Hey guys, so I decided as a way of thanking the first few people commenting on my story that I would mention their story in my upcoming chapters. Do check them out.

So this chapter is dedicated to annoxy24 who's was the first comment on my book and amgelicaascoe who was the first voter.

Book: Fate's Game.
By annoxy24

A dystopian sci-fi book in the year 2070 where people's fate is being controlled.

I made it safely to my house without anyone noticing. I took out the keys from my bag and opened the door quietly and got inside and locked the door behind.

I checked my watch. Two hours. Two hours had been wasted by following Alex and talking with John even if we did not talk that much. How will I spend the rest of the day?

I spent some time watching youtube videos. Doing some reading . And again some more YouTube videos.

I had texted Ella that I have reached home but I hadn't got any reply yet.

It was already lunchtime. I was feeling so hungry. I decided to go down to the kitchen and find something to eat. I opened the fridge and found some mushroom soup. I took it out along with some chicken salad. I heated them both and poured the soup with some croutons into a bowl and took some salad on a plate.

I loved mushroom soup. It was creamy tasty and homemade yum. I had the soup and ate my salad slowly. Savouring the taste of both of them. My stomach felt satisfied with what I had but I wanted some french fries.

So I looked up a video. I took the potatoes and cut them accordingly. I heated the oil and put the fries in it.

I hope it does not burn.

The smell of the fries filled the room. I was being impatient. When will these fries turn golden brown? Can't I take it before it turns golden brown? I took some tomato sauce and poured some onto a plate. As I waited for the fries to be cooked. I started to satisfy myself with the sauce. It tastes so good. How could I stop myself?

Once it turned golden brown I took them out and turned off the heat. I placed it on a tissue paper so that the excess oil is removed. After a good few minutes, I took them from the tissue paper and placed them near the tomato sauce.

Now it's time to test whether I can cook something properly.

I took one french fry and looked at it carefully.

Hmm, it does look normal. I guess I can eat this. I dipped it in the tomato sauce and put it in my mouth.

I chewed and chewed and chewed.

It tasted good. I nodded my head approvingly. I did make it without burning it but I can't tell mom that I made French fries perfectly after skipping school for spying on my brother.

So this is how you make French fries.

I turned the heat on and made a few more fries, patiently waiting for it to turn golden brown.

I placed them on a  tissue paper and then placed them on my plate pouring some more tomato sauce. I washed the pan so that mom doesn't suspect anything and I kept it back safely. I kept the rest of the potatoes back in the fridge and cleaned the kitchen island and checked if there was any sign that I was here.

No sign. Everything cleaned up.

I sat on the kitchen island and ate the French fries peacefully. That's when I heard the sound of Alex bike.

Oh my God! Why is he coming home now? It's not even 2 pm.

He can't see me here. My face turned pale. I quickly took the French fries and ran to my room hoping he wouldn't get the smell of the fries and suspect something.

I heard the door opening and him getting inside. I quietly closed my door and locked it and sat behind the door holding my breath. My heart was beating faster and I was getting the fear of getting caught and thoughts on how it would happen. My mind began to think of an excuse to tell Alex sawt me.

I will have a heart attack if this does not stop. I heard the sound of him climbing the stairs. I didn't move. I was glued to my spot.

"Yeah I got it", I heard him say.

Probably on the phone.

Is he talking about the gun?

I almost had forgotten about the gun.

Now the same questions came rushing into my mind.

Why does he need a gun?

Is he in a gang or something?

Is he gonna kill someone?

Is he...

My thoughts were interrupted when I heard his voice again.

"Yeah, it's safe with me. No one will find out. I will keep it safe. Now allow me to sleep for some time. I have not slept in days due to the night mission".

Bloody hell

What does he mean by night mission?

What does he do at night instead of sleeping?

Is he really in a gang?

"Yeah I know today is the last day for the mission so let me get some sleep okay?", I heard Alex saying that angrily.

Now the only way to find out what he is up to is to follow him at night.

Today I will not be getting my precious sleep.
