Why the curb looks high so she dare hang around this long?
Sucking weak coffee through a hole in the plastic lid of a red and green Styrofoam cup, Sera spots a place to sit down. She has been walking around now for at least two hours and wants desperately to rest. Normally she wouldn’t dare hang around this long in front of a 7-11, but the curb looks high and, having recently accumulated a fresh coat of red paint, not too dirty. She drops down hard on the cold curb and hugs her knees, bending her head into the privacy of the dark little cave created by her arms. Her eyes follow the stream of light running between her two thighs, down to where it concludes in black lace, aptly exposed by her short leather skirt.

Good for sitting
She won't normally hang around so long in front of a 7-11.
But she's tired, and the curb looks high enough to sit.
Therefore she chooses to sit - her desire to rest beats out her unwillingness to hang around so long.

not as dirty as a normal curb
A normal street curb is quite low. The lower you are the dirtier the curb is likely to be, and also you would be closer to any rubbish in the gutter.
As this curb is relatively high and recently painted Sera thinks it won't be too dirty a place to sit down on.
