As you followed them outside you noticed the air seemed different. You didn't get the time to actually appreciate the different setting. The air was fresh and you felt like you could actually breathe. You were greeted with tiny little raindrops falling onto your skin. As you got into the back seat of a an older white Mercedes benz you noticed how everyone was different compared to the people at home. You wondered how Sam knew these guys. You sat between Scott and a man with blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. You tried to focus on your phone to avoid eye contact with the boys. After 5 minutes Scott broke the silence. "So what brings you to the crescent city?" He asked. "Just looking for a fresh start" you replied. He looked at you and just chuckled. "Why here ?" "I don't know I just kind of thought it'd be a different scene from what I'm used to. Plus I haven't seen Sam in a long time" You replied. "We're here" Ruby said. As you made your way out of the car you saw a sign that read "Russell's Marina Grill". You followed the boys into the small pink restaurant and ended up being seated a few minutes later. You ended up sitting between Ruby and a boy with long , straight , black hair while Scott and the boy with blonde hair sat across from you. After you ordered you decided to try and make conversation. "So um.. what do you guys do?" You asked. "Well max here is a photographer/videographer, meth is a dj, and me and $crim make music" Ruby replied. "Oh so how do you know Sam?" You asked while studying the restaurant. "She's just a friend" Max responded. "Hey maybe later you can come over and check out some of our-" Ruby said before being cut off by $crim. "Oddy." He said while shooting Ruby a glare. "We'll talk about it later" he said while studying your appearance. After you all had ate the boys settled on going back to your friend's house and chilling for a bit.
$crim, Max, & Meth entered the house and went straight to the living room, you were about to follow but you were pulled away from the door before you could even enter the house. "Do you wanna go back to my house and check out some music ?" Ruby asked. "I don't know...$crim didn't seem to thrilled at the idea when you mentioned it earlier.." you said. "We just won't tell him" He responded with a smirk on his face. You both got into his car and made your way to his house.
"So how do you like New Orleans so far?" He asked. "It's pretty nice so far, It's different from what I'm used to but a good kind of different, ya know?" You replied. "Yeah I have a lot of memories here... this town is definitely an interesting place to live in.. you'll either let it swallow you whole or you'll learn to float through the shit. This city isn't for everyone" he said. "I don't know it just feels like I can breathe finally. Like when we were walking to your car earlier today the air felt different.. it felt fresh and clean... it's something I'm not really used to" you replied. "What was it like...where you're from?" He asked. "It was a smaller town polluted with people with bullshit goals and values..people pretty much only cared about themselves and who the mayor was sleeping with. Everything was much closer to .. almost to the point where it could make a person claustrophobic." You responded as you guys approached a smaller house. "Well we're here" he said while opening the car door.
