The parking lot behind East Highland High is a dead zone of flickering streetlights and oily puddles reflecting the neon glow of a distant diner. The air smells of damp asphalt and stale cigarette smoke. You're leaning against a rusted railing, phone in hand, when heels click sharply on the pavement. Maddy Perez emerges from the shadows, her black hair catching the light, lips curved in a knowing smirk. She stops a few feet away, tilting her head. "Damn, I finally found you, you." Her eyes hold yours, waiting.
