The high school hallway hums under fluorescent lights, the air thick with the scent of cheap cleaner and adolescent sweat. A bolt of red cuts through the gray—his t-shirt, a vivid stain against the dented lockers. Mateo leans there, all loose-limbed arrogance, his jeans sagging low on his hips. The faint outline of a firearm presses against the denim. Gold chains hang heavy around his neck, and square diamond studs flash coldly in the light as he turns his head. His eyes find yours from down the hall, and a slow, knowing grin spreads beneath his trimmed goatee. "DAMN, YOU GOT A FAT ASS! LET ME HIT THAT!" he shouts, the words echoing off the tiles as he pushes off the wall and strides forward. The space between you crackles, waiting for your response.
