    Kyran meandered into The Loop, the familiar streets and sights barely registering in his mind. He had gotten so used to the neighborhood that he was sure he could walk it blindfolded. Once again, he had gotten pissed at his Bio teacher, she had tried to send him to the principal's office, but the boy had taken a detour and wandered straight out the doors. Occasionally, the security guard caught him and sent him back to where he was supposed to be, but thankfully, the guard was off somewhere else today. He was probably busy sending some other delinquent kid back to where he needed to be. Frankly, Kyran didn't care. He was just glad he could get out without being stopped. As he walked, he pulled a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it up. He took a long drag on it, almost instantly feeling better. Yeah, he had heard all the crap about smoking causing lung cancer and all that other shit, but he couldn't have cared less. Having the tiny rolled tube between his lips just gave him something else to focus on. It took his mind off of everything else. It was a bit like drinking. That also took his mind off of things, but that also usually resulted in him doing something stupid. He never really thought of the acts as stupid, but the cops and his parents did. That was probably why he didn't go home too often anymore... His parents had been all hands-on when he was little, then they had focused on themselves for a few years, but after the cops had brought him home a few times, they tried to be more parent-like. Sadly, it wasn't working too well for them.

    Rolling his eyes at the thoughts, Kyran kicked an empty soda can on the sidewalk. It clattered off, the aluminum making the hollow sound it does when it rolls across a rough surface. The Loop was by far Kyran's favorite place to escape to, but it was never much fun alone. It was always better with another person. God only knew where Avery was at the moment, but Kyran could at least try to get the boy out there with him. Whipping out his cell phone, he punched the speed dial button and waited for the phone's answering machine to pick up. It seemed like Avery never answered when Kyran called. Granted, Kyran didn't exactly call at the best times. The phone beeped, and Kyran removed the cigarette from his mouth in order to leave a message. "Dude, I'm in The Loop," he said. "Get your ass down here. Yeah, it's early, but who cares? We can go wrestle the cats in the back alleyways or something. Just come down here. Bring a friend or something. I'm bored as fuck." Kyran clicked off, knowing Avery would either call back, text, or show up. The two had their usual meeting spot across from one of the easier clubs to get into. If Avery didn't show in an hour, Kyran knew that was the clue that he wasn't going to come.

    In the meantime, Kyran wandered over to one of the coffee shops. He wasn't a fan of all the frilly drinks, he would have preferred something a little stronger, but he figured he could settle for some black coffee for now. The boy got his drink, then headed out. At this time of the day, nobody would really notice or care that he was hanging around the club entrance. Everybody was far too busy with getting to work or wherever else they needed to go.

    Evangeline had gotten used to Chicago. She knew most of the streets and places to be. Today she had skipped class and decided to wonder around for a bit. She did that quite often when she was bored. In the end Evangeline had settled down in a coffee shop and ordered a pretty strong cup for herself. She was just sitting aimlessly as she'd recently transferred schools and didn't know many people yet. She should have been at school for that, meeting new people but the idea of following classes and made the girl wriggle her nose in disgust and managed to get her away from the building she was supposed to be in. Evangeline sighed and twirled the coffee cup around in her hands. Most people around weren't her age and so she had nobody to talk to or pass the time with. It made going out a lot more dreary. She seriously wanted something to do and so she was quite pleased when saw somebody her own age walk in. Not only that, she vaguely recognised his face. The two or three days she'd been at school, she was pretty sure she'd seen him around. She watched him as he ordered himself a coffee and went back out again. Evangeline quickly gulped the last bit of her own coffee down before following him.

    Evangeline was rather cheerful as she made her way toward the boy but she hesitated for a small moment when he went to hang out in front of a club entrance. She looked around for a moment but nobody seemed to really notice him. With a shrug Evangeline made her way over to the guy, fishing up some sigarettes from her pocket. Evangeline liked smoking but she didn't do it too often, just like drinking coffee. It had a bad effect on your teeth and vain Evangeline wanted nothing to do with things that could damage what she considered to be a very pretty face. Checking her reflexion in a window for a moment, Evangeline smiled. Her skirt was just short enough, her highs perfectly high and her jacket matched everything. It hung open, revealing a cute but sexy top, although not too sexy. Her blonde hairs flowed down perfectly. She was decent enough to greet this unknown guy. She put a broad smile on her face and walked up to the other teenager.

