A couple more minutes of walking later, Katie and Crystal found themselves in the suburban area once again.
Unlike the part of the neighborhood they were at before, they appeared to be in a different part of it. Thankfully though, Crystal already knew this part of the neighborhood, as she had been around multiple times. She already knew one of her friends lives around here somewhere, which was the previously mentioned Goth Boy. She wasn't sure if Katie was curious about what he's been up to, but since his house was pretty much nearby, she felt like going there anyway, mainly to see how Yuki was doing after their previous conversation.
It didn't take long for Crystal to find Goth Boy's house. During their walk, Crystal found the house that the goth lives in, which was the only house that was surrounded by a fence that has spikes on top of it, and had a dead tree in the front yard. Pretty much, the house wasn't too hard to find. When she saw the house, Crystal decided to stop Katie from going on any further, then pointed at the her friend's house.
"Dude, before we go anywhere. I want to see how the other goths are doing." Crystal told her best friend. "You don't mind that, right?"
"You think Goth Boy will be okay with me just showing up at his house?" Katie asked Crystal. "I'm not exactly friends with Goth Boy at all."
"Katie, there's really nothing to worry about. As long as you don't annoy Goth Boy about his family, his girlfriend, his exgirlfriend...or in James's case, pester him into hanging out with the other goths...then everything's cool." Crystal opens the gate to her the goth's house, before stepping aside to let her best friend go through it. "After you, dude."
"T-Thanks..." Katie walks through the gate, as Crystal followed after.
Both tomboys went up to the front porch of the house. When they got to the front door, Crystal steps forward, giving it a firm knock. After she knocked, the rebel stepped away, waiting for one of her friends to open the door for them.
It didn't take long for somebody to open the door for the two girls. About a couple seconds after the knock, a male goth opens the door for them. The goth who answered the door has black hair with one part of it dyed red, and wore a black tank-top with dark gray pants. As Crystal had mentioned, this person was Goth Boy.
With a sigh, the goth spoke. "Crystal, I'm so glad you can make it." Goth Boy said in his usual monotone voice. He then took notice of Katie standing next to the rebel. "Oh...you brought your friend..."
"Nice to meet you too, Goth Boy..." Katie said, clearly sounding sarcastic. "Not happy as always, huh?"
"Not really..." The sound of knocking could be heard nearby, causing the goth to become slowly annoyed. He then turns towards the side of the house, glaring at the path that leads to his backyard. "...Doesn't help that asshole Ray's friends with isn't getting it through his brain that he's not hanging out with us."
"Let me guess...is it him again?" Crystal asked.
"Pretty much..." Goth Boy looks at Crystal, before pointing towards the side of his house. "Should I tell Yuki to go kick his ass?"
"Nah...let me do it." Crystal walks off of the porch, before looking back at her two friends behind her. "Besides, I miss shoving that dude into the trash-bin whenever I see him. It'll be totally worth it to try that again."
"Wh-What? Are you guys serious?" Katie asked, clearly not happy with this idea at all. The tomboy walks over to Crystal, stopping her before she could do anything. "Okay. No way am I letting you go over there and putting him into a trash-bin."
"Well, what do you want me to do? Go up to him and tell him to get lost?"
"Yes."
Crystal scoffs while rolling her eyes. "Whatever..." The two tomboys continued to walk towards the side of Goth Boy's house.
The two looked down the pathway that was there, seeing that somebody was standing by the dining room window, knocking on it. The person standing there has black messy hair, and wore a black jacket with a dark purple t-shirt underneath, and light blue jeans. When she saw this person, Crystal grew annoyed, knowing that she and Goth Boy had to face this man constantly back at the Royal Academy. Katie knew who this man was too, but never really talked with him all that much.
After a couple moments of standing there, Crystal decided to walk over to this person so that she can confront him. The rebel taps the man on his shoulder, causing this person to turn towards her. When he turned to her, Crystal glared at him, and pointed directly at his face.
"How many times do me and Goth Boy have to deal with your sorry ass, James?!" Crystal asked angrily. "You're lucky Yuki isn't the one who's confronting you about this!" The rebel then points to the window. "Also, you're knocking on Goth Boy's window now?! Really?!"
"What?! I thought Goth Boy and the others could t hear me inside!" James said. "I thought they had music blasting loud in there, so I went over here so that they can see me and let me in."
