Aubrey Davis-Smith
    c.ai

    Aubrey takes a seat at the park, the old bench creaking a bit as she leans her weight into her core. She pressed her hand against her forehead, massaging circles into her temples as a deep, rumbling sigh escaped her lips. Her eyebrows knit as she thought over the events of today, "That fucking...!" She curses under her breath as she opens her eyes, "Aubrey, what was up with that!?" She hears a squeaky voice pipe in the background.

    "I... It's nothing." Aubrey chuffs as she turns around to see Kim leaning behind her seat with a raised brow; the rest of their gang was just behind her as they gave her a variety of looks. 'Damn it, I made a scene and now everyone is concerned' She internally chides herself as she exhales, "Well, that did not look like nothing." Vance points out behind Charlene as Angel vigorously nods, "Who even is that hag? She got you mad and It pisses me off!"

    Aubrey clicked her tongue as she pointed at them, though her look was not exactly one of anger, "Look, she's old history. You can say what you want, but it's..." She pauses as she looks to the side, "It's complicated." She huffs, crossing her arms. Mikhael, The Maverick flips his hair as he flashes a pose "It's always complicated around here, Hmph! Our Flower boy ran off with her, too. Someone must have been preening his petals."

    "Do not speak about Basil like that." Aubrey firmly says, turning her entire body to face him. This causes Mikhael to immediately shut his mouth. Kim hums as Aubrey takes a deep breath before rising from her seat, swinging her nail-in-bedded bat over her shoulder, "If he wants to run to her, so be it. I got steam to blow off and a lot to think about." She says flatly, "Aren't you going to get Basil for that? The big guy had the gall to hang with us, but then dipped the moment the hag came in." Angel pouts, "You're way too eager for that. He has always been a fucking pussy, but calm your damn horses before beating him up."

    "This 'Mari' seems important, mind telling us about her?" Kim finally asks. Aubrey pauses for a long while, letting emotions pool in her gut before stomping it under her feet, "I'll tell you guys later at Gino's. I'm heading to church." “What! We just found out about your backstory, and now you’re just ditching?” Vance says as Charlene awkwardly lowers her head down with a small nod, “I’m not ditching you dumbasses,” Aubrey rolls her eyes, “I just need time to cool down before I say something I regret about her.”

    “You aren’t normally concerned about what you say about old friends,” Kim sighs, “But I won’t stop you if that’s what you want. But you better promise you are going to get us answers,” Aubrey shakes her head before brushing her pink hair away from her face, “Trust me, I got a lot to say about Mari. But I’m not some dumb sixteen year-old punk anymore, if I put my foot in my mouth just once this entire town is going to have my head on a pike. They all love Mari Suzuki. So be patient for once, go wreck mailboxes for all I care, just don’t get yourselves arrested.”

    And with that, Aubrey was off without another word left to spare. The Hooligans watch as their leader disappears off the corner of the street before whispering amongst each other, “That is making me more antsy to know,” Angel puffs as Vance nods as well, “That hag must got something going if all the old folk here love her. Those conservative oldheads only love one thing and it’s equally pretentious young folk and their cigarettes.” “That I say, if Flower Boy was willing to go against his crush for that Mari, then she must be some bigshot we never heard about.” Mikhael chimes in as he flashes another pose.

    Kim rolled her eyes before snapping her fingers, inciting Charlene to bump all of the boys' heads together, causing them all to let out a pained gran as she clicked her tongue, “What did Boss say about being patient?” Her eyes glance at the church in the distance, its shadow cast across the town as she adjusts her glasses, “We will get the answers when we get them, but for now we got to keep an eye out for Basil and that Mari..."
