Partners in Crime

Familiar Person

        Rubbing my eyes I turn my head to look at the midnight blue sky from my boarded up window. I push my covers off me and get up stretching. As if im a walking zombie, I open my door and walk down the hall. I can see Toney's lit up candle in her room, curious I start walking to her room. I pull up my sweatpants and ruffle my already messy hair before walking in. "Toney why are you awak-" I slowly drift off of my sentence seeing that she is just staring out here window. Something is obviously wrong. I start to inch closer until im actually by her side. We don't say anything and we don't move. We just stared.

"Do you think we will ever get caught...?" Toney asks in a soft tone almost slightly sad. I was a bit off gaurd by this but, only because this mood of hers is very rare. I didnt exactly know what to say. "Toney I think that's your least conce-" "No it's not!" She cuts me off but, also cuts me off guard. As soon as she turned her head to me I could see the sadness in her eyes. They were red and teary. I start to frown as I see one tear slip away from her eyes. "You know I never thought i woukd have this kind of life."
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"What I mean is, is that I never imagined myself being a criminal a-and, you know that."
I was confused at first but, I realized that she eas referring to highscool.

"Ah I want to be a future artist or maybe even a music producer! What about you?" Toney says with her cute squeaky voice. I was trying to thi k because I don't even have a plan yet. "Uhm I don't know yet but, where ever you go I will follow!" Ugh Kori why are you so cocky and cringey! "Pfft ok!"

"Er...uh hey, look where ever you go I go. Remember?" I say. She chuckles a little beforr speaking. "I guess..."
"Everything is going to be fine, ok? We will stick together no matter what happens and, one day you will become what you want to be...!" I try to encourage her but, I don't know if this will work. "Hah...promise?" I stutter a little knowing that if I do this...I can't break the promise. "I p-romise...know go to bed." She nods but, beforr heading back to her bed she gives me a little hug. Im caught off guard a little by this but, I slowly hug back. Still bludhing I let her go back to her bed so, I can too. "Don't think about it too much ok?" She waves her hand in the air signaling me to go away now. I laugh a little and blow out her candle while slowly closing her door.

I take a second before I start walking away to rethink about everything that just happened. Especially the hugging part. I can feel my face turning hot when thinking about it. "Agh stop it!" I whisper yell to myself. I turn around to ealk back to my bedroom but only to get startled by Nick. "Dude what the fuck!" I quietly yell. "So did you get the girl or what?" He asks with a smirk. "Shutup and go back to sleep! And don't tell anyone -_-" I quietly yell again. "Pfft ok whatever."

"It's so collddd" Brennen whines. "Who told you to wear sweatpants, a sweater, and a beanie only?" I ask. Instead of returning the asnwer he just glared at me and goes back to hugging himself. We are all walking in the city and it's pretty chilly. Expecially because its still morning.

"Hey Nick!" Toney glances at a liquor store thats just up ahead. Toney and Nick smirks at eachother. I hate when they do this because when they do this...somerhing bad in going to happen. We all head to the liquor store although we don't even have any money on us. Toney smiles at the cashier and walks into the aisles. Nick follows her as Brennen and I just wait peacefully for them to be done. As soon as they both walk out from the aisles, Brennen and I immediately facepalm in unision. Their coats are all puffed up like they're both have twins. "Nothin today guy lets go." Tiney puts on a little act as we head out the store. As we get a little farther away from the store Nick and Toney release their coat zippers so the can get out all the liquor they stole. "I can't believe tou guys..." Brennen says. I laugh a little at them but that soons fades as I see a familiar person just leaning against an abandoned brick building. "Hey guys..." I point to the familiar person as he just leans against the brick wall and smokes his cigarette. Toney guves me a questionable face. "Is that really Isa-"
