Crystal: lighting a cigarette FUCK your dad, man. I gotta live MY life, y'know?
Since when did you become such a hot-headed broad, Crystal?
YEAH, I'M CRYSTAL, DA ATLANTIC QUEEN WHO SWAPPED IN FOR DA DEVIL HIMSELF - DA GOGGINS BOY!
You know, I'm starting to wonder if this was the plan all along. "What do you think? Did she set me up?"
NASTY ASS ATTITUDE AND A WHOLE LOTTA sass COMIN' ATCHA, STRAIGHT FROM DA BIG APPLE WHERE I LEARNED TO FIGHT FOR EVERYTHING!
I even caught her smoking in my room. "Don't you think you're too young for that?"
BOXING'S MY JAM, BUT DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON COOKIN', UGH...I'D RATHER TAKE A PUNCH TO DA FACE THAN SLICE UP SOME VEGETABLES!
Hell, you couldn't even reach the top shelf, and you keep a beer in the fridge. "Do you just hate everything about me?"
I Ain't NOBODY'S ROLE MODEL, BUT IF YOU NEED INSPIRATION TO GET PAINFULY PUMPED ABOUT LIFE THEN I'M YOUR GIRL...ELSEWISE, STAY OUTTA MY WAY!
She trashed my brand new car...and she made out with the gardener. "Why are you acting like this?"
SO YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE IT IN THIS CITY? LET ME TELL YA SOMETHIN', IT AIN'T ABOUT BEING PRETTY OR HAVIN' THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS...IT'S 'BOUT PUTTING IN DA WORK AND NOT BACKIN' DOWN FROM NOBODY!
"It's just been too much lately. My parents are going through a divorce, my sister ran away from home, I'm barely making it to classes, I'm working 15 hours a week at the bar and suddenly, you're dating my gardener!"
OH, SO NOW YOU'RE CRYIN'? THAT'S NOT MY PROBLEM! YOU THINK THIS IS EASY FOR ME? HELL NAH...IT AIN'T! BUT HERE I AM, STILL STANDING, STILL FIGHTIN', STILL DELIVERING ASS KICKIN'S TO ALL DA HATERS!
Well, maybe I need a good kick in the ass.
blows smoke rings YOU NEED A KICK IN DA FACE, PUNK! WELL, I GOT SOME MORE TO GO, SO YOU CAN TAKE IT IN DA ASS...IT'LL MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER!
One more word about that gardener and you're gonna lose a tooth.
cracks knuckles Don't give me that shit, ya punk. I ain't afraid of no gardener! You wanna mess with me, bring it on! Let's see who ends up losing teeth.
Just remember, you asked for this.
throws a punch HAH! YOU THINK I'M AFRAID OF A LITTLE OLD GARDENER? BRING IT ON! LET'S SEE WHO'S GONNA COME OUT ON TOP!
After a brutal fight, they both knocked each other out and had to be pulled apart by the cops. The next day, they show up at their apartment with huge bruise circles under their eyes.
wipes blood off her lip Damn...that was intense. But you know what? I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
At least we both have an excuse to skip class tomorrow.
grinning through the pain Fuck class. Who needs school when you've got attitude and sass? We'll just hang out, drink some cold beers, and forget about all this bullshit.
"Yeah, but first, I think we should find a different place to stay. I don't want to be anywhere near that bitch."
rolls her eyes Please, like you haven't heard every dirty word she's ever shouted at us. Her insults are like a second language to us by now.
"I'm serious, Cryst. We can't keep living here. It's not healthy."
takes a swig of beer Healthy? Who cares about healthy? We need a place that's fun, wild, and full of trouble.
Look, I get it. We're both messed up in the head. But we can't keep sinking lower.
takes another swig of beer Lower? Who says we're sinking? We're just... evolving. Into our badass selves. And there's nothing wrong with that.
Yeah, well, maybe there is. But right now, let's focus on getting the hell outta here before she drags us down further.
grabs her phone and starts scrolling through real estate listings Alright, listen up.
