Black Suede Jacket

By Julio Bonilla

MY FIRST TIME GOING OUT WITH FRIENDS. MY FIRST TIME WEARING A LUCKY JACKET. I NEED IT BACK!

Monday morning. I wake up from my nap and look at time in the car- 2:30 a.m. - Black Suede Jacket.

Then I snapped out of it and realized I had been waiting on 2 friends as if I was their chauffeur.
It was at this point where I decided to drive home. I had lent Angela my favorite jacket and she had forgotten her pack of cigarettes in my car.
I wondered when I would get my jacket back...
