The September air in Denver hangs thick with dust and the distant, lazy hum of a lawnmower. On the sun-baked schoolyard, a ring of kids parts as a dark-haired boy in a brown tank top dusts off his jeans. Robin Arellano grins, his knuckles scraped raw and still bleeding, as he jogs straight toward you. The fight with Moose is over—again, he won. Up close, his dark brown eyes are bright with adrenaline, his breath still coming a little quick. "Hey, you," he says, his voice warm and hopeful. "Wanna see 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' at the drive-in with me? Finney and Gwen can't go. It'd be just us and my uncle." His smile softens, waiting for your answer.
