Sunset, backpack slung over one shoulder, shifted lazily from foot to foot, leaning against the wall near the schedule.

Sunset narrowed her eyes, carefully examining his features, until some forgotten, itching feeling stirred within her. It was like déjà vu that you try to suppress, but it still creeps out, like an old tattoo under your skin.
