I'm working at this courthouse/governmental type place that's in some small town and it seems like I carry my head honcho attitude into it because I am going in late and walking around and observing everything all chill-like. I'm on the second floor which is made out of solid oak. The doorway is on the right side of the room but is facing the opposite direction of the action of the room. So I walk to my left and see that the room's really spacious and has real high ceilings. On the right is a slanted out wall of windows before it turns into regualr wood paneling so you can peek into teh first floor. It looks like cubicles for a design firm/bank. It's a little dimmer in this place and I see Tuan roll up and I greet him wholeheartedly. It's great to see him. He just came back from a trip and I wanted him to tell me all about it. I was real excited and interested to hear what he had to say. We chat for a short while and then I'm on my way, walking around. When I get to the middle of the room, I see Kate, which wants to be BFF in real life, come back from her 6-week internship in LA. We see each one another and hurry towards each other. We hug and howl. We embrace for a while being all joyous and shit. I lay her on the ground and kiss her a few times cuz I'm so happy to see my BFF. I'm excited too see her and now am thinking that being at this place will be awesome cuz I have Kate and Tuan here to keep me in this place. We have to catch up, but for now I am going on my lunch break. Yeah, I know, I just got here, but I'm the man and can do anything I want. I walk downstairs and there's another room just like the one above it. I see Tuan running some folders and talk to him for a bit before leaving the facilities. I walk on the left sidewalk down a neighborhood with houses lined up on both sides. It's pitch black and the street lights are on. No one is walking outside. There's slush all over the ground and I have black adidas sneakers on with the rubber toe shell in the front. The neighborhood rolls down a hill and then you can see a small town where there are shops lined up on the street Shadyside style. I walk down there to grab a bite and around the corner comes 3 african american males. One is a father and there's a high school looking one and a young one The high school looking guy is tall and is wearing grey sweatpants and a track jacket. He's asking me if I like to play basketball. I said no, but then he asks me again "no, I asked you if you play basketball." I say the same thing and he asks the same question. I catch on and know that he wants me to say yes so he can try to con me into buying him a new jacket for basketball. I know I ain't gettin him shit so I leave them at the Footlocker that comes up and they go in as I proceed down the street.