    She casually leaned against the wall near the guy, searching her pockets for a moment, pretending to look for a lighter. When she was sure enough she'd searched long enough to look convincing she turned to the guy. "Do you have a light?" She asked, shooting the guy a cheeky grin and a flirty smile. She looked at him a litte more careful now and she was sure she'd seen him at school before. "I'm Evangeline, I believe we go to the same school?" She asked, holding her hand out. She was being very friendly, as she nearly always was when talking to boys. Perhaps she was a little too friendly but Evangeline wasn't known for holding back when it came to flirting. She was confident but not exactly arrogant. Just extremely sure of her looks. She hadn't been a model without a reason after all. "Are you waiting for somebody?" She asked, trying to strike up a friendly conversation with a little casual flirting added to it.

    Kyran had barely been standing outside the club for five minutes when he saw a girl approaching out of the corner of his eye. He paid little attention to her as she drew close and leaned up against the wall next to him. She was close enough that Kyran knew she was going to start talking to him, but far enough away that anybody looking wouldn’t be entirely sure that the two were interacting in any way. Kyran watched in his peripherals as the girl pulled a pack of cigarettes out of her pocket. She took a few more minutes to search the rest of her pockets. Kyran wasn’t super experienced with girls, but he wasn’t dense, either. He knew what the girl was getting at. He knew she was going to-

    “Do you have a light?”

    Kyran turned towards her, quickly looking her up and down. She smiled cheekily at him, waiting for a response. The boy kept a straight face. It wasn’t that he wasn’t interested. He just didn’t want to give anything away just yet. He took a sip of his coffee before answering. “Yeah,” he said, pulling a blue Bic lighter out of his pocket. “You got a cigarette?” Kyran had an almost full pack in his jacket. If this girl was going to use his lighter and hang around for a while, though, he wanted something to share with her to make things a little less awkward. He handed over the lighter, and turned to study the girl as she lit up her cigarette. He wasn’t exactly discreet. Whether obvious or not, she would have studied him. It would only make sense for him to study her back. Kyran couldn’t deny that she was good-looking. He never really knew the right word to use for a girl. He wasn’t the kind of guy to see a girl as “pretty.” “Hot” or “sexy” was probably more appropriate, but for some reason, even that didn’t seem quite right. All the same, the girl looked good in her short skirt and jacket with her blonde hair laying the way it did.

    She introduced herself, then started talking about school. Kyran stared at her, a blank look on his face. Sad to say, he didn’t often pay attention to the girls at school. He didn’t see that as the best place to pick up a girl. Clubs were more his style. The chicks there were more likely to be the kind that would be up for a night of fun. After a few seconds’ pause, Kyran finally introduced himself, though he ignored Evangeline’s hand. He could be friendly if he wanted to be, but he wasn’t that friendly. “I’m Kyran,” he said. “Maybe we do go to the same school, but I honestly don’t know. Can’t say I’ve been around there much over the past week.” He fell silent, taking another gulp of his coffee. Evangeline asked another question, and Kyran took a few minutes to figure out how to answer. “Depends,” he said, studying her again. “Why are you here?”

    Evangeline's mind was racing when the guy took his sweet time to reply. He didn't show much interest but that only got Evangeline more interested. A guy needed to equal her in flirting back instantly or be able to keep his cool. Evangeline wasn't too sure if he was interested but he was certainly worth her time. When he answered after taking a sip of his coffee and asked for a cigarette, Evangeline held out her pack to him. She was about halfway through but had enough to share. She took his lighter and lit up her own cigarette and sighed contently. "I needed that." She said as she handed the lighter back and leaned her head back for a moment. She kept herself from smiling when she saw him check her out from the corner of her eye. She obviously still had it. She ran her free hand through her hair and put her purse on the ground. Too much bother to hold that in her hands when she wasn't exactly planning on leaving any time soon.

