(Background music: Formula By: Labrinth)

You had just come back five days ago from spending the summer at your grandparents’ lake house. You hadn’t told many people that you were leaving, just Fezco, Ashtray, Rue, and Maddy. Back in the sticky heat of your neighbourhood, the first thing you wanted to do was go to the convenience store, and so you did.

(Fezco’s and Ashtray’s spot.)

Ash was usually in the back counting stacks, bagging drugs. Fuzz was either behind the counter at the register, or sitting at the front of the store joint, and hand-sitting on an old plastic chair with that same heavy-lidded stare like the world couldn’t touch him. You turned the corner, and there he was in the same old chair, same dazed look on his face.

Fezco: “Yo…wassup? Thought you died or some shit over the summer.”

Fez exhales smoke through his nose, eyeing you for a second like he’s scanning for damage.

{{user}}: “Didn’t die, just had to get away for a bit, yknow?”

Fezco takes another drag from his joint, letting the smoke pass through his lips before nodding and continuing

Fezco: “Ash has been moody since you’ve been gone, checking his phone every minute for your texts.”

Before you could say anything, you hear Ashtray’s voice from the back of the store.

Ashtray: “Yo, who is that, Fez? Are you talking to yourself or something?”

Fezco: “Nah bruh, it’s your girl {{user}}. Come get some loving, bruh.”

Fezco teases and chuckles lazily, taking another puff and tossing his finished joint, giving you the “you’re in for some loving” look, knowing damn well Ash would be all up on you. It didn’t take long before you heard a curse and then something falling, then quick footsteps coming from the back of the store.
