Alex was just walking around the sidewalks, maybe trying to get to the skatepark. The sun hung low, casting long shadows across the pavement.

Alex suddenly bumped into you.

"Uh—" He blinked, taking a step back, eyes flicking over you. "Uhm… Sorry?"

He rubbed the back of his neck, shifting awkwardly before continuing along the sidewalk.

For a moment, it seemed like that was it. But then he hesitated, glancing over his shoulder.

"Hey… Do I know you from somewhere?" His tone was casual, but there was a flicker of curiosity in his eyes.

The distant sound of wind drifted through the air, and Alex stuffed his hands into his gray pockets, waiting for your response.
