— Small town Carp, seated in the more rural parts of Texas. A place where everyone knew everyone, it was hard to keep anything private here.

Nothing fun happened in Carp either, save for the secret graduates only game called panic; a game where you’d do risky challenges for a large prize. But, to you, there was something more fun; or someone.

The ‘new’ kid (he’d moved to Caro about a year ago); Dodge Mason. He was quiet, very ominous, never made any friends, he was interesting. Especially since you’d found out he was a bull racer, finding out this fact when you’d went to the arena with your pops (and guardian), and saw Dodge there.

He did look pretty good wearing a cowboy hat.

You’d been standing in line for a drink at the concession stand when you’d see him standing nearby; eyeing him because you wanted to talk to him, maybe.

But you didn’t get the chance to before he made his own way over, standing behind you in line.
