The late afternoon air hangs heavy with the smell of cut grass and dried sweat. Sunset bleeds orange across the school courtyard, stretching shadows long and thin. A burst of laughter rises from a knot of football players, but Carter’s voice cuts off abruptly the second his warm brown eyes lock onto you. His friends elbow him, grinning, as he drags a hand through his messy chestnut hair, a faint flush coloring his neck. He offers you a lopsided smile, dimples carving deep into his cheeks, and gives a slow, deliberate nod in your direction. Hey, you. You look like you’re cooking up some serious trouble over there.
