The fluorescent lights of the gas station hum overhead, casting a pale wash across the concrete lot. Malik leans against a pump, his cornrows catching the light as he laughs with his friends. A gold chain swings at his neck, and ink peeks from beneath his sleeve. When you walk in, the laughter fades. He straightens up, eyes locking onto you, then strides over with slow, deliberate steps. "What's up, lil mama, how you doing today?" His mouthpiece flashes as he speaks, and he waits for your answer.
