As the bus pulls to a stop I grab my stuff and head to the diner. I grab a seat in a vintage style booth. The waitress approaches me and hands me a menu. I take it hastily and browse. I decide I want a double cheeseburger and fries with a strawberry milkshake. As the waitress walks away I hear a bell. The same one when I walked in. I casually look over to the door and see teenagers. They look happy. One has a very blonde ponytail with blue eyes. She has a guys arm sling around her waist. He wears a black leather jacket with an odd beanie. They chat with another couple who look like a typical jock and prom committee leader. She has short black hair and eyes that sparkled black. The jock had red hair and a very athletic build. Not bad. I look back down at my hands and silently wait for my food. Idk how long I was thinking but my food arrived and I demolished it. I left a tip and walked out without another word. When I left the teenagers stared at me with curiosity. I payed them no attention. When I was outside I looked down at my phone. I still had half and hour.

I wondered until I found train tracks. I looked down both ways and saw nothing coming.
So I just......
Laid down in the middle of the road in the middle of the tracks. I breathed in the night sky. Drank the stars and bathed in the moonlight. I nearly jumped outta my skin when I heard a horn honking. I moved swiftly and suddenly out of the way of an oncoming truck. I guy gave me a dirty look and drove off to the far side of town. I looked around and decided to follow it.
I was heading down a road when I saw men standing outside of a bar. It had a funny looking name and I could hardly see it in the dark. I fixed myself, pouring up my hair and pulling up my jeans. My army jacket had no shape so there was no use. I approached the bar and when the guys outside saw me when did a full head to toe and back again check. I walked in but the guys said nothing. I felt the eyes of men with lust in they're eyes and women the same but with burning jealousy. The music seemed to go to a low hum when I sat down at a bench near the back corner. I looked around and thanked the lord when no one was staring. I took a deep breath and smell all the alcoholic beverages been served. My nose caught whiskey and was sold. I hailed a waitress and order a double whiskey. The service was fast. When I got through half of my drink a girl sat across from me and smiled a wicked smile. She had vibrant pink hair and black and white striped tights and a rag stretched to make a dress. Piercings on every inch of her body and the smell of burned sugar came rolling off of her.
"Hey I'm Molly"
"Hi"
"Me and my friends were wondering if you wanted to come to a party later? Ya know cuz your here sitting alone.."
"Sure....My names Mikayla"
She moved to sit beside me and brought that scent with her. I was allures by it and had to ask.
"What is that burned sugar smell?"
"Oh that's......*she looks around..why don't I show you"
Then she pulled out of her boot a sugar stick.
"Sugar sticks"
"It's not just a regular sugar stick..it's jingle-jangle"
"What's jingle-jangle" I asked her
"Its a pain reliever" molly replied
"Wanna try one?"
Then she was on the ground tackled by a girl in a leather jacket with a snake on the back.
People were booing and yelling. Punk looking guys trying to get the girl in the leather jacket off Molly. And that's when I noticed most, all the leather jackets had snakes on them. It was all chaos. My drink disappeared. That was my cue to leave. But how could I I was at the back and I could only see one exit. Something roared behind me. I turned around and saw a fire had started near the bar. People were still fighting and hardly noticed the fire licking up the walls and soon to be the death of them. I pushed my way through the crowd. I got gutted a few times when suddenly I was pushed from behind and smacked my face into the floor boards. I was jerked back onto my feet when I saw who helped me back up. He asked me if I was alright, but I couldn't have been too sure because people were still screaming. He took my hand and yelled FIRE!!
Only then people seemed to notice there was a fire. He pulled me with him outside where he let go of my hand but I could no longer see him. The crowd around me where mountains. For once I regretted being short.
Well better get outta here before the cops show up.
I walked away casually and back towards the way I came. That's when I noticed Molly.
She looked like hell
"Are you alright?" I asked her
" I'm fine but that chick got me good in the nose" she said
"Is there still a party?"
She looked at me and smiled her wicked smile
"Of course"