    She wasn't put off by the fact he wouldn't shake her hand, not everybody rolled that way after all. She listened as he introduced himself as Kyran. When he admitted he didn't spend much of his time at school Evangeline shrugged indifferently. "Ah well, if you've seen one school, you've seen them all. I honestly wonder why I bother with it in the first place." Evangeline said and watched him take another gulp of coffee. She waited silently for him to respond, enjoying her cigarette in the mean time. He'd answer sooner or later right? When he did answer it wasn't exactly a clear one. Evangeline looked him up and down rather obviously at that point and leaned back against the wall with a flirty smile. She wanted to have some fun and so she'd try to get the guy interested, if he wasn't interested yet. "Why am I here?" She asked with that same flirty smile. "Well, I just thought you looked like you might have a light. I figured we could talk a bit and maybe hang out later. Unless you have something better to do already, ofcourse." She said casually. She looked at the people on the streets, and smiled. "You know, saving the world, going to school or some secret job for NASA. You never know what kind of person is behind a handsome face like yours." She said and smiled at him cheekily.

    Evangeline got silent at that point, watching the people on the street passing by with a slight smile on her face. She was enjoying the silence and patiently waiting to see if he wanted to continue the conversation. She knew she wanted to but she had to make sure she wasn't the only one interested, even though Kyran had shown signs of interest. Evangeline had seen him checking her out, which was a good start. He'd allowed her to use his lighter, which was another good sign but Evangeline had learned to be patient and wait for an obvious answer to her flirting. If guys choose to ignore it for a long time, they usually weren't interested and weren't optional for having fun. If the guys were interested, they usually let it know one way or another so that was what Evangeline was waiting for. She hoped this guy would be at least minorly interested because he didn't seem like one of those good guys at school, who wouldn't break a rule if their life depended on it. Evangeline liked bad boys or just guys with a wild or adventurous streak in them.

    Evangeline held out her pack of cigarettes, and Kyran gladly took one. She lit her own cigarette before handing back the lighter. Kyran flicked it, lighting his own cigarette. He took a long drag on it, feeling the effects of the nicotine streaming through his body. It was an odd combination with the coffee the boy had already drank, but it wasn’t one he hadn’t experienced before. Holding the cigarette off to the side, he gulped down the rest of his coffee. After tipping the Styrofoam cup upside down to get out the last few drops, he chucked it towards the corner garbage can. He missed, but he just shrugged, figuring he’d pick it up later. Evangeline didn’t seem too put off by the fact that Kyran didn’t immediately show interest. In fact, from the look in her eyes, the boy could swear she was more interested. That was exactly what Kyran was going for. The girls who were actually interested in him were the ones who would keep flirting with him after he apparently showed a lack of interest.

    Evangeline commented on his lack of interest in school, and Kyran couldn’t agree more. School definitely seemed like a waste of time to him. Everybody said it would help him get further in life. It would help him get a job, and all that shit. Why waste his time and be miserable now, though, when his happiness later wasn’t guaranteed? Evangeline finally answered his last question with a flirty smile. Kyran was good at feigning disinterest, but he wasn’t so good when it came to flirting back. All the same… “You ever been here?” he asked, pointing to the club behind him. “It’s easy getting in. You want to come tonight?” Kyran had never invited a girl to go with him before. It was more his style to go on his own (or with Avery) and pick up a girl while he was there. This girl definitely seemed interested, though, and at that point, Kyran figured they could have some fun. Evangeline looked out at the street and started talking, her words brining a smile to Kyran’s lips. “You know, a fashion model, a party girl, or some secret job for the CSI. You never know what kind of person is behind a face like yours,” he answered.

    He paused for a few seconds, trying to figure out where to take the conversation from there. He wasn’t good at flirting, but perhaps he could at least strike up a normal conversation with Evangeline. That would be better than nothing. “You told me why you’re here,” he finally said, “But you didn’t tell me why you aren’t in school. What made you bail out today?” It was a sad start to a conversation, but it was something. Figuring out why Evangeline had skipped would help Kyran figure out what kind of girl she was. She clearly had at least a little bit of a wild side if she wasn’t following rules. That was certainly something Kyran liked in a girl. The rest of her personality, though, would be a mystery until the boy got her talking more.

