The Weekend - Part One
Previous ChapterI woke up groggily to the sound of my annoying, damned from hell alarm clock. I slam my palm on the snooze button for it to cease it's ongoing wails of toured souls from it's demonic presence that has reigned over humanity for too long with it's red, bloody hand of torment. The beast was silenced and equality and everlasting peace was brought upon the land....until I woke up. My head plopped back into the cold, pillow promptly afterwards.
"Saturday...." Flew out of my mouth in joy. I vaulted out of bed and headed right for my bathroom, passing by that book Luna decided to give me for the second life I just granted myself into. Once I remembered that, I realized I started tonight actually, but I'd rather just suppress the hype for now and focus on what's important like my hygiene. I hopped into the shower, brushed me teeth, made sure my hair didn't look like a tornado went through it multiple times got out. Once I did, my eyes again locked view onto that book. Only thing I could let out was a sigh as I reached out and grabbed the book.
As I continued reading, I finished up everything else I could possible need to do in order to finish up starting my morning. This was was really good! Some of this stuff was amazingly interesting. There was this quite long chapter about some "Chaotic War" Seems as if Luna and her sister Celestia were in it against some dude named Discord. The man was..specific in the way he handled things. Chocolate milk rain, rainbow colored land-forms, potato launchers? Wow, they dealt with something alright. Too bad they won and turned him into a stone statue. I wonder if he ever began eroding. I turned on my TV but, only to have something in the background as I read my book. My eyes won't leave a page it's too enticing!
Halfway through a page, I heard my phone start ringing. Once I answered, it hung up immediately. What the hell? I look at the caller ID, it read Unknown with a weird area code.
"Probably the wrong number." I reassured myself. Doesn't usually happen to me often but this was just out of the blue. Yet again, when is a wrong number dial not? I set it aside as I continued reading the book until I got another phone call. I pick it up and check it again, it read with Unknown with that weird area code.
Dude, are you kidding?
I set my phone down again until I felt something rumble. It wasn't an earthquake so it has to be that I'm hungry. REALLY hungry to put it at that. Walking into the kitchen still reading my book, I open my pantry and look for something to eat. Oh, boy, I have nothing to eat. Isn't that wonderful?
Christ, I just really roasted myself. My stomach rumbles again at the thought of roast.
I continue rummaging through my inventory or food until there's a loud knock at my door. I stop what I'm doing and decide to go open it, at the expense of putting my hunt for food to a skidding halt.
"Coming!" I exclaimed. Walking up to the door it knocks again but this time in a rhythm only two people in the whole universe should know. One of those where me. I open up the door and to no surprise it's my close friend Vitoly, who was holding food in his hand. My stomach seemed like it was cheering once I spotted it.
"Vitoly! How's it rollin'?" I asked him as we did our usual greeting. A handshake that then goes into a shoulder bump, then snap. It's nothing special but it is to us.
"Like a BMW. You?" He was smiling like he always does.
"I need some fuel, oh and look!" I pointed at his big bag of food. "There's the gas station!" We both laughed like idiots before letting him into my dorm. He sat the food down on my table and grabbed something from my fridge while I grabbed my book to read while I ate. Vitoly was already checking it out, looking at it with confusion.
"Yo what book is this?" Waving it around to grab my attention.
Busted
"Uhhh..I..I found it in the library and decided to read it. It's friggin' good!" I horribly lied. If he falls for that then I'm completely screwed. Telling them that I got this from some amazingly hot moon goddess and her almost twin sister would have me taken to the mental ward in a heartbeat.
"Oh, mind if I check it out?"
"Eh, whateves." I replied. Vitoly seemed really ecstatic.
He began reading while we ate, he had brought a big breakfast from a local joint not to far from where we live, and it was friggin' godly in taste. I swear, it's like local or family places make more delicious food than the big ones do. I look over to Vitoly who's really into the book like I was, until he swallowed some of what he was eating and looked at me like he had some crazy idea to steal the Declaration of Independence or something.
"H-Holy What!?" Came a scream. I asked him what part he was at.
"The part about that Discord guy. Who the hell can make anything they want from their own imagination and NOT make some hot chicks to be with!? If I were him, we'rd literally would be swimming in chicks!"
"Dude, I'm dating Rey, come on you know this already." I reminded him.
"Your girlfriend is hot, by the way."
"I know that"
"Like, seriously hot."
"Just eat, Vitoly..."
"Okay, Okay!.....sorry."
