Gunner's Point

Chapter 2

Reza jogged down the street in her tattered jeans and black long-sleeve shirt. She hated being next to those two lovebirds – always being all lovey-dovey and all that nasty stuff. She imagined them making out on the couch while she was out looking for food. She shivered.

"It's weird. Sath is always much happier when he's all lovey-dovey with Rose." She said to herself. "Maybe I should get a boyfriend of my own... Would I be happier, like Sath?"

She imaged herself with another boyfriend. She thought of Brad... His stupid face... Him always brushing her jet-black hair with his fingers – which always got stuck after a few seconds. She always hated when he did that.

She spotted a man smoking on the other side of the street. No way in hell was she gonna attack that man! She didn't want burnt cigarette ashes her in stomach. She saw a group of people in the alleyway. 6 girls, 7 guys. She could tell by the look on their faces that they were drunk. Also, the fact that they were holding beer and reeked of liquor. Hopefully none of them would come onto her.

She strutted over to the group, trying to look like she was one of them.

"Hey, dudes? What'cha doing?" She asked.

"Hey, do we know you?"

"No, but that dont't matter! We could be alley buddies!"

"Heh, I guess so."

One of them help up their beer. "Cheers to our new alley buddy!"

The rest of them cheered and clinked their bottles of beer onto others. Clink! Clink!

"Yeah!" Reza cheered.

A boy with dirty blonde hair handed her a beer.

"Uh, thanks, but I don't drink."

They looked at her like they were shocked.

"You don't drink?"

"Weird."

"Who doesn't drink?"

"Sorry, but we aren't friends with non-drinkers."

What the hell does that mean? That was the stupidest thing she heard all day. Is it possible for one to get less smart?

"Uh, excuse me?" She said, quite offended.

"We don't make friends with non-drinkers."

"I know, I heard you. I'm not deaf. What I'm saying is, you don't want to get on my bad side."

"Ooh! I'm so scared!" He said sarcastically. His friends laughed. "This measly girl is gonna beat me up!"

Ok, now Reza was starting to get aggravated. Nobody, and she means, nobody, underestimates her.

She walked up to the person with the dirty blond hair and punched him in the face. He fell onto the ground, knocked out, blood staining the skin under his nose.

Everyone looked at her and backed up. She looked up at the others, smirking.

"Uh..."

She grabbed the guy she had just knocked out and threw him at his friends. It was a weird way of knocking them out, but at least it worked. She sighed before happily chowing down on her meal.

She spotted a wheel barrow on the other side of the street. She managed to pile all the bodies in the wheel barrow without being seen by anyone, then started on her way home.
