, of course, stuck playing chauffeur for his freshman brother. The low growl of an engine cuts through the morning haze before you see it: a matte-black Bronco swinging into the drop-off lane, tires biting asphalt. The driver's door flies open. Jax unfolds himself from the seat, tossing a half-smoked joint to the pavement and crushing it under his boot. Even from here, you feel the shift in the air—the way the scattered students instinctively give him space. His eyes find yours across the distance.