We continued to slaughter the breakfast he had brought until it was all gone. I felt as if I never ate in days, well, compared to what I usually get, this took the cake. We sat and talked until Vitoly got a phone call from one of his cousins who was in town today and wanted to know if he wanted to meet up. I asked if I could tag along and Vitoly said that his cousin wouldn't mind. I grabbed my phone and my wallet, then we left to head downstairs to meet up with his cousin. We were waiting outside, looking both ways to see where his cousin will drive in from until Vitoly broke the silence.
"Hey man, how's it going with you and your girl?" He asked
"Great, actually." My mouth was half full of syrup drowned pancakes.
"You sure?"
"W-What's that supposed to mean?"
"Look, I'm just saying that you two aren't really that close yet and it's been nearly 2 years" Wait, what is this dude going on about? He's not the one dating Rey, I'm pretty sure I am.
"You two don't hug, don't kiss. She has her space, and then there's yours."
"Vitoly, I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing. Remind me who's dating Rey again!" I was off my pedal right now, hoping this unnecessary conversation would end.
"You are...." He said, sounding defeated. Thank lord, I though that'd lead to something it shouldn't. What's been up with Violy lately, he's been trying to dig past my comfort zone, something I don't ever think of doing. We waited the rest of the time in silence before we spotted his cousin pulling up to us. My friend takes shotgun and I get in the back of the car. I give my greetings to him and he returns them back.
"So, where to Vi?" His cousin asks. I was still buckling in my seat-belt.
"The Boneyeard!"
"Sounds good to me." And we pulled off towards there. I kinda like the Boneyard since it's a food place but also an arcade.
While Vitoly and his cousin were catching up, I was just in the back staring out the window and thinking about what's going to be happening tonight. Which is my initiation for the "Double Life" I had accepted from the night before. I felt really reluctant but I also was filled with tons of curiosity about what I just got myself into. As long as it's not dangerous and I can get my sleep, it's cool. Doing something other than College is a blessing in my eyes really, with all this work they throw at me, which I can understand why but all to do in one day seems like that's probable to finish without my staying awake until the next sun rise. I draw the line there, really.
On the other end, I like this life I'm living and I don't want to entirely loose it.
We all entered into the Boneyard, got our stamps and then found a table to post at while we were here. Vitoly and his cousin went to go play the cooperative games like House of the Dead 2 and whatnot. I choose to walk around and scan for what I might want to do while we were here. Card in hand, I noticed a machine with a big screen on it called "Speed Dial" and it seemed to be one of those games where you have to press the button quickly enough to earn the best amount of tickets. And if there's one thing about these games and I.
I really...really have a history with these games. And I won't leave until I claim victory. I swipe my card and gave the game 5 points before it came to life. A light appeared and started moving around in a big circle, which would fly past a 300 ticket bonus. It was the waiting game, and oh, did I wait. Once I felt it was time, I slammed down on the button and it stopped disappointingly at the mark before the 300 goal!
"Only three tickets, wooptey friggin' hoo hah doo." I deadpanned. I continued swiping my card and playing this game, with only the goal to win, I didn't want to give up on this. I wanted to win so badly. I almost swiped my card again for around the tenth time before getting a text message from Vitoly saying that him and his cousin are at the table ordering food and wanted to know what I wanted. I told him to just get me a pizza but, I had to use the bathroom really quick. Putting my phone away, I looked around to see if I could find the bathrooms anywhere.
This place is a labyrinth.
Luckily I found a person who worked there and she kindly told me that they were just right behind me. I embarrassingly told her thanks and walked in to take a leak. While I was using it thought I saw some shady looking guy walk in to use a stall. I made sure to keep a mental tab on him while I'm here right now. While drying my hands off after washing them, the door opened again, except it was that guy again but with his eyes on me. I tried moving around him to get out but he pushed me back.
"Dude, sorry about that I just need to go and eat." He only made some creepy chuckle at me and took out a switchblade. Was I seriously about to get jumped at an arcade around this time of night?
"Nah man," He answered, "You're staying here with me." Whelp, that answered my question at the very least.
He had both his hands out ready to strike and I tried to find some way to slide past him and get out the door but, to no avail his slightly larger frame was blocking any chances of that happening. This guy must mean some serious business because that sly smirk on his face was all I was staring at. It's almost like it read "I'm going to enjoy this!" written all over it. There is no telling what I might have to do, but it's either me on him that's leaving this bathroom.
Whatever this is, this isn't fun. Not one bit.
Author's Note
I'm super duper sorry I didn't update on May 28th like I should have. Blame it on my intensive procrastination and the fact that I ever so slowly worked on this while I did nothing over the summer and now that I'm in school it was put onto a halt.
Since I don't want many to think I have died I'm going to post this then release the second half later once I get to work on it.
Take it as a hiatus, and again. I'm so sorry.
