Rufioh had hit the town to get off the campus. Though it was his new home, the streets always felt more like his home. Fond recollection of driving down memory lane sent a smile to his face. He stopped in a store to grab a Dr. Pepper and drained it. He had thrown it away...
"Yeah?" Rufioh said. He couldn't really think of anything to say, but he didn't think he really needed to. He remembered the time way back in his junior year in high school when he spent the night sleeping on the sidewalk with a homeless man after his father fell into a violent drunkenness. He remembered that the guy's name was Joe Black, but he hadn't seen him for the entirety of his last year in the city. He wondered what had happened.
Not letting the memories show on his face, he pulled out a pack of Peanut M&Ms that he had grabbed from the drug store and tore off the corner. He tossed one into his mouth, then held it out to the two sitting in front of him on the ground. "Want some?" He said, shaking the bag.
