The worlds not grey: Friendship made for magic

The world of graffiti

(Pronunciations: Persephone: Pur-Sef-o-nee/ Millie: Mill-ee/ Seph: sef)

Millie's P.O.V.

This chick is pretty bad ass! She would be a great body guard. Her world of street fighting is scary but, I think she will be able to protect me when angry artist or cops are chasing me. "Ok Buffy, done. Hey Seph, wanna paint something?" I asked her. She looked surprised. "Um sure." She answered. "Ok what do you want your tag to be?" I asked. "My what?" She asked right back. "You know your art name. You can't just sign your initials. I'm Sugar Skull, I always leave a tiny sugar skull in my art. Buffout here is, well Buffout. He always paints what Buffout looks like in Fallout 4 and stuff. My friend Lassy always includes her little well design in her art. And I have a few more friends who sign that way." I told her. "There's Metal hand and Black eye, and there's yellow teeth and Harley Quinn, Gemini, there's a bunch." I told her. She still looked a little clueless. "How about Metal hand?" She asked. "No chica, you can't steal someone's name." I informed her. She defiantly does not understand street art etiquette.

Gemini popped up and scared us, he was on top of the semi Buffout and I just painted. "Hey Buffout, hey Sugar." He said all sly like. "Hello Gemini. Did you finish your Alligator mural?" Buffout asked him. "Of course I did fatso, anyway who's the new chick? She's smokin!" Gemini said. God I hate when he acts like this. Seph kind of made a growl sound. "She's my new friend Seph, she hasn't come up with a name yet." I told him. He dyed his hair pink on one side and blue on the other. A lot of us dye our hair, we don't know why it's just a trend we have as a group. I started it, then Lassy, then Gemini. "Is Gemini his street name?" Seph asked me. She looked about ready to punch his lights out. "Yup." I answered. "Why?" She asked. "Because I have a split personality, or so I'm told. Anyway missy how old are you?" He asked. "17." She said casually. Huh she isn't much older than me... "Sweet, I'm 18. The big boy over here is in his 20s, old am I right?" Gemini asked. "Do you share your real names?" Seph asked. "Yes, but we tend to forget each other's names after a while. Gemini's real name is Kyle. Mine is Charles. And you probably know Sugars." Buffout answered her question. "Lassy's real name is Lesley. Don't worry you'll meet her in a bit. I gotta paint somethin with her. I need her to help me shade better." I told Seph. "So all you do together is art?" Seph asked. "Yeah, and some of us are friends in the 'real world'." Gemini answered. "It's pretty late, what time do you need to get home girls?" Buffout asked us. "Yeah it's not safe in the city for a fine lady like yourself." Gemini told Seph. He hopped off the Semi and stuck his hands in his pockets. "I can handle myself thank you." Seph said sharply. "Damn scary." Gemini said getting closer. He was a tiny bit taller but with less muscle then Seph. "You wanna spar with me big boy?" She asked challengingly. "I wouldn't wanna hurt a pretty face like yours." Gemini teased her. I took a few steps back, Seph did not look happy. She grabbed his shirt and slammed him on the ground. "That's a shame, I was looking forward to it." She said wiping her hands and walking to me. "Uhh Gemini? You ok bud?" I asked poking his back with a paint brush. "What just happened?" He asked getting up. "You just got owned by a lovely lady." Buffout answered him. "Oh, I'm sorry whatever I did to get thrown on the floor." Gemini said. His tone changed a lot, she must have brought out his other half.

"Ok Seph lets get home, where do you live?" I asked her. "On the other side of the city..." She said a little quiet. "Ok, well I think Buffout lives over there by the Chinese place." I told her. "Yes I do, Seph do you want me to walk you there if you live close?" Buffout asked Seph. "I'm fine, you'll just get in my way. Thanks though." Seph answered. I could tell she didn't want anyone to see where she lived. I wonder why. "I live a few blocks away, Gemini you're with me." I told him. "Oh.. Ok." He answered. "Bye guys!" I said. I put on my mask and Gemini put on a theater mask, it split in the middle where one side looked happy and the other sad. We left the warehouse and went through a back ally into a apartment building. We took off our mask once we entered. Gemini's cousin owns the building so he didn't question us taking off our mask. Gemini waved to his cousin at the front desk and we walked out the front door like we owned the place. "Hey Millie.. Y-You're hair looks different... I-I mean it looks nice." Gemini told me. "Awwh thanks, I put a bit more pink in it. Thanks for noticin'!" I thanked him. Aww he's blushin! All versions of Kyle are a bit flirty aren't they? We made it to my apartment and I kissed his cheek. "Millie, um.. Well.... Uh... Good night..." He said. "Night Kyle!" I waved goodbye running into my building.

I snuck into my apartment trying to be as quiet as I could. If I wake up my foster parents, I'll be grounded for life. I snuck to my room and slowly shut the door. I let out a sigh of relief. I threw my bag down and fixed a poster on my wall, it always falls. The clock read 3:48, summer started last week so I'm not worried about staying up to late anymore. I threw off my jeans and flopped on my bed. "Good night guys." I whispered to the silence as I drifted into sleep.
