Her black headphones were fit snugly in her ear, and were connected to her purple iPod, currently blaring Lollipop by Framing Hanley. It was the best remake of a hip-hop song ever, in her opinion. She was singing the words softly in her near-perfect voice. Glancing ahead, she could see that she was fast approaching the junkyard, and that foreign twinkle appeared in her eyes. 'My home away from home.' Of course, when she referred to her home, she wasn't actually referring to the one where her parents lived in back in London, but Kayson instead. This was her third year living here, and she wasn't complaining. There were kids here who understood her, as well as the adults, but she's never admit that out loud.
The junkyard was unusually quiet, but then again, it was quite early, so she didn't really expect to see anyone else here quite yet. She wasted no time in making a beeline for the utmost core of the junkyard. They were a bunch of old, beat-up cars that had to have looked gorgeous when they were in their prime. Searching the lot for her favorite one, she spotted it, in the same place as always. Luckily it had been dry these past few months, so she didn't have to worry about having water seep into her clothes. This particular car was a peeling black, and happened to be a vintage BMW. As a matter of fact, it also had her name on it, literally. Freshman year, she had spray-painted her name in white on various places of the car, staking her claim. While she allowed others to sit in it, when she was there, they all knew she preferred to be in it by herself, unless she mentioned otherwise, lest they provoke her fiery temper.
Removing each of her arms from the straps of her backpack, she set it carefully atop the car. Opening, she removed her pillow, blanket, and an unopened new book. She leaned the pillow against the door across from her in the back seat. Then, she placed her back in as well, followed by her book, blanket, and self. Carefully, she closed all the doors of the car, except for the one across from her. She knew she was safe here, and didn't have to worry about being jumped, robbed, or any other gruesome action. Covering her body with the blanket, she reached into her bag to pull out a large bag of hot cheetohs, and a bottle of cream soda wrapped in foil to keep it cold. Finally content, she began to read, munch, and drink.
