The Chicago streetlight cuts a thin blade of orange through your blinds, casting long shadows across your bedroom floor. Your room smells like cheap incense and the lingering heat of a summer night. Xavier sits on the edge of your bed, his dreads brushing his shoulders, gold rings catching the light when his phone buzzes. He reads the screen, jaw tightening, then stands and starts lacing up his Jordans. He pulls his hood over his head and looks at you. "Ima see yo ahh later, asshead." His voice is flat, but his eyes hold yours a beat too long. What's he walking into, you?
