I was high.

I was one hundred percent sure of that but I wasn't high enough to not see the pretty girl walking in front of me with a crop top that barely covered her stomach. Romantic music played in the background as the girl seemed to walk in beat with the music, I couldn't help but watch her ass as she walked past me not even seeing me on the ground watching her walk by. I got up from the ground and followed her out of the club to the parking lot.

She knew I was following her, turned a few times to smile at me before quickly walking ahead of me again.

"Hey, wait!" I shouted.

She stopped and turned to me and I couldn't help but take a few steps back, her beauty was that intense. Of course, my stepping back was all blamed on me being high but it happened at the right time. The girl was spectacular, simply the most beautiful girl that I allowed myself to see; her body was what I first saw, big breast and an even bigger ass, then was her face, big blue eyes that glared but not purposely, plump lips ready to be kissed.

I ran up to her and tried to introduce myself in the most not high way possible.

"Did you know that leaves are green?"

She didn't look at me long before turning on her heel and walking in the other direction a key indicator that she wanted nothing to do with me. I steadily walked behind her with a silly smile on my face and a stupid idea that she might actually be interested in me, to me following her meant getting her attention or that is what high me thought of the entire situation.

She stopped and turned to me, "If you touch me I'm calling my dad."

"Sugar daddy? Or daddy daddy? Or do you mean like father dad, like the man who raised you?" I stupidly asked.

The girl watched me for a good minute before turning and walking off in the other direction. This time I didn't follow her, she wasn't worth it if she was that hard to get. With my head lowered in defeat, I turned and started walking back.

"Do you want to go for some ice cream?"

I turned and saw the girl behind me, she looked nicer, not nice as in 'I'm interested in you,' nice but more of an 'I'm interested to see where this goes,' nice. I walked up to her and wonder if a small innocent girl like her would rob me; in the end, my dick won and I didn't care anymore, it didn't sink in just yet that I was in New Rack and no longer in California.

When the cops busted my boys and me for selling heroin three months ago we thought they would have kept us all in the prison since they only caught us selling. I was wrong, the boys sold me out as the scientist behind the heroin and they gave me twenty years. I expected to come to New Rack and get killed on the first day but in reality, on my first day I was given a place to stay if I sold weed, I was put in prison for selling to sell?

"So what's your name?" I asked as we walked into an alley.

She turned and smiled. A smile that I didn't like and should have picked up as a warning. I didn't have time to think of how stupid the entire situation was before I was on the ground pinned there by three big guys. There were no guns in New Rack, I was told that early on in the game, but knives and other weapons were fairly easy to carve with wood and a little steel. At that moment I had a slingshot and spiked jackhammer pointed at my head.

"Let's be calm here." I wheezed out.

The man with the slingshot stepped back and aimed a pebble at me, he lets go of the rubber and the pebble flies only a few inches away from my ear. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath in; I couldn't do anything in the state I was in, my mind was thinking of food not how to fight my way out of some ransom.

"Where're the drugs?" The man with the spiked jackhammer hissed.

"What drugs?" I asked. The girl came to mind and I opened my eyes looking for her, she wasn't anywhere near me.

"Karim's drug you ass,"

I stopped looking for the girl and looked up at the man, to see how serious he really was with that question. He was serious and waiting for an answer.

"Why the fuck would I have Karim's drugs, do I look fucking mad?"

"You're not one of Karim's dealers?" the man with no weapon asked. I turned and looked at him and watched him in his eyes.

"No, I'm with Marshall."

The guy with the slingshot, a dark-haired fellow, loaded another pebble and aimed it at my head.

"Let him go, James."

All our heads whip to the side to see a girl standing at the entrance of the alleyway. She wasn't as beautiful as the last girl due to her rough on the edges look she had going, she was still beautiful and I was ashamed to say that it wasn't the weed talking. Her hair was thick and curly falling over her shoulders in perfect ringlets, her hair seemed to draw my attention to her eyes which were a light brown that lit her entire face up.

A slim waist that leads to a big ass but she was none existent in the breast area. She wore a crop top and high waisted jeans with large ripes, she had a very boy look. The last girl was wearing makeup but this girl was bared face and staring at me as I admired her.

"Fuck off Mekense," James, the one with no weapon, said with a tilt of his head in the other direction.

Mekense rolled her eyes and walked in our direction with her Gucci handbag hitting her hips as she walked. James released me and walked in Mekense's direction with a fisted hand, when he was a foot away from her she dug into her purse and pulled out a gun. Everything stopped as everyone looked at Mekense as she pointed her gun at James' forehead.

"That's not real, fuck her up James." The guy with the slingshot said.

As a respond Mekense cooly snapped the safety off the gun pointed up in the sky at nothing in particular. A loud bang jumped us all as Mekense pulled the trigger and shoot a bullet up in the sky, the bullet fell to the ground ironically right in front of the slingshot guy's feet.

"Marcus, let the guy go," James said as he turned in my direction.

The man listened, Marcus hit me on the head before letting me go. I rushed off from the floor and looked at Mekense as she watched the men walk off deeper into the darkness of the alley.

I opened my mouth to thank her but she stopped me, "Don't thank me, I was looking for my ex-best friend anyway."

"Looking for me? For what?" I turned and saw the big boobed goddess walk out from the darkness of the alley.

Mekense didn't say anything as she raised the gun and pulled the trigger, the bullet zoomed past me and landed in the girl's shoulder. She screamed out and put her hand to her bleeding wound. I stood there staring at the blood gushing from the girl's shoulder as she laid on the ground crying off her makeup.

I stepped forward to help her but Mekense stopped me, "She just tried to rob you and you're going to help her?"

"Do you want to stay longer on this island for murder?" I asked.

"There is no police to arrest us so they wouldn't know if you don't tell them," Mekense said as she puts the gun in her bag again.

"But she'll die!" I shouted.

"I doubt, this is the ninth time I've shot her and she seems not to learn." Mekense turned, "I'm going for some ice cream, want?"

I thought about it for a minute, "That's how I just got robbed."

"I have a gun, if I wanted to rob you I would have already."

I shrugged and walked up to Mekense. She didn't move.

"You're new?" I nodded, "What's your name?"

"Malik, nice to meet you Mekense." I bravely whisper. She smiled and at that moment I sobbered and she looked better than the bleeding girl on the ground and any other girl I ever met. One smile and she had me around her finger already.
