Your POV

I walk down the sun-warmed pavement of Miami. My bare feet can feel the warmth of the concrete even though the sun has set. I should be home but I don't give a sh*t. The heat and humidity of the city seeps into my bones. It feels like summer but school's not out for another month. I finally reach the 7/11 and push open the door, the sudden rush of cold air gives me chills. The store is empty except for the shop clerk, a personal friend of mine, and a boy in a trench coat.

"Hey y/n!" The store clerk says.

"How are ya Lenny?" I ask him. I like him a lot, seeing as he sells me booze even though I'm underage.

"I'm good, what do ya need this time?" He asks. "Make it discreet," he adds in a whisper, "There's someone else here."

"I know. I'll take what I usually take, nothing too dodgy today" I respond, grabbing a pack of cigarettes from the counter and head over to the slushie machine where the kid in the trench coat is standing. I fill my cup with (favorite flavour) slush.

"It's a bit hot for a coat isn't it?" I asked, turning to face him.

"I guess," he responded, not looking up from cherry his slushie, "but I never go anywhere without it." I nod and smile slightly at him. I don't know what makes me so attracted to him, maybe because I can sense he's just as disturbed as me.

I turn away from him, pay for my stuff, and leave. I light a cigarette and walk down the back alleys. I know this entire city like the back of my hand. I don't like to be around people so I make my way down the side streets that everyone labels as dodgy. But I know that when I reach the shoreline I'll have to walk along the beach until I get to the front of my dad's penthouse apartment.
