   "Hey, Let's go!" Ezekiel cried out from across the school courtyard.
   Ryan, being a relatively "popular" kid, had been chatting with a few of his mutual acquaintances. These kids did have Justices around their necks but, only 1 offense was on each. The requirements to get a Justice in the city were very loose, making it very easy for a kid who is falsely accused of petty crime to get one. The citizens didn't quite like this but it was how things were done in New Kaiser. "
   "Sorry, guys gotta go" Ryan nervously chuckled,
   "Ryan! I ain't got all day!" Ezekiel yelled so very rudely.
   "Fuck off!" Ryan shouted annoyed.
   He said bye to the kids and ran through the crowd of excited students to Ezekiels car. He hopped in and Ezekiel started it.
   "I told you to stop hanging with those criminals bro. You're gonna get yourself in trouble," Ezekiel reminded him,
   "1, they aren't criminals, and 2, you don't know them so how can you talk?" Ryan exclaimed.
   "You don't know them either, and you have no right to talk!" Ezekiel yelled angrily, "You my freind," he pointed his finger, "almost got a Justice put on ya, so shut up!" Ezekiel pushed the gas and drove off.
After a short drive, Ryan and Ezekiel parked in front of a gas station with a convenience store to contemplate what to do for the night. Ryan wasn't expected to be home until about 10:00 PM and Ezekiel could stay out even later since his weren't strict. Ezekiel, being a bit of a rebel, popped a few crystals and blew out the excess. Coughing, as anyone on crystals does.
   "You gotta get off cris' man," Ryan said worryingly, "that shit's not gonna do well over time".
   Ryan knew very well that crystals were a n illegal drug yet, they weren't very a addictive one. But to most people, they had a good taste and smell, with the added bonus of getting you a smidge high after popping a few of them.
Ezekiel coughed, "Fuck off, I don't pop them often alright, just when I'm feeling down"
   Ryan knew this full well, but still didn't like Ez's actions. Ryan sighed, he leaned back in his seat,
   "Hey, you wanna maybe, I don't know," Ryan continued on nervously, "maybe pop into downtown with me".
   Ezekiel, didn't like this idea. "Are you fucking crazy?!" Ezekiel shouted, "We are New Generation, they are criminals dumbass!"
   Ezekiel was clearly upset that even the thought crossed Ryan's head.
   "Hear me out man, we could it a few clubs maybe check out a few chicks" Ryan replied.
   Ezekiel sighed, "I am not going to tag along with you and your rebel activity!" He shouted.
   Ryan sighed, "I'm gonna get a Soda from the store you want anything?". Ryan asked,
   "Nah, I'll come in,"
   Ezekiel stepped out of the car. Ryan being the cunning jackass of the duo, darted towards the drivers seat and locked the doors in an instant.
   Ezekiel turned around, "Hey! What the fuck!" He exclaimed.
   "If you want to get to back to your crib anytime soon," he paused, and stared at Ezekiel., "we're going downtown!" Ryan told him.
   Ezekiel, screamed into his elbow annoyed. He sighed, "Fuck... you..."
   He walked slowly over the passengers seat and slammed the door.
   "Alright"
   Ryan stomped on the gas revving the engine, as Ezekiel never did.
   "Hey, hey hey! This engines expensive!" Ezekiel shouted in fear.
   "Do I give a shit?" Ryan reminded him.
   Ryan stepped on the gas and sped out o the parking lot not giving a glance to Ezekiel as he sat there terrified...
