Now
This guy puts you in mind of a rabid dog. He has hooded brown eyes that are like two discs of wood. His thick, curly, blue hair is worn in a style that reminds you of a porcupine's quills. He is fairly short and has a narrow build. His skin is china-white.
And this mans name was Zai, but this is all he knew.
Zai
had bruise marks all over his body; scratchs and cuts. He looked like
a walking zombie.
He climbed onto the bus, his baggy jeans
dragging with him.
"Fare." The old women driving commanded and Zai tossed a quarter into the box.
He sat in the back. He was riding to the other side of town; to the park. He'd heard Eov would be there according to a friend of his(hint hint), and he needed to see her. She'd been telling him to come see her for weeks now.
Closing his eyes, he listened closely to the music playing.
Load up on guns and
Bring your friends
It's fun to lose
And to pretend
She's over bored
And self assured
Oh no, I know
A dirty word
He shook his head pathetically as he watched the other worthless people pile onto the bus. It would take about 20 minutes to get all the way across town.
"Can I sit here?"
Someone asked. He looked up to see a boy; a fairly tall boy about Eovs age that wore an odd puff of stuffing around his neck. He nodded in his morbid way and continued to look out the window at those jerks who think they're so great.
Well, one day they'd all go to hell.
He smiled.
This thought comforted him.
With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now
Entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now
Entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My Libido
Yeah
"So, where are you headed?" He asked the boy next to him. "By the way, my name is Zai."
The boy smiled. "I'm Squee. I'm on my way to the park."
Zai smirked and everything clicked.
"You're Squee, heh? I'm a friend of Eovs'. Its nice to meet you, Squee; Eov thinks quite highly of you."
He smiled. "Erm…really?"
"Of
course," He answered, averting his gaze within his eyelids. "Why,
she hasn't stopped talking about you."
Squee brightened, and
grinned widely. "Can you tell me…Tell me what she's like?"
I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end
"She's
kind, caring—Different, unique, dark."
Zai answered the
question casually, like he had been asked it a thousand times before.
"I meant, what she looks like?" Squee persisted curiously.
"O, now that wouldn't be any fun, would it?" Zai challenged, darkening his gaze.
Zai and Squee became fast friends. But Zai didn't know Squee knew Johnny, or that Eov knew Gaz. In fact, he was lucky if he could remember who Gaz was after the incident.
But soon, Zai was about to find something out about his past that he never wanted to revisit.
