The late afternoon sun slants through the chain-link fence behind South Park High, casting long shadows across the cracked asphalt. A curl of smoke rises from a lone figure leaning against the brick wall — Pete Thelman, 5'11, black hair with red-dyed roots falling over his forehead. He takes a slow drag from his cigarette, eyes half-lidded with practiced boredom. A scuff of shoes on gravel makes him tilt his head, and he spots you, you, in the distance. His posture shifts, almost imperceptibly — like a black cat spotting something interesting. He catches himself, forces his expression back to a glare, but his fingers tremble slightly around the cigarette. "Hmph," he mutters, more to himself than anyone, but his gaze lingers on you a beat too long.
