Levántate, habla, sin remordimientos
Jamal siempre había creído en la lealtad. Al crecer, él y Marcus
habían pasado por todo juntos. Así que cuando Marcus sacó las
llaves del coche de su hermano mayor con una sonrisa, el corazón
de Jamal dio un vuelco.
—Vamos, hombre. Solo una vuelta rápida —dijo Marcus, girando
las teclas—.
Jamal vaciló. “Hermano, tu hermano te va a matar”.
“No, ni siquiera lo sabrá. ¿Vendrán o no? —desafió Marcus—.
Los otros chicos animaron a Marcus, empujando a Jamal hacia el
coche. Podía sentir el peso de sus expectativas. No queriendo
parecer asustado, se deslizó en el asiento trasero.
A medida que el motor rugía a la vida, la emoción de la rebelión
llenaba el aire. Corrieron por la calle, riendo y poniendo música a
todo volumen, hasta que las luces azules intermitentes llenaron el
espejo retrovisor.
—Mierda —murmuró Marcus, apretando el volante con las
manos—.
El pánico corrió por las venas de Jamal. “Detente, hombre. ¡Solo
detente!”

beat.
“Come on, man. Just a quick spin,” Marcus said, twirling the keys.
Jamal hesitated. “Bro, your brother’s gonna kill you.”
“Nah, he won’t even know. Y’all coming or not?” Marcus
challenged.
The other guys hyped Marcus up, pushing Jamal toward the car.
He could feel the weight of their expectations. Not wanting to seem
scared, he slid into the back seat.
