I stared at the white ceiling in my room. I don't want to go to that ratchet school. Rich kids that's all I ever deal with. I lie within my blankets and the comfort of my bed. I never want to leave. After dad died everything has been so different. Mom started drinking again. I just wish that everything was back to the way it was when I was a kid.

I was getting a call, but I just decided to ignore it for now.

"Nikita get your ass out of bed you have school. You can't keep missing!" My mom scolded. This is a pain in my ass. So I decided to get out of bed and get ready. I left the house with a kiss on the cheek goodbye from my intoxicated mother.

I was not going to school that was for certain. My back hurt so bad from the implant I got. It was my dad's, I still haven't figured everything out but I still have time.

The train. That's where I'm headed. Why? Because I wanna make some quick money if I'm going to even afford food in this damn city.

Chips are easy to steal you just have to quick and quiet enough not to get caught stealing them.

Life recently has been so dull. I want a thrill. I'm getting so tired of just stealing chips. Plus it doesn't even pay that well.

The train is rather busy today though so I guess I could make a decent amount.

I shoved the chips from the people on the train in my pockets as I got off the train. I walked down the empty street. It's rather quiet today which is weird because it's night city it's never quiet.

I handed all the chips to my guy and got quite a bit of money in return. I don't want to be living of immunoblockers but I might need some.

"Hey doc?" I called him.

"Watchu want choom?"

"You got some immunoblockers in stock I need some"

"Ya I do. You actually gonna pay this time."

"Ya I made some money. I'll be there in ten."

It was cold so my jacket payed off. The streets were quiet. Empty, almost. The faint sent of weed filled my nose. But it was the ally way so it's probably normal.

I walked into the studio that doc worked at.

"Aye what's poppin choom? You wanted imunoblockers right?" He asked grabbing a box full of em from his shelf.

"Yep." I tapped my foot on the cold cement.

"How many you want?"

God his illiterate grammar is going to kill me one day.

"How many will this get?"

I ask placing the stack of money on the cold metal table.

"Let's see, maybe about 2 weeks."

"Bullshit! I can go to anyone else and they'd give me more!"

That should give me three weeks to a month at least I don't even know why I even buy from this guy anymore.

"Well I'm not anyone else am I choom?"

I clenched my fists at his words.

"It's 2 weeks or nothin'. "

"Fine."

I grabbed the bag out of his mechanical hands and left the shop without my money.

That was a total scam. Yet I still go to this guy every time. I walk out the door looking down at the bag in my hands.

"What's that?" A deep voice came out from the shadows next to me. I instantly recognize it. Shit. It's Maine. My pain in the ass uncle.

"Immunoblockers," I mumbled out.

"What was that?"

"They're immunoblockers.." I said a little louder this time. I didn't want Maine to know that I was buying immunoblockers or that I got an implant.

"So it is true, you got an implant," my eyebrows furrowed, confused I nodded.

"Your mom told me you got one but I didn't think that it was true." My eyes widened hearing his words.

"What! What else did she say!"

"She said you've been skipping school and going out in the day to who knows where."

I scuffed my shoes on the ground walking forward with my hands in my pockets as I followed my uncle.

"Niki, don't tell my you started running.."

I stayed quiet. I'm not trying to lie to my fathers brother. But. I don't want to tell him either. I want to be a runner but all I've been doing is stealing stupid chips.

"I'll tell your mom you've been coming over to mine, also you're coming over right now."

My eyes widened as he spoke sternly. This is the most serious I've seen him in a while. I followed him to his place, my head hanging low.

The hangout that's where he took me? No surprise there. I got inside taking my shoes off. It was a common courtesy I had picked up from my dad. He never wanted shoes past the entrance hallway. You could call it a habit for me almost.

"Still doing that huh?"

"It's habit I guess," the boredom in my voice was showing no doubt.

I walked over to the couch and sat down. The cushions were as comfortable as ever and the blankets were soft too. Someone had walked in the room. Had I not noticed or was I just that out of it. I watched my leg bounce as I slouched back into the cushions.

"Niki this is Dorio," they waved at me. I looked over looking them up and down. Nice style, they seem close with Maine. And suddenly I realized I forgot to wave back. Eh, too late now I guess.

"So, what implant did you get?" I looked at my uncle not wanting to tell him.

"Nikita. Don't tell me you got your dads Sandevistan."

I sat up and scratched the back of my neck. Well this is awkward.

"And so what if I did."

"What do you mean his Sandevistan Maine?" Dorio asked. I looked over to them. Curiosity killed the cat.

"Her dad's Sandevistan is a special piece. Her dad had tweaked it and worked on it as much as he could advancing the qualities and strengths of it."

I thought back to when I was a little kid. My dad spent all of his time working on this thing. When he finally got it implanted he goes and gets himself killed. But I guess now it's my Sandevistan. I still don't know the full potential of this thing or what exactly it can do but I'll figure it out later.
