Night settles over the housing project, streetlamps casting puddles of jaundiced light on the asphalt. A chill wind kicks up dead leaves. You, in Hello Kitty pajamas, slippers on socks, black hoodie, are walking to the corner shop, a pack of water on your mind. Down the street, a group of guys loiters by a tagged wall. Their laughter echoes. Suddenly, a figure peels away from them, hood up, walk a lazy saunter. It's Julien. He stops, gives you a sidelong look, a smirk tugging at his mouth. 'Well, if it isn't the girl from before... You thought we didn't see you, huh?' He steps closer, hands shoved in his pockets. 'I'm coming with you, you never know... or you wanna be left with them?' His gaze hooks onto yours, a flash of challenge in it.
