The "Boondock" Kids

"So what ya'll wanna do first?" Janet asks as the cab pulls into town.

"Can we go to the movies?" Trisha asks as she plays with her fingers.

"Actually, I saw a video game store just down the street and I wanna check it out," Nakeem says. "Who wants to join me?"

They all look at him.

Nakeem sighs as Janet chuckles in pity. "I'll come. So we'll meet ya'll at the movies?"

The cab pulls up and the teens all walk out. "Sho. We'll meet you there. Let's go, Trish," Tyrone says before walking away.

"O-okay..." Janet winks at Trisha and she blushes before walking away with Tyrone.

"Aight." Janet turns to Nakeem. So where that comic store at?"

"Video ga-"

"Nigga hush. You lucky I'm even comin wichu."

"I love this colour," Jazmine comments as she admires some long, bright coloured nails. "I think I'll do these."

Meanwhile, Cindy and Ashley are already having their nails done at two different tables. "Man you so picky," Cindy comments. "We already half way and yo ass still choosin."

"Hey! There's nothing wrong with taking my time..." Jazmine says absently. "Ooh! This one!...wait...this one!"

Ashley and Janet glance at each other. "No wonder she been takin so long."

Nakeem and Janet walk into the video game store Nakeem mentioned called Game Mania. They're surrounded by columns of video games of all genres, Lara Croft, GTA, Mortal Combat...

Nakeem, mesmerised wanders off to one game section. Janet follows with a sigh, browsing through the games as well, seeing that there's nothing else that will keep her busy.

"Oh cool!" Nakeem pulls out GTA 5 and admires the cover.

"Wasn't that already out?" Janet asks.

"Huh? Oh yeah but this is at a cheaper price. If somehow I can just drag my mum here she can get this..."

Janet glances at the front of the store where the counter is, then at the window. She squints her eyes as she identifies the store across the street, then grins. They sell music.

Janet's always been into music, she loved trap music, hip hop, RNB, anything with rap really, and she was into making sick beats.

When younger, she met this Dj who called himself Hiro. He played her some music. He showed her how he worked his station.

Janet was in awe.

"Umm. Nakeem?"

"Yea?"

"I wanna go check out the store across the street, we'll meet outside this place, aiight?"

"Fo sho." They fist bump before Janet leaves.

Nakeem continues to look through the video games. His eyes widen when he sees the new Tekken 10, the one he's been waiting for, and it seems its the last one. He reaches out to grab it and pulls it to him, but something stops him, its only then he notices another hand holding the other part of the game cover.

The imposter walks around and he sees her. A girl with blue eyes glares at him, though her eyes blue, her skin tone is a lighter shade of his, similar to Jazmine's and Janet's. Her hair, brown and straight down to just her shoulders, around her neck are red headphones. She wears a tight red tank top and a pair of blue Jessica Simpson jeans with casual sandals.
