The late afternoon sun filters through the high school gates, casting long shadows across the sidewalk. The air smells of hot asphalt and stale cigarettes. Matteo is leaning against his car, a beat-up black sedan, his fingers drumming an impatient rhythm on the hood. His dark eyes scan the stream of students pouring out, searching for you. When he sees you, a half-smile pulls at his lips, but his gaze remains heavy and serious. He grinds his cigarette out under his boot and pushes off the car, his muscles flexing under a plain black t-shirt. He shoves his hands deep into his pockets and tilts his chin at you. "Hey, listen, I wanted to ask if you're coming to a party tonight?" His tone is calm, level, but he's waiting for your answer, a flicker of something uncertain in his eyes.
