-Entering Into the Unknown -
Life is but a journey towards death or is it the other way around
"Take that, Tikki the Silence!"
Playing in arcade machine called, "Neo Tokyo High", a fair skin girl, who looks the age of a teenager, was pressing rapidly back and forth on two yellow buttons with the labels, "HP" and "LP" on them. She was wearing a backward pink cap with her long brunette hair tied into a ponytail. She had on a black tank top with a black and pink baseball jersey tied around her waist as well as baggy black jean that kept sliding down her curvy hips to show off her pink panty.
"FINAL WHISPER! GO!"
The girl leaps up and down, overjoyed with her victory as a girl with long blond hair and black highlights, who had a tattoo of a upside-down heart under her left eye, made her way to her, wearing a white tank top and a black miniskirt with long fishnet stockings and black combat boots.
"Hey, Lily!" said the blond haired girl, "We're going to be late."
Lily sighs as she turns around to greet her.
"Who cares, Tanya?" answered Lily quickly, "it's not like it's the end of the world."
"For me, no," responded Tanya as she pointed to the clock on the left hand side, "But for you, it means another suspension."
"And…"
Tanya sighs, grabbing Lily's left arm as she makes her way to the entrance.
"You're barely passing as is and with another suspension on your belt, you…"
"Won't graduate," replied Lily in an annoyed manner, "are you becoming my second mother or what, Tanya?"
"Shut up and come on," answered Tanya as they went out the door, "or we will miss the bus."
As Lily and Tanya come out Willy's Wild Arcades, they see the bus drive pass the bus stop they were suppose to go to for school.
"Damn! We missed it," said Lily sarcastically
Tanya runs after the bus, leaving Lily to laugh at her. As Lily makes her way back inside the arcade, she suddenly stops, turning towards the direction Tanya was running to.
'I just realized something,' thought Lily as she ran after Tanya, 'she has the rest of my quarters."
They run five blocks down, zigzagging in-between businessmen and pregnant women as the bus turns the corner. Tanya falls to her knees, gasping for air as Lily leans against the brick walls of a Golden 1 bank.
"We're screwed," gasps Tanya repeatedly.
"You look good on your knees, Tanya."
Lily glances to her left as a tall dark skin youth struts arrogantly towards her with his dreadlocks swaying in the breeze, bouncing off his black leather jacket, his hands in the pockets of his baggy camouflage jeans as he gives a slight grin with a cigarette in-between his lips, savoring the taste of nicotine with every puff.
"Go to Hell, Butch!" exclaimed Tanya as she got back on her feet.
"Too late for that," laughed Butch.
"Hey, Butch," asked Lily curiously, "where the hell is your shirt?"
Butch looks down at his chest as he takes another puff of his cigarette.
"Don't know," answered Butch as he took the cigarette from his mouth to blow the smoke out, "but I sure look sexy, don't I?"
"In your dreams, Butch," answered Tanya quickly.
"Then it's a good thing that I am then, Tanya."
'Idiot'
Tanya looks at her watch and sighs as Lily and Butch approach her.
"Since we're going to be late anyway, Tanya…"
"Doesn't mean we can't still go, Lily!"
"What about you, Butch?" asked Lily, "you coming too?"
"Might as well."
Tanya shakes her head in disapproval as they start walking up the street.
"I can see your futures now," said Tanya in a worried manner, "you will either be held back or dropout and work for Burger King."
"At least I'll get a paycheck out of it," answered Butch happily.
"I'm with that!" responded Lily, who hi-five Butch.
Tanya lowers her head in shock as they cross the street. Butch takes another puff from his cigarette before flicking it to the concrete below as Lily pulls some earphones from the back pocket of her pants, putting them into her ears, while increasing the volume to max on her ipod.
"Smoking is for losers," said Tanya as she glances at Butch.
"And who said I was a loser?"
"What happen to you two?" responded Tanya as she look back at Lily, "you were on the honor roll and Lily…"
Tanya looks straight ahead as Butch place both of his hands behind his head.
"I got tired of doing what others told me to do," answer Butch seriously, "especially when said people are below my level of intelligence."
"Where are you living now?"
"The Streets!"
"But why?" shouted Tanya, "I thought your current foster parents were…"
"Nice!" responded Butch angrily, "those bastards use the check for booze money. Those bastards are nothing but flaws in evolution!"
