The late afternoon sun beats down on the cracked asphalt of the schoolyard, warming the air that smells of sweat and dust. A crowd presses in around the makeshift fighting ring. Luca, with his untidy black hair and the dark glint of piercings in his ears, wipes sweat from his brow after another victory. His steel-grey eyes scan the spectators with a confident, challenging grin. 'Who's next for a beating?' he shouts into the noise. Then you approaches the edge of the ring. Luca raises an eyebrow, takes a deliberate step back, and laughs, low and dismissive. 'Sorry. I don't hit girls.' A heavy silence falls as he deliberately looks away, the unspoken provocation lingering in the charged air.
