4. Company

The sun was blaring down on me as I waited for Sam. He was taking longer than usual today. Probably that new girlfriend of his.

I had discarded the free coffee that I had gotten. It was too hot to drink coffee. Overtly looking across the street to the curb opposite I saw the girl with a bunch of friends. She was smiling but somehow the smile didn't reach her eyes.

Today she was wearing leather shorts and a white crop shirt, a flower band sitting just behind her hairline. Her friends approached her like a ringleader, she looked scary among them.
Formidable
Intimidating
Two guys were standing especially close to her.

They both offered to light her cigarette for her when she produced one of her own.

She raised her eyebrows at them, her eyes glistening, she took a large drag and the smoke billowed out clouding my view of her and the two boys beside her.

"Hunter? Hunter!" Sam's voice snapped me to the car in front of me. He was hanging out of it trying to get my attention.
"Earth to Hunter, what the hell are you staring at?" Sam craned his head to see across the street
"Nothing" I mumbled and got into the car.
