Bright, colorful
lights painted the dark sky like a Pollock painting for three friends. Each
ride at Coney Island had its own parade of sounds and colors. Include the
cheers and screams of the regulars in the Brooklyn spot you had a wonderful
August night.
The
Wonder Wheel’s line had significantly grown in the last half an hour. Hailey
hated to wait for anything but at least Julian’s snippets about the last
Avenger comic had kept her entertained. Appreciation for the tall, lanky fellow
was an understatement and he was the best friend a girl could ask for.
She viewed the
other patrons of Coney Island and viewed pair couples, groups of best friends,
tiny families and tourist who want bragging rights. Hailey was brought from her
thoughts when she heard a voice.
“Hail?”
Hailey turned to
see Malik Jordan, her new guy best friend from summer school. He sported a new
Suicide Squad hoodie and dark blue khakis. He waved at her and in return she
signaled him over. Julian let out a scoff as Malik sauntered over to the two.
He held in his hands two corndogs covered in ketchup.
“Hey M!” Hailey
greeted and pulled him into a tight embrace.
“Hey there punk,
oh hey Julian!” Malik greeted and stuck his hand out for Julian who just
nodded.
“What are you
doing here? I thought you hated Brooklyn!” Hailey asked as Malik just smirked.
“Peeped your IG
and stalked your tiny ass” He joked and Hailey laughed.
