The beginning of the end of my ordinary life began at that moment.
We ducked at bright lights, dodged between cars and ran for our lives.
I had no idea where I was going.
I probably should have turned back.
But watching her, feeling that exhilaration of pure rebellion; something in the blaze told me to continue.
So I did.
We ambled on until she turned abruptly into an alleyway.
She dumped her rucksack on the concrete and beamed back at me, her smile brightening up the darkening sky.
Don't get me wrong, by now I was wary of her. I'd prefer be with anyone else.
I just didn't know why.
"Take this Winters."
She tossed a spray can in my direction and I caught it with one hand.
"How do you know my second name?"
Kennedy winked slyly while bending down to remove a stencil from her bag.
"I get around."
From her boots she pulled out a sharpie.
I watched in knowledge of anticipation; this couldn't end well.
She began marking the sides of the stencil until it formed the outline of a crescent moon.
I handed her the spray paint and she did it.
If I'm being honest I don't remember much of the paint. Except that she was the artist, the ruler of the painted words, and soon enough she had finished.
A starry night sky covered the brick wall.
It was beautiful; unnervingly so.
There was a sentence splattered across the surface.
I dare you.
"Dare me to do what? Of all the deep tumblr quotes you could have used?"
She laughed.
"I look pretty tumblr right? Well we don't have time for that right now, because we are about to be-"
Lights flashed across the building wall and she was already pulling me away with her.
And before I could look back the night embraced us.
