"Alfredo?" Kodomo scoffed as he exhaled in relief, approaching to give him dap.
"Whud' up cuh!" Alfredo smiled as he returned the gesture.
"Who?" Kamiwaii questioned as anger grew on his face.
"He's in one of my academic classes!" Kodomo said.
"Still doesn't explain why vruh' just ran up on us like that!" Kamiwaii huffed.
{VRUH /vruh/: 1) A concubine or friend. 2) Slang used amongst young men in a specific group. 3) Meaning brother or brethren. 4) A way to address another person indirectly.}
"He's the VII rank that started the riot in the commissary last month," Besū replied.
Kui "Alfredo" Sōrān [Rank VII] loomed impressively at a height of 6 feet 3 inches and a weight of 256 pounds. Despite his imposing presence, he was only 15 and not usually prone to violence. He was known for his friendly demeanor, rarely encountering a stranger and generally getting along well with others. Kui was a jokester—there was never a dull moment with him. But one thing for certain and two things for sure, he wasn't an easy target, and the one thing he always had on him, was Alfredo.
"Technically I was just standing there, it's not my fault people decided to follow me!" Alfredo laughed.
"Didn't a fight break out and you yelled out 'fight'?" Kure questioned.
Alfredo paused. "I told two people, ok—" he then retrieved a sizable bag of alfredo from one of the pockets of his cargo pants, along with a pair of chopsticks. "—Y'all know folks can't help following a crowd when there's a commotion." He laughed as he began to devour the bag.
Furai whispered. "Where the heck did he get—"
"Don't question it, vro—" Kinso said, shaking his head.
"Alfredo, whatchu' doing out here bruh?" Kodomo laughed.
"Yeah, I almost popped you cuh'!" Tankue mocked.
Alfredo arched a brow, then let out a scoff before smiling. "Well, to be honest, I smelled propane—y'all got some mo'?"
The group paused.
"You telling me you smelled propane all the way from Buaisōna?" Sutō looked unconvinced.
Alfredo chuckled.
"Nah cuh, my mom lives out this way, a few miles from here actually. I could smell it from her place."
Kamiwaii became intrigued.
"So you're a Tracker?" Kamiwaii inquired.
Alfredo shrugged. "Possibly. After I started developing into my functions, my senses started heightening like crazy."
Kure scanned him from head to toe, a bit of intimidation filling his face. "How old you say you was?" He asked.
"15—"
Tankue smirked. "Yeah, you run up on us again, it won't be so sweet next time you hear me, jit?"
Alfredo laughed. "Aight cuh, y'all ain't gotta' worry about that. But tell me this, why y'all sitting outside a place like this?"
Kamiwaii glanced back at the building behind them, then turned to Alfredo.
"What you know about this place?" Kamiwaii inquired.
Alfredo smirked. "Oh y'all don't know? This used to be an old doctor's office, they would test clairvoyants here back before they started locking 'em up."
