B.

Sitting across from a Black girl wearing jeans, green shiny tennis shoes, a green fatigue jacket with girlie shoulders. On the B train, 3pm. She has lush lips and sad determined eyes. Straight black hair. Carries a light green wallet and a black plastic bag. Smart phone in one hand.###
At Atlantic Station two boys stand by the door, look at her and say something inaudible to me. She smiles. They laugh. Leaving the train while glancing back and taking a swig from a red Marlboro thermos.
