Noelle is about to commit a crime that might end with her serving a life sentence: doing graffiti.
Part of a 24-hour creativity event in my server, if you're interested in joining there's a link at the end of the story.
Noelle nervously looked back and forth as she followed behind in Susie’s shadow. This late in the evening Hometown was mostly dead with only a few late-night places still open such as the diner and the convenience store though neither seemed to attract many patrons at the moment.
Still, Noelle couldn’t help but feel like she was being seen, becoming the centre of attention as she nervously clutched at her bag.
“You look like someone who is about to commit a crime,” Susie said.
Noelle sucked in a breath. “That’s because I am about to be someone committing a crime, Susie!”
Susie snorted and rolled her eyes. “This barely counts as a crime. Still, the easiest way to get caught doing something illegal is to look suspicious about it. Do you know what gets bank robbers caught before a heist?”
“What’s that?” Noelle asked.
Susie smirked. “They look like they’re about to rob a freaking bank. They’re all twitching and tweaked out, fidgeting in front of the bank’s security. That type of stuff will get you caught. People notice when you’re nervous and that makes them suspicious.”
“Well…” Noelle bit her lip. “I don’t really know how to not look suspicious. That’s not really something that they teach you.”
“Sure, they do. They make us do tons of public speaking in school,” Susie chided, flashing a playful smile. “Same rules apply: be confident, be prepared, and picture everyone in their underwear.” She winked at Noelle before letting her gaze drop down to her body. “I know that I’m doing that last one.”
Noelle’s face went bright red. “Susie!”
“Kidding, kidding,” Susie said, snickering into the back of her hand. “But I promise, I won’t let us get caught. I’ve done this like a hundred times before and I know all the places where people won’t catch us. You’re hanging out with a seasoned criminal, babe. I’m a regular expert on misdemeanours at this point”
“Seasoned huh?” Noelle asked.
They moved down the street, away from the town’s small commercial core and towards a familiar convenience store on the edge of it. There was a tiny alley off to the side which Susie ducked down, taking Noelle along with her.
Once behind the building, Noelle did feel a little more at ease, realizing that it was very unlikely that anyone would see them down here. Especially since Susie had ducked behind a dumpster.
Susie shed her backpack, placing it upon the ground and unzipping it.
Inside were various cans of spray paint, ranging through all the colours of the rainbow and beyond.
“Favourite colour is purple, right?” Susie asked.
Noelle nodded and yelped as Susie tossed the colour towards her. She caught it, looking down at the small aerosol can. It didn’t weigh very much but this little thing was the largest source of headaches that her mother had to contend with in the name of her strict anti-graffiti platform.
The thought of defying her mother filled Noelle with a strange mixture of emotions. On one hand, there was something to be gained from acting out and proving she wasn’t just Carol 2.0. On the other, she still shuddered at the thought of being scolded.
Though having Susie here made it a little easier to think about acting out.
Susie grabbed a white mask and tossed it to Noelle as well.
“Don’t want you inhaling any of the fumes,” Susie said.
Noelle nodded and pulled the mask on, drawing the straps over her head.
“So, how do you do this?” Noelle asked.
Susie took a step back and studied the wall, rubbing her chin as she did so. She hummed and hawed while tapping her foot against the ground. It was honestly a little strange to see the stoicism that went into her work, the study of the medium before her.
It felt like this was a legit art project for Susie.
“That’s a good question,” Susie murmured.
She reached into her coat and pulled out a pack of smokes, popping one between her lips and lighting the tip.
Noelle’s gaze narrowed but Susie simply laughed it off.
“Nicotine helps me get creative,” she said.
Noelle’s gaze narrowed further. “Uh huh.”
“Would you like to try one?” Susie offered, holding out the pack. “These taste like cherry.”
Noelle studied the pack for a moment but shook her head. “I’m already anxious enough and I think smoking wouldn’t be the best idea.”
“Fair enough,” Susie murmured as she let out a contrail of grey smoke. She then tapped out the ash as her eyes suddenly lit up. “I think I have an idea.”
She came back over to her backpack and ground out the cigarette, placing it back within the pack. She then grabbed a mask for herself and pulled it on.
The sight of the small white fabric pulled tight over her snout, seemingly about to burst open under the stress, was enough to make Noelle giggle. Still, she was at the very least thankful that Susie was taking her health somewhat seriously.
Susie then started to lay out the various cans of paint in her backpack before grabbing a white one and giving it a shake. She popped off the lid and looked towards the wall, drawing a bright white line right across the brickwork. Then she added another and another, creating what looked like a white mound.
“You can start on your work over there,” Susie said, motioning towards a piece of the wall right next to her.
Noelle nodded and moved over. Though now that she stood in front of a blank canvas, she could feel an anxious little lump starting to settle within her throat. While it didn’t seem like much of a crime while watching Susie do it, Noelle still couldn’t help but feel a familiar anxiety start to take hold at the thought of disappointing her mother.
Susie snickered. “Come on babe, I promise that this is a lot of fun.”
Noelle sucked in a breath and popped open the cap on her spray paint. She then aimed the nozzle at the wall and felt her hand tremble.
You can do this…
You can…
Tsst!
Noelle yelped as a stream of purple paint erupted and hit the wall. It was only a small splotch of purple but it was exhilarating, making her pulse hammer inside of her chest.
