James started to respond when his friend Mark slapped him on the back. "Yo, tweaker, wondered if you were dead!" Mark said with a cheerful laugh. Then, Mark lowered his voice and spoke again. "I need you to hook me up with the good stuff, asap," he said. Mark glanced nervously at Emma, worrying that she would snitch and wondering why the hell she was walking with James.
"Alright I got your back," James said. James knew Mark was asking for weed. Mark doesn't even know what real good stuff is like. "Swing over to my house at the stroke of twelve, princess," James joked, a devilish grin stretching his lips. Mark laughed a little too hard, and went on his way. Even James's friends were a tad scared of him, it seemed.
"Sorry about that, don't mind Marco Polo," James said smoothly. He looked into Emma's eyes. "I promise there will be enough time to do your homework, cutie," he chuckled. Innocence flowed from her - it was crazy. She was so ridiculously sweet. They walked out into the student parking lot. "Come on, lets get this party started," he said as he spotted his friend Jose.
"Jose!" he called. Instantly, Jose and the people he was with turned to look at James. James commanded a certain amount of power. He flashed a grin at everyone and gently took Emma's hand. "Mind if we get a ride?"
Jose raised his eyebrow at Emma, and said something in Spanish to his friends. They all laughed. "Of course, mi amigo," Jose said to James. Everybody climbed in to the tiny car. James slid into the backseat, but there was no room left for Emma.
"Come here, pretty girl," James said with a grin, patting his lap.
