“We don’t have anything to drink,” I say.
“Jaci, you didn’t come here for coffee,” Rosa smirks.
“Yes, I did. I’m having a really fucked-up day. I ditched class again. I’m in deep shit. I wanted to come here, get some coffee and just waste away.”
“Nope,” Rosa says. “You’re missing everything I’m telling you.”
“What are you telling me, Rosa?” I ask.
I watch as she curls the knife blade down into the knife.
She tucks it into her pocket.
She then opens her jacket, reaches into her pocket and takes out a small baggie.
She jiggles it in front of my face.
“This is why you’re here,” she says. “This is how you waste away.”
My mouth almost starts to water.
Fuck… I think Rosa is right.
“Wait,” I say. “We need something to drink.”
“I’ll be right back,” Rosa says.
She hands me the baggie and darts back into the coffeehouse.
I don’t have a chance to go after her.
So I stand outside, clutching the baggie ofstuff.
They’re notzazasin there.
Zazasaren’t a baby blue color.
These are something else.
My heart races a little.
I’m good with thezazas. Those are pills you can easily get from a doctor.
Dangerous? Sure. But I can control how many I do and don’t take.
But these pills…
Rosa emerges from the coffeehouse a minute later.
She’s got a bottle of water and a bottle of orange juice.
“There,” she says, tossing me the orange juice. “Now swallow one of those down.”
“What are they, Rosa?”
“Does it matter?”
“I’m not…”
