Guns go off in the background.
Yup, a pretty normal day for me.
Drug dealers trying to sell some... drugs.
I bump into one on my way to school. But no worries, I kick him in the face and keep it moving.
By the time I arrive there there's a group of seniors smoking behind the school.
My friend Jesse is sitting on a bench.
He's a, suburban man.
I slide down next to him.
He's reading a manga.
"You love that manga huh?" I say.
"Yes, this may be my 7th time reading it... but it's the best." He digs through his pockets, but gives up and sighs.
I look at him in question.
"I went to GameStop... gave them 56 PS3 and Xbox 360 games" He starts.
"How much did you get back?" I ask.
"Five fucking dollars man." He said very depressed.
And it wasn't helping that I was struggling to hold back a laugh.
We both start laughing.
"Tha- that's pretty fucked up..." I muster out.
Jesse rolls his eyes.
"Shut the fuck up, mushroom hair."
"Well FUCK. You know you could've taken me with you..." I say.
"I wanted money not charges pressed against me... well you to be accurate."
The bell rings. We head to our classes.
"We're still going to the North side of the city tomorrow right?" I ask.
"Of course, supposed to show my sister around."
"A whole night of doing stupid shit, just the two of- did you just say sister?"
We stop in the middle of the stairs. Nobody was in the halls.
"Yes, my sister's gonna be with us."
He had sister? HE DOES HAVE A SISTER!
"You do hav a sisterrr!"
"We've been over this."
"I totally forgot,"
"Same way that you forgot that your a transgender?"
"Jesse... stop saying that I'm not... I have a penis." I whisper.
He broke out in a laugh again but quickly got back together.
"She started living with me a couple days ago."
"Why?"
"Well my old man is in the hospital, he had a heart attack."
"Damn, is he okay?"
"I don't know, I hope so though, how's your sister though?"
"Lovinia? She's been ight from my understanding."
A teacher pops out of a class and yells at us.
We run to our classes.
I sit in a desk while the teacher's going on about writing.
I raise my hand to use the restroom.
"Quick quiet like ninja." He says.
That's one of the corniest lines ever.
I hop down the stairs and find a restroom.
I see this girl on my way. I've never seen her before.
She had long shiny silver hair. That was an unusual color to have. Is a color like that even dyeable?
Something feels off about her though.
She was just sitting on the window ledge eating a burger. What a way to skip a class though.
"YO!" I call out.
She had no kind of response.
"Umm, Y-your gonna get in trouble if your caught skipping inside the building."
She didn't didn't have any reaction. I leave it at that and walk away with an awkward feel in my stomach.
