Soli spent the days after her birthday strictly going back and forth from school and her home. She has tried her very best to avoid both Adrian and Nate, but that's hard to do as she goes to school with both of them. Not to mention, Adrian lives directly across the street from her.
After watching Adrian in the process of fucking a random girl, and trying to have sex with Nate in the bathroom of Adrian's house, she needed something to just forget about these events. Momentarily, at least.
So, she found herself at the storefront of Fezco's convenience store, ready to open the door. All she wanted was weed. Fezco's little brother, Ashtray, sits at the cashier's desk, and nods his head towards Soli.
"Wassup?"
"Hey, is Fezco here?" She asks, folding her hands together in front of her.
Ashtray steps out from behind the counter to do his routine of turning the open sign to closed and locking the door. He leads her to the back of the shop, and through the door near the drinks.
After walking down a hallway, Ashtray instructs Soli to wait for Fezco. He then disappears, probably to go turn the sign back to open and unlock the door. As soon as the kid leaves, Fezco emerges from another hallway, a blunt in his mouth.
"'Sup, Soli? Weed, right?"
Soli manages to prevent herself from smiling at Fezco remembering what she always wants. Guess you need to have a good memory when you're the town's biggest, and most likely, favorite, drug dealer.
"Yeah, thanks Fez."
He nods to her, and goes back down the hallway where he came from. Moments pass, which allows Soli time to briefly think about the last time she was here. When Mouse forced her to take Fentanyl, and how she felt while high. At first it felt good, but then time began to slow down and she felt as though she was trapped in jello. She shakes her head, still somewhat uncomfortable with that ordeal. Fezco emerges again from the hallway, wielding a large bag full of weed. He sets it down on the table, beginning the process of weighing it, and packing up the amount she wants. When he's finished, she hands him the money, and he gives her the weed.
"Thanks again, Fez," she smiles slightly.
"I got you anytime. Rue was here a few hours ago. She was asking me to scare Nate with one of my guns." He leans back in his chair as if he's about to stretch.
Soli's heart leaps in her chest at Nate's name. And, also at the mention of guns.
"What? Why? A gun? Are you gonna kill him or something?" Soli silently begins to hope this isn't the case and catches herself holding her breath while waiting for Fezco to respond.
