Chapter 1: It’s a delicacy

“You know, for a holdapper... you seeem pretty amateur.”, I referred to the guy following me, “sneakily”.

“Well, I think you could be a little useful yourself kid. If you just give me that bag I think you’ll leave here in one piece-“,

“Yeah, you know you can join me for dinner if you want. I have literally nothing on my bag except for a box of cereal and a liter of milk.”, I proceeded to tell him still walking.

“Excuse me? I wil slit your throat if you don’t give me-“, I interrupted him and threw my bag at him.

“Yeah you can have it. I really have nothing on me, and my pants don’t have pockets if you’re asking for my money, I don’t even have a phone *Laughs*”, I calmly saud and walked away.

“Wha-what?”, he was left confused.

I arrived at home, and he still wouldnt stop following me. I don’t even have a proper home, what could he possibly gain by gollowing me?

“Hey kid, you can keep your cereal! And what are you doing here? This place is private property!”, he yelled at me, following me inside the rundown apartment builiding.

“Are you seriously going to fooliw me all the way inside? You see where I stay at right? Or are you-are you going to take advantage of me?!”,

“Kid! HEY! I’m not that kind of guy! Geez, Look I’m out of here.”, he threw the creal back at me and left.

His stomach growled, and he looked at me again.

“Ok, you can stay and have dinner.”, I told him.

We went inside, I opoened my rechargeable light and we ate dinner.

“Hey kid, how’d you end up living here?”, he asked.

“Just eat your cereal and go, and I’m not a kid. I’m nineteen dude.”,

“Just curious, it seems you don’t have parents. And why stay here when you can stay in an orphanage.”,

“Why do you think I’m in here?! I’m not accepted in orphanages. They say I’m too old, and the one I was staying in before was burned down. How about you? How’d you end up following me?”,

“I was hungry. And same as you I have nowhere permanent to stay, and I have noone.”,

“So you just steal? You can get a job at that gas station we just passed. That’ll probably help.”,

“*Scoffs* Sure, I’ll check that out tomorrow. So, you go to school?”,

“I do. It’s my first year at college, I don’t know how I got in but... I did, and I got a scholarship. Tuition and yearly payments are free.”,

“Wow, what course you in? *Slurps Milk*.”,

“Pilot, I wanna see the world. And I want to feel free.”,

“Nice. Well I gotta go, thanks for dinner. Also, I wanna try the job you told me about, so please don’t report me yet.”,

“I-I won’t-yet. Besides if I do it you’d probably snitch on me too.”,

“You know it kid, see you around.... if I will.”,
