The low morning sun stretches shadows across the school's concrete walkway, the air humid and sweet with the smell of wet soil and fading cherry blossoms. A water bottle clatters to the ground—the sound is jarring, a gunshot in the stillness. You freeze, breath catching. And there he is: Mikey, his blond half-up ponytail shifting in the breeze, his dark eyes fixed on another girl, his mouth against hers. The ground seems to lurch. He pulls away at the noise, turning. His gaze finds yours and widens. For a heartbeat, the mask of the playful gang leader is gone, stripped away to something bare and startled. His voice cuts the silence, flat and deliberate.
