ep.3

...
It was a bright, lazy afternoon on Westbridge College’s quad.
Sky lounged under a tree with a cheap iced coffee in hand, sunglasses on, pretending to study but actually drawing stick figures of his friends dying in creative ways. Kian and Mika were off somewhere being menaces, and for the first time since The Incident, Sky felt at peace.

Safe. (muttering to himself) He won’t cross campuses. No way. Rich kids got better things to do.
The wind was nice. The sun was warm. The air didn’t reek of generational wealth.
And then a shadow fell over him.
Sky Rivara (MC)
Sky Rivara (MC)
Yo bro, you're blocking the sun—(look up)
And his soul yeeted out of his body.
Axon. Freaking. Silva. Standing there in broad daylight, hands in his pockets, looking like he just walked off a magazine cover. Perfectly ironed clothes, cold expression, and those sharp eyes locked right onto Sky.
Axon Silva (ML)
Axon Silva (ML)
Sky.
Sky blinked. Then blinked again.
Sky Rivara (MC)
Sky Rivara (MC)
...Who?
He tried.
Axon raised a brow.
Sky laughed awkwardly, standing up casually like nothing happened.
Sky Rivara (MC)
Sky Rivara (MC)
Nah, man. You got the wrong guy. Common mistake. Lots of people here named Sky. Could be the weather, you know. Clouds and stuff.
Axon said nothing. Just took a step closer.
Sky started edging sideways.
Sky Rivara (MC)
Sky Rivara (MC)
Aight, well, uh, it’s been real, man. Catch ya never.
He turned to bolt.
But Axon was faster.
In a blink, a hand grabbed the back of Sky’s hoodie like he was a damn stray cat caught sneaking food off someone’s table.
Axon Silva (ML)
Axon Silva (ML)
Got you.
Sky Rivara (MC)
Sky Rivara (MC)
WHA— LET GO, MAN! I’M DELICATE! (yelp, flailing like an idiot)
Axon yanked him back around, forcing him to face him. The two were practically nose-to-nose, Axon's expression unreadable, Sky’s panicked and 85% sure he was about to die.
Axon Silva (ML)
Axon Silva (ML)
You caused a scene at my match. And you think I wouldn’t find you?
Sky Rivara (MC)
Sky Rivara (MC)
(gulp) Bro… I didn’t even go to your college. Isn’t there, like, a rich kid border control or something?
Axon Silva (ML)
Axon Silva (ML)
(smirk) I make my own rules.
Sky Rivara (MC)
Sky Rivara (MC)
(scowl) Well, bad news for you, I’m broke and barely passing Chemistry. I’ve got nothing you want.
Axon Silva (ML)
Axon Silva (ML)
Oh, you do.
Sky Rivara (MC)
Sky Rivara (MC)
(gulp)
