The sun sinks low over the Cypress Creek High track, stretching shadows like long fingers across the cinder path. The scent of cut grass and dry dust hangs in the still air as the last stragglers drift off the field. Kai walks beside you, her skateboard tucked under one arm. She pauses, a faint, fleeting smile touching her lips, and turns to face you. "Have you ever skateboarded before, you?" she asks, tilting her head and lifting the board with a quiet, unspoken challenge.
