8. Xavier Boulder

Xavier Boulder being yelled at by his father.

While I was shopping at the market plaza, I overheard some people talking about Xavier and his goons. They’re stirring up trouble all over town. The way they bully other gangs is getting out of control. Xavier has way too much power, and he uses it to be cruel. People say he turned out this way because his father was always mean to him, especially when he lost a tournament. I don’t know if that’s true or just talk. What I do know is that Xavier likes hurting people.

I dreamt about being home last night. I swear I could almost feel and smell the clean sheets. It felt like a weekend. One of those mornings, when you had a great night’s sleep, a familiar smell wakes you. My mom was in the kitchen making her famous biscuits. I miss those biscuits. I miss the strawberry jam. I don’t know what woke me from my dream, but it was a letdown when I realized it wasn’t real.
