I Like Me Narrative

I stretch, "me too." I keep stretching til my shoulder pops and when it does I let out a small moan then form a pillow with my arm and look at Colton.
His eyes are closed and he has his arm behind his head and the other one on his chest. He has a little stubble growing on his chin which I love. Guys with some hair on their face is my weakness.
I lean over and kiss him on the cheek. That wakes him up and I soon regret what I did, "sorry. Go back to sleep."
He rubs his eyes, "no, it 's okay."
I nod and turn over on my back. I start biting on my nails and study the ceiling, "why do you like me?" I shut my mouth quick and my eyes widen as I realized what I said. Shit.
"There 's a lot of reasons," he says quietly. "You 're different."

I could use a haircut, but I don 't have the money and I don 't know where one is.
Colton gets up and lights one of the incense cones and places it in a tray. He moves the curtain away from the incense and looks outside. He moves the curtain back and blows the incense to let the smoke out; it 's heavy at first then it slows down into a little strand and puffs. He looks at me and smiles, "the sun is coming out."
"And?" I say while picking at my split ends.
"The snow is going to melt."
I roll my eyes, "no, it 's gonna turn into slush which I hate more than actual snow. And the slush is basically melting snow and ice, but mud underneath cause the ground is wet and disgusting. Besides, it 's December; it 's probably gonna snow again."
"Wow. You always have a negative thought on things, don 't you?" He asks with a pissed-off tone.
I gave him a fake smile, "no, it 's just how I feel about it."
"Well, speaking of December, what do you want for Christmas?"
I shrug, "dunno. Cigarettes, a job, car, haircut. You?"
"Nice list. And nothing really," he holds it there then drops it with more words. "Maybe a date with you." He smiles.
I smile, "maybe."

    Bounty hunter Levi Owns glared at the wanted poster one last time before folding the heavy paper along its deep creases and sliding it into his vest pocket. He loaded the remaining supplies on the pack mule and turned back to his sister-in-law Rose.

    Ten years after you won the 74th Hunger Games with Peeta, during a brief trip to the Capitol, you meet someone.

    I push open the hefty doors of the old Tennessee Cafe for the thousandth time. The warm aromas of fresh ground coffee beans and baked pastries contrast the sharp winter air outside. As I enter the sunlit building, a wave of guilt flows through me. I scan the scarce crowds and find him sitting in the furthest window booth. Adjusting my canvas jacket, our eyes meet momentarily and he turns away, I frown…

    When I think about the old world, only in distant memories and muted daydreams, I mostly think about color. The urban world was dashed in eye-catching colors and neon lights. Nature was slightly more subdued; somewhat monochromatic, yet varied in understated tones of grey, brown, and green. Color is hard to come by, now, with the exception of flame and blood. Rampant fires and firestorms consumed forests and cities long ago, and everyday continue to demolish what was once taken for granted.…

    DIRT, WASTE, AND OUTCAST. The golden men in freshly groomed suits would’ve described the outskirt of this deserted place, yet they still manage to stop by once in awhile. I assumed the destination in which every conscious minds would have resisted to stop here, as the valley of ashes laid between their desires; the yellow city of life, itself. It was early noon under the vacant sunlight when two men appeared, almost solidly, at the rusting door of my garage.…

    I kneeled down on the roof of an abandoned apartment, watching my next prey. I aimed the SR25 American sniper at the person’s head, click goes the sound of the trigger, before I could look up I saw my victim's body lying limp on fresh concrete with at a puddle of blood surrounding them and one perfect bullet hole through their head. Bystanders immediately pulled out their phones forming a circle around the body. I picked up the sniper, slung it around my back and walked down the steps of the building. The Atlanta sun was beating down on my black clothing my long curly hair feeling like fire, I hopped in my all black Lamborghini Gallardo Nera, driving slowly by the body to see if I finished my job, I smirked knowing I will be getting paid…

    School administrators suck. When they informed me their system glitched and I was signed up for the wrong type of Anatomy class, I handled it rather well. When they told me that I couldn't switch and that I and I quote, 'will have to suck it up and deal with it,' I thought, I handled it just as well. Only if you count that the head of baby Cupid in front of the main building would be kicked into the parking lot and knocking a freshmen out cold, handling it well. I felt really guilty that, that freshmen had to be on the receiving end of my short burst of rage.…
