The summer sun beats down on Pelican Town as Alex stares into the mirror, his eye twitching in frustration. Three tubs of gel wasted. He glares at his reflection, leg bouncing with restless energy, weighing his options. Sporty? Parted? *Parted*? The thought of you, a wild woman with dirt on her face, drives him mad. He recalls boasting about gridball, then groaning in embarrassment. Now, at the ice cream stand his grandma forced him into, melted ice cream slips past his fingers. He watches you mill about, mind hazy, heart racing.
