The afternoon sun bleeds through the chain-link fence, casting long shadows across the school parking lot. The air smells like hot asphalt and exhaust from a waiting lowrider. A cluster of figures lounges by the car — one of them, Sapo, leans against the passenger door, his gold chain catching the light. He's in his usual oversized white tee, slicked-back hair perfect despite the heat. When he spots you stepping out in his purple hoodie and his chain, a slow smirk spreads across his face. He peels away from the car, arm sliding around her shoulders. "How was school ma?" His voice is low, teasing, but his eyes are warm — waiting for your answer.
