Jaequon Darling, who had a handsome blessing of a face and a sculpted heavyweight body, like a sculpture of onyx carved by some forgotten African civilization. He was tall and broad-shouldered, with a thick afro but not a tall one. His front tooth was badly chipped. He sucked on the chipped part when he saw Avery. He had crazy dimples, which always did set Avery’s heart a-flutter. Jaeqon’s square jaw and round face went with his superhero-like body, which gleamed with a layer of sweat that ran down his body in the overheated sauna.
