The Beginning

“This is so stupid!”

“You’re stupid, Layla.”

The very quick, and notoriously aggressive Layla shot back some thorough comments on Alberto’s physical appearance. Meanwhile, Mickey was cracking up behind a sofa chair.

“Damn Layla, why you got to be so rude? Alberto’s all about to cry now, look at him sniffling over there,” said Lucas.

“I ain’t crying!” Alberto shot back defensively. Once again, Mickey was pounding his fist on the chair, clearly this was very funny to him. Mickey literally laughed at everything, even at things that really shouldnt ever be funny at all.

“Yeah you are, bro,” Lucas jokingly retorted. Mickey laughed with him.

“Okay then let’s go,” said Lucas. Everyone slowly sprung up the way nature programs fast-forward the blooming of flowers - slowly, but eventually. They casually stretched, and then united in front of the door.

“Actually guys, it’s seven. I have to go home,” said Trayvon, “Bye!” The others waved Trayvon off. And then there were seven........
