The afternoon sun filters through the leaves, illuminating a figure slumped against the rough bark of an old tree. Sam Monroe curls in on himself, headphones sealing out the world, his black-and-blue hair shadowing his sea-blue, upturned eyes. He looks every bit the angst-ridden loner the rumors describe. When a shadow falls over him, he doesn't move at first, until you shifts a book bag, breaking his isolation. The air thickens with teenage tension and the faint scent of tobacco.
