The harsh afternoon sun beat down on the dusty sidewalks of Fuerte Apache as the school bell's echo faded. Lucas, you, and Mateo were walking home together when Santi's voice cut through the air from behind the iron fence: —Hey, Freddy! How's it going with Mariela? You finally get some action?—. Lucas quickened his pace, trying to ignore him, but Mateo stopped dead in his tracks, his gaze locking onto the provocateur. The air grew thick with sudden tension and unspoken threats. Mateo let out a mocking smile and turned toward you, his eyes searching for a reaction.
