The Sharpest Lives

I hugged Ray as he walked out of the store, rolling my eyes as he put a purple flower from the planters into my hair, I still had to giggle though. I purchased a bottle of rootbeer and walked from the market.
The winter day slightly to warm to wear a parka, but to cold to go without one. I sighed and shrugged it off, hoping that the walk would warm my system up. I sat on the small bus stop bench, looking over at the schedule. Five minutes till my ride came.

I almost fell asleep in Gee’s arms, though it wouldn’t be anything from normal. We had just finished up our small chocolate cheesecake and triangle cut sandwiches.
“You really went all out this time didn’t you.” I looked up at the smiling man hovering over me. Here I felt safe, I felt I belonged.
“Hey emo fags!” We rolled our eyes as a jock- Brad as I recall- with his girlfriend- Janet- walked across the plastic play structure to where we were, nestled into the grass. Janet’s low-cut top and pink miniskirt exposing her cleavage and ass. She easily hung off Brad, who’s white tshirt outlined his muscles. Repulsive really.
“Hey Brad, you and Janet care to join us? We finished the cheesecake, but there’s some fruit left over.” Gerard smiled, knowing that was how to piss the huge jock off. Janet let go of her man, allowing him to stalk towards us, if he had sleeves, rolling them up would be even better for this typical dramatic moment. I couldn’t help but let a small high pitched giggle escape my lips.
“What you laughing at, punk?” Gerard pet my head, smoothing my mohawk to the perfect position. I shrugged and got up, allowing Gerard to stand up, face to face with the burly jock.
Gerard
I easily stood at least half a foot taller than brad. I stood, my shadow casting over him like a mountain. he stumbled backwards and grabbed his girlfriend’s hand, leading her away.
I rolled my eyes, he knows he could beat me up, he just doesn’t want to look bad in front of his girlfriend.

“Watch out you drunken bitch!” “Get the fuck out of my way!” “Move whore!” Noises, i knew they were insults, but I couldn’t place them for what they were saying. I know that I got off the train, and saw a sign telling me it was Jersey, but everything else was confusing. People just fucked me off. Most dykes would’ve taken advantage of girls like this, but me, I knew no one would touch me. I was too ugly.
Finally I approached a street covered with houses, a friendly neighborhood. Then I collapsed.
Mikey
I walked into the store, it was just another convenience store, a little bit of this, a little of that, had just about everything. Not like they would miss anything if I took a few things…….
I did however purchase a few things, otherwise you look really suspicious. I bought a two-dollar bag of mini doughnuts and a one-fifty coffee. But I left the store with full pockets.
On a bench a block away from the store, I emptied the loot onto the wooden seat.
Four packs of cheap rack cigarettes, an ass load of energy bars, and a few bags of jelly beans. Don’t judge me! I like jelly beans, a lot.
I opened one of the packs of cigarettes, lighting one and sticking the tobacco wrapped cylinder to my lips. And of course, just because that’s how they roll, sirens of police cars surrounded me. I rolled my eyes and stubbed the smoke into the bench.
Standing up, I raised my hands and walked towards the nearest police car.
Gerard
Frank and I had just gotten back to cuddling- after Brad and Janet’s rude interruption- when I got another call from the local police station.
“Yeah, lemme guess, it’s Mikey again?” It was usually the same two people on the other line, this time it was Julia, a young officer in her late twenties.
“Yep, we might just make him an actual room here at the station! Leave it there so that he knows exactly where to go every week.” We laughed at the joke.
“Right, we’re at the park, be there in a few minutes.” That gave Frank his cue to start cleaning up.
“Kay, learned didn’t you? Bye.” I laughed and said bye before I hung up. I helped Frank finish cleaning.
We were talking like how we would talk normally as we walked into the small station. Mikey sat on a chair, no one had bothered to cuff him, we just had to take him home, why waste the trouble? He smiled a half-smile and waved, apologizing with his eyes. Happy as ever, i see.
“He just really loves it here, doesn’t he.” Julia got the papers for me to sign out. “Technically, it’s illegal for minors to get people out of jail,” she started. “but heh, I am the fucking law am I?” She rolled her eyes in annoyance, the same tone of voice I was going to use with Mikey.
“Hey, it was just some smokes and jelly beans this time!” Mikey retorted as Julia and I kept fucking with him.
“Hey, sorry for stealing your date again, Frank.” Frank waved his hand in dismissal after Julia’s apology.
“Kay see you later!” I said just a little too cheerfully, sending us all into giggles.
Frank
“You’re a really smart bastard, aren’t you?” I playfully hit Mikey’s shoulder. Really he was, he would steal what he wanted- not like he ever got away with it, if he did get away, he would tattle on himself later- only like, two or three times a month, then he would wait till the new month started, when his record got cleared, then go back to his mischiefities.
Gerard held my hand, Mikey beside us, and we walked down the street towards their home. We came to the driveway when we all stopped at once. Time stopped, creating the illusion of vertigo.
When the angels got back from their toilet break and hit play on the remote, we all came to the awkward fact that there was a girl laying on the sidewalk in front of the house.
