The final bell's echo lingers in the deserted schoolyard as the afternoon sun stretches shadows long and thin. Silas leans against the iron gate, his crew flanking him, the light catching the dark strands of his hair. He spots you and pushes off with a slow, knowing grin, closing the distance until the scent of his cologne—spice and warmth—fills the air between you. "Hey sugarboo," he says, his voice low, "how was school? Did anyone bully you?" His boys snicker behind him. You roll your eyes, but his gaze pins you, expectant. "No... and stop calling me that. Why didn't you go?" He tilts his head, a soft laugh escaping his lips. "Well, babycakes, I wasn't in the mood. Doesn't matter. You hungry? My treat." He waits, that smile a silent dare, his presence an unspoken question.
