206 Getting Used to Life (2/2)

”Hey there, miss,” I hear someone whistle at me. ”You wanna go out for a drink?”

Looking to my right, I saw a young man, probably in his early twenties, approached me with his hands in his pockets. On his face, there was a pretty smug and confident smile. Immediately, I could sense that his intent was somewhat malicious.

”It'll be fun,” another boy stopped me by standing directly before me.

”Come on,” a third blocked my left. ”We'll pay for your bill.”

”I uh...” I took a step back, intimidated and frightened by the sudden appearance of these three men. I know well that I am unable to outmatch them in both strength and speed. Even though we are in public, there's just so little that I can do since none of them has actually committed a crime yet.

”Come on,” they each took a step closer to me, causing me to back up. Looking over my shoulder, I saw that I'm slowly being baited into an alleyway.

This is bad...

”It's gonna be fun,” they said once again. On their faces were now lustful smiles as they think that their plan is succeeding.

”You'll feel really good,” the first guy said. ”Especially after you take some of these.”

Slowly, he started pulling his hand out of his pockets, and I caught a glimpse of the white pills that he was holding.

Someone, help! I cried to myself in my mind.

”There you are!” a familiar voice called out.
