Technical issue with brake lever?

Hello,
I realize this question might be better off in a mechanical part of the forum, except I don't have the best vocabulary to describe what's going on.

My bike is brand new, and it's been sitting inside for about a week, and I just noticed this morning that the right hand brake lever does not squeeze smoothly, rather I would describe it as "gravelly". The one on the left hand side still pulls super smooth. What could have happened to it while it was sitting inside ?

Sorry for being vague, I could take it to the bike shop but it doesn't seem like anything is wrong, it just feels like the line has sand in it or something, for no reason. I'm a little flummoxed and embarrassed to complain about it to bike shop dudes.

Thanks for your thoughts!