"Yeah, sure..." Crystal steps closer, still glaring directly into James's eyes as she did. She balled her fists, before stepping even closer towards the man. "It doesn't matter what Goth Boy or the others are doing that's not getting making them hear you in there, but I'm just going to drag you to the nearest garbage can, how about that?"
It was at this point, Katie decided to jump into the argument. Quickly, she came out from behind the wall, walking over to the two, not wanting any sort of fight to break out between the two. The tomboy went in between the two, causing Crystal to take a couple steps back away from her best friend.
"Crystal...let's just let James leave on this one, and let's not kick his ass." Katie told her best friend while glaring at her.
"Thank you." James said, giving Crystal a smirk. He believed that Katie was on his side on this one, but that wasn't until the tomboy turned towards him with a glare.
"James...you seriously need to move on from trying to hang out with those other goths, dude. Just be happy that Ray and Raven are two of your friends from there and that's it." Katie told James. "Clearly, Goth Boy, Yuki, and Crystal don't like you all that much...and it's probably only best that you quit." Katie then rubs the back of her head, before continuing. "I...might be unable to change your mind, but whatever gets you from not getting your ass kicked by one of those three...again."
James was about to object, but knew Katie was telling the truth. The more he thought about it, having Ray and Raven as two friends from the goths was probably better anyway. Now that he thinks of it even more, he can't really imagine handling Yuki insulting him and threatening to bite his face if he does something stupid, let alone Crystal bullying him. He hated thinking about those two things.
Sighing once more, James nodded his head. "I...probably should just go then..." The man said, before walking off to the sidewalk.
"Yeah, you better get out of here!" Crystal shouts whiling pointing at James as he left. She then turns towards Katie again, before sighing. "Thanks...I guess...could've handled him myself."
"Crystal...I wasn't going to let you harm him." Katie said. "Besides, don't you know his best friend works at the SPA Agency?"
"Whatever, dude..." Crystal then looks over to the house next to her, before Katie decided to head off home.
"Anyways...I should probably be getting back home now. It's been fun while it lasted." Katie then walks passed Crystal, before looking behind herself one last time. "I'll give you a call later, alright?"
"Alright." Crystal waves to her best friend, as Katie heads off back home. The rebel then sighed, before walking into Goth Boy's house to hang out with her other friends.
With Katie...
The tomboy just causally walked down the road, trying to make her way back to her house. Thankfully, her house was a couple blocks away from Goth Boy's house, so she didn't have to be worried about getting lost in the neighborhood. Though, since her house was only eight blocks away from where she was at, it was still too far for her to walk on foot, and she was getting tired of walking at this point. So, instead of walking, Katie pulls her skateboard out of her backpack and began to ride it back to her house.
While she was skateboarding back to her house, Katie rode along the sidewalk, avoiding and jumping over anything that was in her path. She skated on top of benches and jumped a couple times. It seems like all was going fine with Katie, but that was until she reached the corner of the block that she was on.
Katie was about to speed off of the sidewalk and onto the crosswalk, until somebody came walking out of the apartment building that was on this block. She was unfortunately unable to stop in time. Seeing she was going to crash into this person, the tomboy closes her eyes and braces herself. Before she knew it, she bumps right into the man, causing both of them to collapse straight to the ground.
After the two fell, Katie lifts her head off of the ground, then looks over to the person that she crashed into. The person has red spiky hair with some hair visible on his chin, and wore dark blue sunglasses with a black leather jacket, a white t-shirt underneath, and dark blue jeans. Katie sat up from the ground, as the man rubs the side of his head while glaring at her. The man sat up, pointing at her angrily.
"Watch where you're going, chump!" The man said, before standing up from the ground.
"Jeez, sorry dude." Katie said, before picking up her skateboard. "No need to get pissed with me all because of an accident."
"Whatever, you should've been watching where you were going on that thing."
"Well I wasn't able to stop. I was going too fast." Katie then places her skateboard back into her backpack, before glaring at the man again. "Look, I don't have anytime for arguing with a chump like you anyway."
Not wanting to deal with this person, Katie proceeded to walk off. The man who she crashed into was about to go after her so that he can complain to her about what she did, but changed his mind. He had somewhere else to be right now anyway. With an annoyed sigh, the man went over to a nearby motorcycle, then places a helmet onto his head.
'Some girl...calling me 'chump'. I'm the one who calls people that...' The man said in his thoughts, before getting onto the motorcycle. 'I wonder who she is, anyway. I never seen her around Simport before.' After he places his helmet, the man starts up his motorcycle and then began to drive off somewhere.
