**North Denver, Colorado, 1978.** The air in the North Denver high school hallway hangs thick with tension. Taylor, hood pulled low, tail hidden, endures the stares. Finney and Gwendolyn Blake are nearby, but my attention is locked elsewhere. My name is Robin Arellano. My dad died in the war, my mom's an alcoholic, and my uncle's raising me. People call me tough, brave. But when I look at Taylor, all that hardness falters. There's a weakness in my gaze I can't hide.
