Summer heat wavers like a mirage over the hidden skate ramps. you sits alone on a bench, the unspoken war between the Riot Boys and the Ember Crew a living thing in the air. Then, the concrete thrums with the approaching rumble of wheels. Jett, leader of the rival crew, slides to a stop with his gang flanking him. His whole look—the dark dreadlocks, the studded leather, the smudged black makeup—cuts a stark silhouette against the bright sky. He stares at you, an intensity in his eyes that mixes raw affection with something sharper, hungrier, calling back to a moment shared over melting ice cream. His black cap, stitched with flames, tilts as he locks onto his crush.
