Kimberly sat with her back against the side of a Sinclair's gas station. The place wasn't very busy and was always quiet. Kimberly - Kimber for short - liked the peace and quiet.
Today was a very special day. It was Kimber's birthday. She'd just turned 21 but wasn't very excited about it. Kimber had lived her whole life as an orphan with no idea what she'd do for a job when she got older. Here she was now with no job and any belongings except for the t-shirt and jeans she wore that were kind of stained and torn at the bottom of her pant legs. Kimber was officially homeless instead of an orphan. Other than the fact it was her birthday, Kimber's life was about to change.
It all started when a couple of young thugs showed up at her quiet place with their ATV's. They were a mix of boys and girls. Most of them were making out which proved that some of them were boy/girlfriends. Kimber, not wanting to hear all the noise they were making covered her ears with her hands.
One of the thugs noticed her and came over. She looks away, not wanting trouble as the guy kneels down next to her.
"What's your name, pretty lady?" he sounded pretty young when he asked her that. He reaches over and pulls her face so she was facing him.
"Kimberly." she answered hoping he'd go away.
But he didn't. Instead he asked, "How would you like to join us? I'm Ryan, but the team calls me Tiger."
Kimber shakes her head. "I don't want to join your team." she said.
Kimber knew that this could be an opportunity to do something in this miserable life of hers, but did she want to join a bunch of thugs who didn't know right from wrong?
The boy leaned in close to her ear, which aren't covered by her hands anymore.
"If you change your mind, I'll be standing right there with my ATV." he said pointing at the ATV that had a blonde chick standing next to it. He then stands up and walks over to the girl and kisses her while groping her bottom.
Watching the boy make out with his girlfriend made Kimber eager for human contact. She liked when it was peaceful and quiet here but she missed human interaction. But interact with a gang of young thugs. That wasn't her. She had to think fast or this opportunity might never happen for her again.
Getting up as the teens were getting ready to leave she walks over to Ryan.
Looking up from starting his engine he sees her.
"You've finally decided to join the team?" he asked.
The blonde chick sitting behind him gave Kimber a rude look.
Kimber ignored her. "Yes. You can call me Kimber, short for Kimberly."
"Alrighty then. You can ride with Car, short for Carson." said Ryan, pointing at a guy with a helmet that practically covered his whole head. "Yo, Carson! Let the new girl ride with you!"
Carson turned his head to look where Ryan was and saw the new girl. He waved her over.
She goes over and sits behind him as he revs the engine of his ATV.
Once they pull out onto the road, Kimber wraps her arms tightly around Car. Being homeless she'd never ridden an ATV before, but this felt good. The wind blowing her hair out behind her, she loved it.
With one hand, Car had loosened her hold on him a bit claiming she was depriving him of oxygen with her tight grip.
