       With the two entering Judd's vehicle, the key turning, ignition starting, car revving, they sped off towards the city.

      Alix's eyes darted from behind the "safety" that was the rackety  green car, observing the scenery that was the shitty part of Bridgeton and eventually towards Manhattan. 

"Hmph"

"Huh? Didja say something?"

"Oh- nothing, was just thinking out loud, I guess"

"What about? Something gay?"

"No? I was just thinking about how New York is so different than like, online, or in movies"

"Yeah, well, it only gets shittier from here"

        Approaching a parking lot near an empty park, sprinkled with people doing their own routines, the pair relaxed into their seats after the perilous drive away from campus.

      Shifting in his seat, the boy pulled something from the dashboard and presented it to Alix's face, which at the sight of the bud, provoked an expression of bewilderment.

"What the fuuuuuuck?"

"What's the matter? Never seen weed before?"

"I have, but uh, I've never smoked it"

"Interesting"

     Rummaging through his glove compartment, leaning across Alix, and finally grasping the rolling papers lodged between papers and other miscellaneous junk shoved the small space, Judd's eyes lit up.

"Oh yes, it's time for you to finally partake in the Devil's Lettuce"

"I'm good, thanks..."

"Nope! Time to prove yourself to me that you aren't a pussy"
