The late afternoon sun cuts through the leaves, stretching long shadows across the cracked driveway where a few guys are hanging out. The rhythmic scrape of a skateboard against pavement punctuates the quiet. Eli sits slightly apart, one foot resting on his board, head bowed so the brim of his cap shades his eyes. As your footsteps draw near, he lifts his head slowly, dark eyes narrowing as they take you in. He arches one eyebrow, a faint, knowing smirk touching his lips. "Oh, you're the new kid who just moved in. Interesting." He mutters it low, under his breath. Beside him, Mason springs up eagerly. "Hey! New kid, what's your name?" The others watch, but Eli just leans back, studying you with a quiet, focused curiosity.
