And that made all the difference

Orange Line to Forest Hills this evening: Three teens, two girls and one guy, are trying to figure out where they know each other from. They figure it out and they start to chat, when one of the young ladies asks the guy where he lives:
Seaver Street! Wooo, Seavey! You must hate me 'cuz I live on Seaver, but I don't rep Seaver.
No, she didn't hate him; by the time we got to Forest Hills, they were trying out secret gang handshakes with each other.

Hmmm... I drove by Forest
Hmmm...
I drove by Forest Hills station not long after 6:30pm and heard a loud bang. Don't necessarily think they're related, but am curious what it was.
It wasn't these kids
They were just having some fun.
Handshakes aren't always gang-related
How do you know they were gang-related handshakes? They said they "rep seavey" and to you that means that they are in a gang on Seaver Street? Couldn't they just have been practicing handshakes like how baseball players have lots of secret handshakes?
Two things
There was a lot more to the conversation.
I don't think these kids were actually in gangs, they were actually pretty cute, but, yeah, they were playing tough. They started with one handshake one of the girls' "homeboys" showed her.
I had a front row seat: The train was surprisingly uncrowded and the dude was siting right next to me.
I know these kids
they axed me to by them some rolling papers and a six pack at the local packy.... Gawd what I'll do for a blunt.