Tanya comes to a stop as Butch walks pass her, pulling out a cigarette from his jacket. Tanya continues to look on as Lily bumps into her.
"Huh, what's going on?" asked Lily curiously.
"Turn down that music of yours and you might hear us next time!"
Tanya storms off in the direction that Butch headed to as Lily lowers the volume of her ipod for a brief second, looking on with a confused look on her face.
"Whatever," shrugged Lily as she raise the volume back up.
II
In front of SuperSaver, a rundown supermarket at the corner of Walerga and Elverta Rd, Butch is seen crouch down, smoking his cigarette as Tanya and Lily approach him from the left. He gazes at Tanya looking down at her watch, staring at it with dread while Lily just bobs her head to the beat of her music.
"Fifteen more minutes!" cried Tanya dreadfully, "and we're nowhere near the school."
Tanya turns around, quickly snatching the earphones off Lily's head.
"What hell was that for?" shouted Lily angrily.
"If you two only care more about your studies as you do goofing off…"
"I be a tool and a teacher's pet," yawned Butch, "and Lily, well, she be…"
"A happy-go-lucky cheerleading bitch!" exclaimed Lily in a bubbly manner, while motioning her hand as if she was moving pom-poms.
"Cheerleading bitch?" responded Butch as he got up on his feet, scratching his chin as he took a puff from his cigarette, "good one!"
"Thanks!" said Lily with a smile, "it was the first thing that came to..."
"Enough!"
Lily and Butch turn towards Tanya as she speeds off, around the corner. They start laughing as they quickly follow after her.
"Tanya! Wait!" laughed Lily crazily, "we're sorry!"
"Yeah, we want to be tools of the system!" responded Butch humorously.
"Ahhh!"
Lily and Butch stop laughing as they see Tanya fall to the ground as if something pushes her from around the corner. They run to her as Lily glances from the corner of her eyes, two ominous figures, a man, and a woman, who stand watch over them with apathetic eyes.
"Pick her up and step aside!"
Lily helps Tanya to her feet as Butch approaches the two individuals, taking half a puff before angrily throwing the cigarette to the ground.
"Are you ok, Tanya?" asked Lily, wiping the dirt off Tanya's clothes.
"Are you deaf? Step a…"
Suddenly, Butch punches the guy, who has his hair slicked back, wearing a black trench coat and leather pants, in the face, but he barely moves an inch. Lily looks on with a surprised look on her face as the guy shows an arrogant smirk.
"Was that it? Such a pitiful punch!"
The man tightens his fist and quickly swings for a right hook, but Butch evades, grabbing the man by his wrist to pull him forward, nailing him in the jaw and sending to the dirty concrete below.
"Kick his ass, Butch!" shouted Lily in excitement.
The man spits out blood, frowning in disapproval. The women, who has short spiky blue hair and wore a white scarf around her neck, which partially wrapped around her black dress, approach the man on the floor as Butch kept his eyes lock on to her.
"Raito! Get up! Now!" said the woman in disgust.
"T-that bastard actually made me bleed!" responded Raito in a rage, staring sharply back at Butch, "I'll…"
"Raito!"
Raito looks back at the woman and then at Butch as he got back up.
"I heard ya the first time, Aqua…"
"Is it pitiful now?" asked Butch sarcastically as a smile rose from his lips.
"You are a very bold man," exclaimed Aqua.
"He just got a lucky shot in," answered Raito quickly, "nothing else."
Raito continues staring at Butch as Lily and Tanya made their way to him. Raito took a step forward before Aqua grab him by the arm, gesturing to let it go. Raito and Aqua walk pass them while Butch and Lily keep their eyes on them the whole time. Raito turns and glances at Butch, who grins uncontrollably.
"This isn't over…"
"I feel sorry for you," responded Aqua in a taunting manner.
"Shut up!" answered the irritated Lily to Aqua, "just be glad it wasn't you and me!"
"Is that so?" giggled Aqua arrogantly.
Raito and Aqua continued around the corner as Butch, Lily, and Tanya look on.
"You know what?" said Tanya, staring down at her watch.
"What?"
"We spent fifteen minutes here and we're still nowhere near the school!"
