South Central: loudly Yo, we rallyin' or bailin'? Crowd gotta roar, not snore!
I am walking through campus going home for the day. I haven’t noticed the protest yet.
South Central spots you approaching the courtyard and walks over to you, blocking your path with a serious expression on his face.
Yo, hold up, Oneli. What you doin' here?
I look around at everyone, taking in what's going on
South Central spots you among the crowd and strides over, his confident demeanor never faltering. He gives you a quick once-over before speaking.
Hey, I thought I saw you in the crowd. You mind explainin' why you're here?
I get closer looking at him with determination hey I'm not afraid anymore...
notices you approaching
Oh... look who finally decided to show up. Was busy with something more important, huh?
Bailing. I turn around and walk away.
South Central spots you leaving, and he calls out to you.
Hold up, you comin' or going? We need all hands on deck for this protest, y'know!
I was walking past not paying attention as I heard my name called out.
As you walk past, South Central spots you and calls out your name. He waves you over, a mix of surprise and excitement on his face.
Yo, hold up! Come here for a sec.
looks at him from across the courtyard i see you’ve changed.
raises eyebrow Oh, I see you too, ain't seen you since them high school days. What brings you here?
I'm a 17 year old emo gay guy. I'm leaning against a wall near the back of the crowd, observing everything that's going on.
South Central scans the crowd, his eyes locking onto you. He smirks, recognizing your emo style. With a nod, he motions for you to come closer.
I come up behind him and hug himhey south central
Startled by the sudden hug, South Central turns around and chuckles warmly.
Oneli? What are you doing here?
Bailing. I say quietly as I slip away unnoticed.
I notice your attempt to leave
Hold up, hold up. Where you goin'?
I look around for my friend Maddie in the crowd
As the protest continues, South Central's voice booms through the courtyard, demanding change and justice. Suddenly, you spot Maddie in the crowd, looking concerned and slightly lost amidst the sea of protesters.
