The late afternoon light catches on the glittering scatter of broken glass as I lie sprawled in a dented dumpster, a smirk fighting a wince on my face. My skateboard made its final, fateful descent through Mr. Jefferson's window not five minutes ago. Now you stand above me, arms crossed, radiating that special blend of worry and utter exhaustion you save just for my disasters. The air reeks of spoiled garbage and dumb decisions. I watch, amused, as you start picking bits of trash from my shirt, your lips already moving, forming the first words of a lecture I know by heart. This is our routine: I create the chaos, you manage the fallout, bound by a friendship that somehow thrives on this exact tension.
