excerpt #1 // part 2

"Dude, I swear these are the best shit ever." Jensen sighed as he greedily dips the poor nacho chip in a bowl of deliciously melted cheese. He quickly devoured the nacho with a bit of cheese dripping at the corners of his lips.

"Dude, you are absolutely gross." Aspen mimicked Jensen's tone, disgust was clear on his face.

"Why are we exactly friends with a pig like you? Aspen, would you like to enlighten me?" Maddox threw a nacho at Jensen.

"I don't know, you tell me." Aspen flatly retorted whilst Jensen grunted at his friends' comments. Aspen was the one who acted like he didn't care much about his friends when honestly, they were his world. Jensen and Maddox was his anchor, and he often thinks he needs them more than they need him. Aspen believed that since they were his anchor, he only weighed them down.

"Wow, I had no idea it was 'Piss the hell out of Jensen day' today. Thanks for the short notice."

"So, you're not denying you're a pig?"

"Please, I'm a Greek God. And if I was a pig, I'd be the hottest though."

"Yeah, because Aspen and I will cook you first on the highest temperature. Y'know I love me some meat." Maddox snorted, receiving a grunt of disgust, and disapproval from Aspen since he was vegan.

"You break my heart." Jensen put a hand over his heart dramtically, feigning hurt and plastering a sad face whilst he was at it.

"Who knew the player had a heart." Aspen snickered.

"Well, aren't you one to talk."

Jensen, Maddox and Aspen were sitting down at their usual spot which was the very corner of their favourite diner, Gonzales 1981. Hanging out there has been their routine everyday after school ever since seventh grade.

Memories were made, good and bad. It was like their little man cave, but not exactly.

They were well known when it came to the staff and Amanda Gonzales, a loving old lady who owned the diner. The whole Gonzales family were all grateful for the three's existence due to the fact that they were the only ones keeping the diner in business. Sure, there will be a few other loyal customers, but Maddox, Jensen, and Aspen kept the orders coming.

The Gonzales' considered them as family, to put it simply.

It was a typical friday night, really. Although the sound of the terrible thunder storm outside made the night quite different. It was in fact exactly twelve a.m when the bell's ringing echoed through the deserted diner, announcing the arrival of a customer.

A teenage girl stumbled in the diner.

She was immediately engulfed by the warmth of the diner's heater - to which she was thankful for since she was shivering like the leaves of a tree on a windy day.

She was soaking wet from head to toe, it seemed like she didn't bring an umbrella with her. The thunder storm that night was quite unpredicted which the girl had found troublesome.

The night sky's crying quite terribly, was one of her thoughts right then.

If she knew that the weather would be against her that night, she wouldn't have wandered around that ungodly hour and probably just stayed in bed, thinking as time passed by. Like always.

The girl had white hair that had very visible brown roots as if she needed to bleach and dye it again platinum, and it was completely soaked with rain water too. The fact that she was only dressed in a black dress that reached above her knees and was sleeveless made her state pitiful. And don't forget that she was wearing a pair of four inch killer pumps.
