Fire. I've always loved fire. The flame glistened in front of me. I have always had an obsession with fire yet I still feel fear when near it. As I am admiring the flame I see the motion of a hand clasping and the flame is extinguished.

“You get the vid?” Cayden asks, shaking off his hand.

“Oh…my bad” I mutter.

“Chris!” he says with his voice raised “If I am going to light my hand on fire you gotta at least be ready to record.” He passes me the bottle of hand sanitizer, “Wanna try?” he asks as he lights his lighter.

“Maybe we should stop,” This is already bad enough it would be worse if someone finds us down here we can only get in more trouble.

“Fine, my hand stings anyway” he replies. “Let's find Geo” he says before exiting the tunnel where we hang out.

“Okay” I say as I follow him out.

The morning sun's rays hit my face and I put my hood up doing my best to block them. It is not long before we reach the front doors of the school and I can see the crowd of people inside. I let out a sigh before following Cayden in.

Cayden is shorter than me. I am 5’10”. He has dark brown hair that he dyes often and he's wearing tattered clothes like usual. He has the same red sneakers that I bought for him because his keep falling apart.

We walk into the school and scour the halls until we see Geo on the floor by the brick pillar. I walk to him and smack him across the side of the head, making sure to avoid his headphones and not accidentally breaking them.

Geo is shorter than Cayden, and rounder. He always wears the same red hoodie and jeans. His hair is also brown like me and Cayden’s.

“Are we still goin tonight?” Cayden asks us.

I respond “Yup, see y'all there.” This can only end in us getting in trouble, yet the thought of the thrill makes me only yearn for it more.
