It had been a really long day for TJ and Ben. They finally we're done with school and they walked down to the local park to talk about girls and eat and screw around on their phones. It had almost become a tradition of sorts. And most of the time hey had friends like Lamar, Sophie, and Jack to talk with but today it was just he two of them. They liked it better that way.
It was a nice overcast autumn day, with only a slight need for a windbreaker. They got to the park and they sat down at the picnic table that bore the marks of their past afternoons. The only other soul in sight was an old homeless man limping at the other end of the park with a blanket covered shopping cart.
Today TJ and Ben immediately got onto the subject of girls. With comments about Sandra's ass or Alondra's rack: typical guy conversations.
"Bro would you date Haley?
"Hell no, she's a bitch!"
"Man why are women such bitches?"
Unfortunately for Ben that comment came right as the homeless man came into earshot of the two teens. TJ noticed his face grimace at his friends comment, and saw him pull out an umbrella with a silvery tip. He whispered something, the tip sparkled and then he put it away. TJ found it odd, but it wasn't the weirdest thing he had seen occur in this park. After an hour of bantering around and sharing memes the two boys went home.
