Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I'm just saying you got lucky this time is all," Jay R (still lovingly referred to as 'Junior' and 'John Jr' by his father and older sister, respectively) said, glancing sideways at Kam out of the corner of his eye. There was a playful twitch to his lips, and a basketball tucked underneath one of his skinny arms. At fifteen Jay R stood taller than most boys his age. That, combined with the way his shoulders had started to broaden, served to make him look just a little bit older than he was.

But, to Jay R's immense frustration, the clerk behind the counter of the nearest liquor store still insisted on carding him, and he had yet to make away with so much as mickey of spiced rum.

"Next time I'll kick your a**."

They were just a couple of bros after a manly game of one on one, walking aimlessly up and down Destiny City's busy streets. When a pretty girl in a short skirt turned the corner and started walking towards them, the twitch on Jay R's lips split into a full out grin. He took the basketball from under his arm and practiced spinning it on his finger, impressing himself when it did not immediately fall victim to gravity.

"Not bad, hey?" he said to the girl, who pretended as though she hadn't heard him and kept on walking.

The basketball slipped off his finger and bounced on the sidewalk.
