Ofc.

Meet me at the gate

Niko leans against the wall waiting for Kenny. He was walking to his fourth period, when he decided he wasn't in the mood to go. He also had period five free, so why not leave early. He smiles as Kenny exits the building, pushing himself off with his foot. 

"Saf's then G-Hill?" Kenny asks, already knowing the answer to the question.

"Obviously. 4 days in this school and I'm already done."

Kenny and Niko walk to Saffrons. Saffrons was a little corner shop, right in between the intersection of the two sides of the town. When you get to Saf's you either turned left or right, depending on where you were going. It was one of the only things that connected the town, both rich and poor went there when in need of something quick. Saffron's was owned by a lovely woman called Saffron. She never asked for ID and would serve any one and everyone who came in, all with the same kindness and respect, no matter their wealth. Everybody loved Saffron. Kenny and Niko loved going to her for advice, trusting her, knowing she wouldn't tell a single soul. They also loved going for the drinks and weed she offered. Niko definitely didn't smoke as much as Kenny, but sometimes when life was tough, getting drunk or high with his best friend was the best fix. 

"Hey Saf," Kenny smiles as he walks in, Niko trailing behind him. 

"Hey boys, How are you," She smiles.

"Good thank you. Could I have a bottle of Glenn's and a pack please," Kenny asks. 

"Of course you can! Bunking again I presume," She says, turning to grab the pack and the bottle. 

"How'd you know," Niko winks, "You know what, add another pack in there, mines running low." 

...

Sharky and Aj walk out of their fourth period class, the teacher let them go early as they had finished the test. "I say, we go Saf's and then chill at yours." Sharky suggests. 

"Sure, but I think my mum's home so I'll have to check with her first." 

"Alright, I'll call Amin," 

The boys walk to meet Chunkz in the car, driving to Saf's. They loved Saf's, it was small and a distraction from their normal lives. Yes, they loved having anything they wanted, but sometimes it was nice to have a reality check now and again. 

Chunkz parks right outside the shop, so they can get snacks and drinks. 

"I'm just going to call my mum, see if you guys can come over." 

Sharky and Chunkz nod, walking into the shop. 

"Kenny, my boy!" Chunkz says happily, tapping Kenny on the shoulder.

"Chunkz! How are you, man," Happily hugging Chunkz back. 

"Good Good. What are you doing out of school, I swear you had fourth?" 

"Maybe..." Kenny says cheekily, "We're heading to G-Hill."

Chunkz nods, "I'm assuming this is Neeko?"
