Weird.

I said sorry.

Meh.

Probably just guilt.

It's sad to think that he hangs out with that cronch loving fuck.

I rode back to Domino's to get more pizzas to deliver.

Delivering a pizza to someone from my school rarely happens. But when it does happen, they'd usually cower in fear. Because, oH LOOK! IT'S THE EMO KING FROM OUR HIGH SCHOOL!

Having labels are so tiring. I just want to be left alone, I don't need any of their unnecessary comments about me. It's just annoying.

I'd rather sit alone at lunch than be in a crowded table with a bunch of strangers.

Although..

It wouldn't hurt to have at least one person to be with me.. right?

I parked my motorcycle just infront of the shop.

I entered through the employees' only door. I sighed, as I took my bun off.

"Anymore deliveries Jerry?" I asked a guy who also worked there. He's a guy who's a little shorter than me. He has blue eyes, wavy brown hair, and he seems like a wimp. I heard that he wasn't from here. I think he's from Middle Borough???

"Uhm n-no, I-I don't think so, ask M-micha" he cleaned the workplace.

"Cool, HEY MICHAEL, DO WE HAVE DELIVERIES?" I asked him. I waited him to answer.

"NOPE! YOU CAN LEAVE NOW CONNOR" He yelled back.

"Kay thanks!- oh wait! Micha, you got more of the good stuff?" I approached him.

He's kind of like my dealer.

"Oh yeah dude, I got some behind that cabinet. Grab as much as ya like" he slurped in his slushie.

"Cool, thanks" I said before grabbing a bunch and stuffing them in my satchel.

"Bye" I said before leaving.

¤¤¤

"I'm home" I opened the door.

"Ugh.. you're here" Zoe, my sister, rolled her eyes at me. What a bitch.

"Wow.. it's nice to meet you too" I scoffed.

I hate being home. Weed makes it a little better. It makes me wash away my problems.

I rushed to my room and locked the door.

I took a hit from my blunt.

I puffed out smoke.

"Aahhh... nothing like the intoxicating smell of weed" I chuckled a bit.

"Heh... this shit works fast" I took another hit.

"CONNOR IF YOU'RE SMOKING AGAIN, MAKE SURE TO OPEN THE WINDOW!" I heard Zoe's muffle voice scream.

"FUCK OFF" I chuckled before puffing out clouds of smoke.

My room started to smell like it too.

My mind started to drift away in a far away place.

"Hey Evan, do you want some biscuits?"

"Y-yeah s-sure, I like biscuits- but not all biscuits, m-maybe tree sh-shaped biscuits- t-that's not weird r-right?" I stuttered while playing a game.

"You have tree shaped biscuits?" He let out a soft chuckle. "That's adorable"

"T-they're on the top c-cabinet on your left" I instructed him.

"I.. I can't.. reach it!" Jared said as he tried to reach the biscuit box. I paused the game and approached him.

"H-here, I c-could get it m-myself" I tried to tiptoe. I'm a bit taller than Jared.

I took the biscuit box and opened it up. I gave him a packet and took another one for me.

"Gee, thanks" he said before opening up his packet. "Y-you're welcome" I smiled.

Since when did I struggled with opening this?

I tried to open my own.

I can't open it.

I looked at Jared, who's eating his chocolate filled tree biscuits.

Come on Evan, just ask him to open it for you.

I opened my mouth to say something but closed it again.

What if he makes fun of me?

No, he's your friend.

But he'll make fun of me.

No he won't Evan! Just ask him to open the packet for you! Man up and stop being so awkward!

I fought with myself mentally.

"You need help with that?"

"W-w-what?" I looked at him.

" 'w-w-what?' Evan, I know you're anxious but I didn't know you were also deaf" he rolled his eyes at me.

"S-sorry" I mumbled. He took the packet and opened it for me.

"Here you go, you big baby" he handed it back to me.

"Thank y-you" I said before consuming the crunchy tree biscuit.

I love trees.

"These are really good.. must be why you like trees" he spoke while eating.

"Y-yeah.. I guess" I swallowed a biscuit.

He walked over to the couch and resumed the game.

"B-but J-Jared, I was playing t-that" I mumbled as I sat beside him.

"Did you say something?" Not taking his eyes off the game.

"M-me? N-no way..... José.." I awkwardly said to him.

"Okay...?" He looked at me weirdly before playing again.

"Hey dude, where's your restroom?" I asked Evan.

"Upstairs, near my room" he said while smashing the consoles' buttons.

"Kay' thanks" I went on my way.

I was walking down the hall when I walked past his room.

I stopped just a few steps away from his door. I entered his room.

I looked around.

Alright Evan, what are you hiding from me?

"Oh look bathbombs" I took a couple from near his bed. Why does he even have these?

I went to his desktable. He was hiding something from me. Is it like.. a letter? Is he writing a letter to someone? Maybe it's for the person he likes.

I started searching for things. Nope. No letter.

I saw a couple of small fertilizer bags.

I took them and hid them in my pocket.

"Just something to piss off Evan" I snickered and went downstairs.

"Hey man, I gotta bail, my parents are gonna get mad at me for being out late. Y'know, I might not get my car insurance" I took my things.

"O-oh sure, s-see you tomorrow" He waved at me while he cleaned up.

"Bye! Don't forget to email me!" I said before going on my way.
