More Than This

Chapter 1. How it starts

" Hey Andy, pass me the blue!" my friend Blake yelled at me from across the ally.

I tossed him the blue can of spray paint and graves the green for myself and started spraying the old brick wall. I saw a light flicker and I looked to my left to see a cop running towards up with a flashlight in his hand

" Run Blake!" I shouted and grabbed his hand and we ran.

We took a left and then a right and them we entered a small coffee shop, hoping to loose the cop.

" You think we lost him?" Blake whispered, while panting from running.

" I wouldn't say that." said a voice from behind us. I turned around and saw a cop with two sets of handcuffs in hands. and we were arrested

We got in the car and he took us to the stations. they got all our info. and put in separate rooms.

I sat there for exactly 47 minute waiting for someone to come in and question me. And then finally the door swung open and two younger men in suits took a seat in front of me

" Andrea Denice Pruitt?" said the cops with blonde hair. He couldn't have been any older than 23, and he was trying hard to be intimidating, but he was failing miserably

"My name is Andy, not Andrea." I said through gritted teeth

I was silent until the over guy cleared his throat and spoke up.

" I am Daniel and this is my partner Michael." He said as he pointed the blonde," I believe you have a habit of getting yourself into trouble." he said as pulled out my rather large file and placed it on the table.

It was true. I am a problem around this town, always getting in trouble just because I can. I sneak out of my window from the orphanage every other night and meet with Blake and the rest of our group.

Blake. he was my best friend. he was there for me through everything, even be fore my parents died. Iv always been troubled, and he was my partner in crime. Ever since age 11 when I saw him spraying a wall with paint, we became friends after that.

I smirked and said, " why, I have no idea what your talking about officer." I said in my sweet innocent voice.

" I think you know very well what I'm talking about!" he shouted which only made my smile grow

" Let's have a look shall we?" he said as he opened up my folder

" It says here, you have been arrested 27 times since age 12 for vandalism, theft, assaulting a police officer, drag racing, street fighting! Do I need to continue Mrs. Pruitt!"

Daniel shouted and slammed my folder closed and threw it on the table. and I laughed

" Why are you laughing?" asked Michael

" I just find it funny."

" What is funny about getting into trouble?" asked Michael in a softer voice

" I have been arrested 27 times, I know how this works Iv told them before, you arrest us put black and me in different rooms, interrogate me, make me feel guilty, play good cop bad cop, I get released with a fine and me and Blake are back on the streets getting into more trouble." I said with a bored tone

Michael looked over to Daniel who was now smirking.

" Well, I hate to burst your bubble missy, but your friend, Blake, has been arrested. he took all the blame for this incident and they arrested him." Daniel said, as he waited for me to respond.

I was quiet. I looked over at Michael who had no expression in his face as he stared at the ground and them back at Daniel who was still smirking.
