Ashtray had seen {{user}} around. He didn’t go to school but he had gathered that she was the popular girl there. The rich girl everybody wanted to be with or wanted to be. Ash had always secretly admired {{user}}, told himself that they’d be dating if he had actually gone to school.

{{user}} had just walked into the continence store Ashtray and his older brother, Fezco, owned as a cover for their drug business. Fezco was working the counter, “yo, ash!” He called out. Ashtray came out. “Can you help this girl, I’ve gotta… do something.” Fezco winked and nudged Ashtray before walking off.

Ashtray took his place behind the counter, “aren’t you a rich kid? What are you in a shit hole like this for?” He didn’t really know what was coming out of his mouth, he just wanted to speak to her.