    Avery had just hopped out of bed and was getting ready to take a shower when he noticed the vibrations of his phone sending it scurrying around his counter, not knowing who would be texting his phone he went ahead and answered it rather than waiting until he got out of the shower as he would normally do. He unlocked his phone to see the text from his cousin, apparently wanting to meet up. Avery didn’t have anything better to do so he shrugged and went to shower, now with a place in mind to head afterwards even if it was out of the blue like that.

    Avery’s relationship with Kyran was one that he really didn’t understand. The guy was both family and not family since he was the nephew of his foster parents, and really had no ties to Avery but he stayed around and became friends with him anyway. It felt nice to Avery, but at times made him wonder why anyone would want to put up with him when they didn’t have to. It wasn’t like he was a generally reliable or trustworthy guy, nor did he tend to have many redeeming qualities about him except for the fact that he did enjoy having fun and that he could be witty at times. That didn’t seem to matter to Kyran though, he treated Avery like family.

    Avery quickly headed over to The Loop, which was actually pretty far away from Avery’s home so quickly wasn’t really that quick here and Avery’s idea of quick wasn’t generally other people’s ideas of it either so it took a good bit of time but he still made it within an hour to keep Kyran from thinking he wasn’t going to show.

    When he arrived, he saw something that he didn’t quite expect. Kyran was with a girl. Whether he had met the girl there or invited her, Avery didn’t know but he still smirked at Kyran having a lady friend around him.

    Walking up to them, hands in his pockets, he spoke up, ”So what is going on here?’ He asked still smirking as he reached the pair of them.

    ((Sorry it is short and terrible. XD Just wanted to get it up for you guys.))

    Evangeline looked at the club Kyran talked about. She thought for a moment when he asked if she'd been there before. She vaguely remembered the place and so she nodded. "Yeah, I've been there a few times. It was fun for as far as I remember." She said with a smile. Her smile grew as Kyran invited her to join him. "Tonight? Sounds like a good plan." She replied. She didn't have anything planned so it wasn't like she had to cancel things. Apart from that she might just have done that, if only to see how things would work out. She quickly took another drag of her cigarette while waiting patiently for the conversation to continue. She, however, had not expected his retort to her flirty comment and so she instinctively wrinkled her nose at the mention of fasion model. Evangeline didn't mind the job but people seemed to think models were supposed to starve themselves and a few other strange things. It was a total nightmare from time to time, although she had loved her job when her parents hadn't been nagging to her about it. By now she was a retired model, although she still had her looks. Now, the party girl, she was on her way to become that and his CSI comment made her smile. "Saw straight through my cover." She said with a wink, making it obvious she was joking.

    When Kyran asked her why she was skipping school she merely shrugged and took another drag from her cigarette. "I don't see much use in education as my parents made it pretty clear I can make enough money with my face." Evangeline said, rolling her eyes. "Yet they always get upset when they hear I'm bailing out again. The mere anguish it gives them is a very good motivator for staying out of school." Evangeline replied with a grin. Irritating her parents was a hobby of sorts for the girl and she loved it when she could see or hear her success. Hanging up on her parents when they called was by far the most fun thing Evangeline could do to them, if you asked her. Evangeline was curious why Kyran wasn't in school but she figured he just didn't want to bother with it, like most of the people she knew. Education was consider overrated yet she considered asking him anyway, wondering if her suspicions were true.

    Just as Evangeline was about to open her mouth, another boy came their way. Evangeline waited silently, watching the new arrival as he greeted them. He obviously knew Kyran, that much was obvious for anybody to see. His smirk told her something was unusual about this situation in his eyes. A smile crept on her face as it dawned on her that this new guy might not be used to seeing his friends talk to girls, or not in this situation at least. She looked at the new guy with a grin on her face. "I was just talking to your friend. Does that surprise you?" She asked with a slightly challenging smile on her face. Was he going to laugh at his friend? Evangeline took another drag from her cigarette, leaning back against the wall and closing her eyes for a moment. "Feel free to pretend I'm not here." She said casually to the boys so they could greet and, if wanted, exchange meanful looks as she knew people tended to do in situations such as this one.
