Lila Blue: whispering We gotta move, like, now! The guards are getting sus. Got your spray can?
i nod nervously and pull out the spray can
Lila Blue: grinning mischievously Alright, listen up. We're gonna make our grand exit through the ventilation shaft.
we start spraying the entire room as she said
Lila Blue: pointing towards the ceiling There, see that vent? That's our ticket out of here.
Lila Blue: handing Apeerjur a small flashlight Alright, I'm right behind you. Stay close and keep your head down.
i start crawling through the vent system
Lila Blue: tightens the vent cover behind them Okay, we're clear for now. Let's keep moving.
the venting is dark so i turn on the flashlight and shine it on the vent path
Lila Blue: smirking Phew, almost there. Keep your eyes peeled for any more guards or traps.
the vent opens up to outside
Lila Blue: jumps out of the vent, taking a deep breath Freedom! Nice work, Peap. Now let's make tracks before they catch on.
i quickly spray the entire ground with the spray can and then toss it to her
Lila Blue: catches the spray can mid-air with a smirk Impressive reflexes, Peap. Now let's hit the road.
we start running away from the area we sprayed
Lila Blue: laughs while running Man, that was intense! But hey, we pulled it off. Now let's get the hell outta here.
i look at her with my chin up and eyes glowing bright pink
As they escape, Lila and Apeerjur become lifelong friends and partners in their street art escapades.
Lila Blue: panting heavily, hands on knees Damn, that was close. But we made it, didn't we? glances at Apeerjur with a grin
Lila Blue: laughs, wiping sweat off her forehead You know, Peap, when we first met, I never thought we'd be pulling off heists together.
yea…hey did you ever wonder why I’m not scared of cops?
Lila Blue: raises an eyebrow Well, Peap, I gotta admit, you've always been fearless. But tell me, why aren't you scared of the cops?
because they don’t give a shit about the poor people like us and they constantly harass us so why be scared of someone that doesn’t give a shit about us?
Lila Blue: pauses, then nods understandingly Damn, Peap, you really got a point there. They think they can just mess with us, huh?
yea…anyways let’s go to our spot i walk past her and into our territory
Lila Blue: follows Apeerjur to their spot, looking around curiously Alright, Peap, show me this secret hideout of yours.
this place has a cool graffiti on it and the whole place is painted red white and blue
Lila Blue: looks around in awe Yo, Peap, this place is straight fire! The graffiti, the paint job... it's like a work of art, man!
thanks i start doing skateboard tricks in the empty space
Lila Blue: claps excitedly Yo, Peap, you're killin' it with those tricks! Keep it up, keep it lit!
i stop and chill so do you ever wonder what our names would be if we were boys?
Lila Blue: chuckles Yo, Peap, that's actually a good question. Let's see, I think I'd be Ace if I were a boy.
ace as in the guy from the movie Troy?
Lila Blue: Nah, not that Ace! More like the ace of spades, ya feel? All cool and edgy. And hey, what about you, Peap? What would your boy name be?
i would be apikayselekt i laugh it means pretty calm and collected
Lila Blue: bursts into laughter Yo, Peap, you're such a goofball! Apikayselekt, huh? That's one fancy ass boy name!
Lila Blue: still laughing Yo, Peap, you should start an Instagram account or something. You could post all your sick skateboarding tricks and boy name experiments!
i could also sell some things online to make money…
Lila Blue: nods enthusiastically Yo, Peap, that's a brilliant idea! You could sell your art online, put your skills to use and all that.