Noelle’s eyes were wide. “I just committed a crime.”
“You’re a regular mobster,” Susie said, snickering. “They might just send you to juvie for that.”
“Will they!” Noelle yelped.
“Kidding kidding,” Susie said as she shook her head.
Noelle looked at the little purple splotch and then at the can in her hands. She figured that if she was already going to be serving a life sentence then she might as well go through with what she started. So, she began to write upon the wall, giggling as letters took shape. The action of writing had never been more exhilarating in all her life.
One by one, the letters came forth. All the while Noelle let out this dumb little snickering sound with every character painted. Once finished, she stepped back and appraised her work.
School Sucks
All done in a magnificent purple with the last ‘s’ even done backwards for bonus artistic effect.
“What do you think, babe?” Noelle asked.
Susie glanced over and let out an amused little snort. “That’s very punk of you. I really love the backwards ‘s’.”
“The backwards ‘s’ was a very nice touch,” Noelle agreed, nodding with pride. “Imagine what my mom would say if she saw this?”
“She’d probably disown you on the spot,” Susie teased.
Noelle then looked over and noticed what Susie had been working on. Her eyes widened as she saw a design that wasn’t words or something silly. Instead, it was a legitimate piece of art if a little simple in its design.
The white lump turned out to be a hill which now had a small sled heading down it. There were two simple figures sitting upon the sled: one was purple and the other a soft brown in colour. There were also numerous snowflakes falling through the brickwork sky and many trees that dotted the landscape.
“Babe, that looks really good!” Noelle beamed.
Susie snorted and rubbed at her head. “I don’t know if it's really good but I like it. It’s uh… it’s us sledding together. You always remind me of all the good stuff that comes with winter. So, I thought I’d try and do something with those memories.”
Noelle’s cheeks warmed and she looked at her own design. “Well now I feel silly for just writing, school sucks.”
“I mean hey, it’s a true statement so I don’t see any reason you shouldn’t write it,” Susie teased, draping an arm over Noelle’s shoulder. “Though usually a message like that would also come with a really clumsy-looking penis with lots of really gross hairs on it.”
“Well… uh… I don’t really feel like doing something like that,” Noelle said.
Susie nodded and instead grabbed a can of blue paint, giving it a shake before adding to Noelle’s design with something of her own. Her addition was just a simple heart with an arrow piercing through it. The message ‘N + S’ was written within.
“Then how about something a little more sapphic?” Susie teased.
Noelle giggled. “I don’t mind something a little more sapphic.” She looked back towards Susie’s design, rubbing at her arm. “Do you paint stuff like this often?”
“It’s a good way to blow off a little steam,” Susie said, nodding. “Plus, this stuff rarely stays up for more than a few days, so I don’t have to worry about anything bad lingering around for too long.”
“Shame my mom is so against this stuff,” Noelle grumbled.
Susie shrugged. “That’s what phones are for. I can always take a picture if I create something that I want to remember.”
She reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone, showing it off to Noelle. There was a folder on it that was full of graffiti designs. None of them were especially complex but they were works of art in their own right, displaying little scenes or simple characters.
These weren’t the marks of civil decline that her mother claimed them to be but something unique and beautiful even.
“These are so pretty,” Noelle whispered.
Susie shrugged. “I just wish there was somewhere to work on larger designs in this town. I have this amazing project in mind but there’s no way I could pull it off without it being washed off before I finished.” She sighed. “Did you know that in Homecity they have these like… public walls that people are encouraged to put graffiti on? Wish we had something like that around here.”
“Yeah…” Noelle sighed as she looked at the ground. “My mom kind of sucks, doesn’t she?”
“Just a little bit,” Susie teased, flashing a smile. “Though it looks like I’m getting back at her by turning you into a rebel.”
“First graffiti then public drinking then maybe a little destruction of property,” Noelle said. “Before long I might even be shoplifting.”
“If you’d like I bet there are some abandoned buildings we could smash up together,” Susie chided. “I know that always puts me in a good mood.”
Noelle shook her head. “I want to do some more graffiti first.”
She walked over and picked up a can of grey paint before moving over to a fresh segment of wall. A hundred ideas came to mind though she settled on one as she started to spray a few clumsy looking apartment buildings onto the brickwork. Her lines weren’t the greatest but she still couldn’t help but have fun trying.
“How about Susiezilla smashing up the city?” Noelle asked.
Susie snorted. “I’m not going to complain.”
Noelle looked at her but went pale as she realized there was a face peering out from the alley’s entrance, half hidden behind the wall. It was the shopkeeper, studying them closely with one of his eyes glowing an ethereal blue.
“Susie,” Noelle whispered.
“Yeah?” Susie asked before noticing her gaze and following it. Only then did she freeze. “Oh… Hi, Sans!”
“Susie,” Sans greeted with a nod.
“This isn’t what it looks like,” Susie said.
“Really because it looks like you’re gonna have…” He popped out with a broom clenched in his hands. “A bad time.”
Susie stared at him.
Noelle stared at him
He stared back at them. Then he rushed forwards with the broom held over his head.
“Oh fuck!” Susie yelped, sprinting away “Scatter!”
Noelle didn’t need to be told otherwise as she sprinted away, giggling all the while.
