First Encounter

Masky:

I stormed out of the doctor's office and swiftly walked away, ignoring the desperate calls from my doctor to stop. I speed walked down the pathway my heavy breathing slowed to a rhythmic beat as I got further away from that place. I shoved my clenched fists into my hoodie pocket as My feet slowed to a stop as I slumped down onto a park bench, heaving a heavy sigh I pulled out my phone to check the time. 6:30 pm. 

'Great' I thought sourly. Aunt Audry will probably throw me out if I keep coming home late. Eh whatever, She's a bitch anyway. I sighed yet again and stood up, choosing life for once. As I was about to walk my pills fell from my pocket and spilled out onto the sidewalk.

"Shit" I muttered angrily, dragging out the sh. I ran a hand through my unruly hair yanking on it before crouching down and trying to pick them up. This is so frustrating. Why can't I pick them up?! my shaky hands didn't allow me to get a good grip on the small oval pills. Just as I was about to punch the pavement in frustration, a pale hand came into my line of vision. They started picking up the pills and gently dropped them into the pill bottle. I looked up through my hair to see who the stranger was but I didn't expect to see a man wearing a white mask with feminine features. He suddenly stood up, quickly screwing the lid shut on my pill bottle. I stood up slowly, my face unreadable as I grabbed the pill bottle from his hand. I shoved it in my pocket before thanking him. 

"Thanks, I appreciate it," I said rather awkwardly to which he gave a curt nod. I took that as my cue to leave and started to walk in the direction of my Aunts house.

"You're welcome" I heard a raspy voice reply quietly as I walked away.

Hoodie:

My feet pounded harshly against the gravel as I ran, my chest ached for my inhaler but I couldn't stop, not now at least. Not until I lose them. Their taunting words rang in my ears as I gasped for air, becoming slightly light headed. This caused me to slow down and to my fear they caught up, my hood was grabbed and I felt myself get yanked backward, landing on my ass. 

"Fuck.." I wheezed as I felt a jolt of pain run up my spine, causing me to squeeze my eyes shut. I was full on wheezing at this point as I stared up at the older teens with wild eyes. 

"You bitch, you think you're so great don't you?" A slightly athletic girl sneered, taking a step forward. 

"L-look I'm sorry- I didn't mean-" I was cut off by the other girl.

"Bullshit" She spat, an ugly scowl on her face.

Breathing got harder between my anxiety and my asthma. I stood up shakily and started unzipping my bag in search of my blue inhaler but before I could find it my bag was roughly snatched out of my hands. I wheezed in desperation, reaching for my bag.

"P-please man! I-I need my inhaler, goddamnit" I tried pleading with them, I probably looked so pathetic right now.

"Inhaler? Do you hear that Dee? she wants her inhaler!" The athletic girl cackled as the other joined in with a fit of giggles. I stared into the girls' eyes, they were so mocking. I clutched my chest and gasped falling to my knees, desperately trying to grab my bag as they dangled it above me laughing at my weak state. Suddenly their laughing ceased as they stared behind me, my wheezing being the only source of noise until a firm voice spoke;

"Have you nothing better to be doing?" The voice was male and it had a dangerous undertone to it, making me anxious. They stayed quiet, mouths agape and eyes widened. He spoke again but with more malice. 

"I suggest you run along and give the poor girl her inhaler." He didn't need to tell them twice as they threw my bag on the floor and ran the other direction. I quickly scrambled towards my bag, forcing it open and dug around for my inhaler. Once I pulled it out I took two puffs from it. I felt a hand pat my shoulder and looked to my left, I came face to mask with a man wearing a cloth mask that had a stitched frown on it. I didn't question it.

"T-thank you" I thanked him timidly, To which he patted my back before walking away.

Ticci Toby:

The cold night air nipped at my skin as I stood outside the local supermarket. To others, I probably looked shady with the way I'm standing. I probably looked like a drug dealer. In truth, I'm waiting for my own drug dealer who was taking too long. Just as I was about to call him he came sauntering around the corner, a shit-eating grin adorning his face. 

"Speak of the devil.." I muttered in an unamused tone. 

"And how is my favorite customer doing?" He asked in a sultry tone, making me scrunch up my nose.

"I'm in no mood for your games, David. Have you got it or not?" I asked in an impatient voice to which he raised his hands in mock surrender before reaching into his jacket pocket, pulling out a bag of weed. I dropped the cash into his greedy hands in exchange for the weed. 

"Go wild, doll" He winked before walking off happily. I glared in his direction before sneaking behind the supermarket and leaning against the cold wall near a dumpster. I started rolling a joint when I got interrupted. 

"Isn't that a bit u-unhealthy?" A voice spoke up nearby. I looked up towards the voice with owlish eyes, not expecting to see anyone. There was a boy standing there, no older than myself. His brown eyes stared into mine with a lot of intensity. I didn't fail to notice the red that decorated his clothes. I lit my joint before responding; 

"Isn't it a bit unhealthy to walk around in bloodstained clothes?" I asked in the same tone he had asked, taking a puff of my joint to hide my unease. He smirked before chuckling.

"Touche," He said eyeing my joint.

"That'll kill ya, y' know," He said indifferently, carelessly leaning against the wall twitching every once in a while. I looked away and stared at my joint.

"Yeah well, that's the plan I guess," I said, taking another puff from it. The boy 'hmphed' before walking away slowly.

"See ya a-around," He said before walking down an alleyway.

"Wouldn't count on it" I murmured before finishing my joint.
