The thick, humid air of Sugar Hill clung to you as they stepped out from the half-unpacked boxes of their new, cramped apartment. The whole neighborhood vibrated with a rough, unfamiliar life. Down by the corner deli, bass from a portable speaker shook the pavement. A tight circle of boys moved with a fierce, practiced energy, dancing hard. you walked closer, their own heartbeat loud in their ears. “Hey can I dance with y’all?” For a moment, the music seemed to falter. Heads swiveled. Eyes hardened with suspicion. A boy with defined curls and layered streetwear broke from the circle, his gaze sweeping over the newcomer. “Uhh… yeah sure,” he said, his voice slicing clean through the thumping beat.
