She had never been particularly close with Decker; they grew up together and were always civil and courteous. She found him to be polite and well spoken and she couldn’t lie, he was hot. At six foot and change with muscles and bangs framing his face were he not a serpent he would’ve fit right in with the Francis’ and David’s of the Basketball team. Thinking back as she stared at the page in front of her; Mei could remember all the times where she would see Charlie around town, scribbling into a little brown leather book. At the time she never thought much of it but in hindsight it was obvious that he was trying to express his feelings on a page because he couldn’t do it in real life. He was always flanked by that girl...what was her name? Pippa? Poppy? Most would assume she was his girlfriend though as someone who prides herself in knowing everything, to Mei’s knowledge that wasn’t the case. Interrupting her train of thought was the sound of a certain fiery redhead calling out from a window. [color=FD9100]“Hey there, Midnight Rider. Glad the daytime ain't stoppin' ya. You wanna come in, or should I join ya out there? I can share my breakfast burrito if you're dying for a snack."[/color] With a rare smile on her face, the gothic priestess waved towards her friend [color=C652D5]”Get your sexy ass down here. We’re going out and we’re staying out!”[/color] Mei called back toward her girl before returning to the letter. The subject of Charlie’s latest journal was something that was all too sadly close to both Mei and Jillian’s hearts; Allison. December 4th 2016 was a horrid day for many reasons. It was cold, it was snowing, Reagan and most of the other cheerleaders were sick with the flu so Mei and her freshman cheerleading squad were forced to join Allison at the Shining Star competition. Something was different about Ally that day though, she seemed off, not herself. She was desperate to beat those damn Pinehurst Monarchs like her life depended on it and considering how the night ended, with Allison in a body bag, Mei often wondered, did it? As she raised her head from her phone, a set of dark eyes locked with her own.

He was the current leader of the South Side Serpents, a twenty something whose daddy didn’t love him enough so he’s gone a little insane. Big Rey may have been a criminal but he was a part of the community, giving to charity and protecting the area from offcomers who attempted to break the harmony. Rey Rey was an entirely different monster; violent, vile and vicious; all of which he masked behind a handsome face and charming demeanour. Mei was sure he knew more of this town's secrets than anyone else; how else would he get away with the things he did? The horrid man winked in her direction before walking into the nearby park; a short cut to his little slice of hell on the south side; the Edge of Sin. One ReyRey had vanished into the overgrowth of the park; Mei moved her attention to her friend who was leaving her home; a rarity unto itself.
