Antonio took a deep breath of fresh air and breathed out. The only time he felt less stressed was when he was alone. Or at least alone in the junk yard. Antonio sat on a pile of old mattresses, contemplating about his life and were to go from here. 

He had never really thought about his future. When he was in [i]The Dragons[/i], he thought he would die before finishing highschool. The awful fights the dragons had gotten into killed most of his friends and people he cared about. Once he moved away, he somewhat lost his purpose in life. He missed belonging to a gang. A tough one at that. He needed to find someone to hang with.

He sat up and stretched, scratching his back and trying to get his mind into something happier. 

[color=fff200]"Think, Antonio, think..."[/color] before he could come up with anything, he heard a couple voices coming towards him. What were they doing on his turf?!

"Yeah, I know, it's crazy right? Something is up and I wanna find out." One called out.

"Is that why everyone is acting weird? I just thought it was a full moon until their behavior continued."

[color=fff200]"HEY!"[/color] Antonio yelled. [color=fff200]"What are you doing here?! This is [i]my[/i] turf! Buzz off!"[/color] Anotio picked up a metal pole and pointed it at the two bystanders. The boys put their hands up in fear.

"Hey, hey, hey! Chill out dude we mean you no harm! But, could I ask what you're doing here alone?" The one with the green eyes asked.

Antonio puts down his pole and tosses it aside. [color=fff200]"Well, uh, I've been thinking about joining a gang or making my own. Just like old times before I moved. What's it to ya?"[/color]

"Joining a gang, huh? That's new..." The boy with brown hair rolled his eyes.

"Shut up, dude. Maybe he can join us? He seems super tough." The two boys take a few steps back, whispering to eachother. They come back smiling.

"Ok, you can join us. Welcome to the Slicks, Antonio. Tomorrow night, meet us here at the junkyard, ok?" The boys wave and take their leave, disappearing behind the garbage.

Antonio didn't quite know how to feel. On one hand, he finally gets to join a gang! His life is back on track! But he couldn't tell if this was a trap or if the strange boys were serious. The only way he would find out was to come back tomorrow night.
