the light was fading. late on the afternoon in cali, i uncomfortably smoothed down the skimpy dress serenity gave me, standing a few feet away from the group surrounding yaki's car
the cold air hitting my not so covered body.
"come outside, she said. we're going to have fun, she said." i mumble to myself, rolling my eyes as i watched serenity sit on yaki's lap, drinking whatever was in the bottle he had just given her
i notice one of the guys from the group, occasionally staring at me, playing with the lighter that was in his hand
i once again uncomfortably smooth my dress down, slowly, walking to the far end of the park and sitting on the bench
"be assertive, next time rene'e." i softly say to myself, letting out a low sigh. i grab a leaf, breaking it as i looked back at the group
"yo, you good?" a voice boomed in my ear as i flinched. i turn to look to where the voice was coming from and brushing off the crushed leaf
"fuck." i softly cuss, looking at the guy standing a few feet away from me. the first thing i noticed was he was bald, had a bit of facial hair and was well built
"sorry, i didn't mean to scare you." he lowly chuckles, flicking his lighter. "i'm kastro." he adds, taking a seat next to me
i stay silent, looking down at my lap as i feel his eyes plastered on me. "ok..." he starts, scratching the back of his neck
"well, i seen u walked off and thought to check up on you, you know, to make sure you don't feel left out or out of place." he says, sparking a blunt and inhaling a big cloud of smoke
i nod as i play with my fingers. "so, who did u come with?" he asks, holding out the blunt as i shake my head
"no thank you." i softly say as he nods, blowing out the smoke. "but i came with serenity." i softly answer, his eyebrows furrowing
"mmh, wouldn't have guessed that. y'all seem like two different people." he turns to look at her then back at me
"i can also tell this isn't really your scene too." he adds, choking on the smoke
