"I'm giving you five seconds!" I shouted from outside, still waiting for her to get out.
"You're just wasting your breath." I heard her say from the bathroom but I counted anyway."5." "4." "3.""2!!"I heard someone knocking on the door.Now before I go through the whole "I opened the door." type thing imma just say this.You remember that cousin I talked about."Hey.." A tall guy about six feet with black hair and brown eyes."uh...what are you doing here Eli?" I said not wanting to fully open the door."I could ask you the same thing.." He tried speaking through the door but I blocked him."uhh... I was ...suspended ..yeah." I tried to play it off cool but all that effort was ruined when Miku shouted at Gabriel from upstairs."What the hell are you doing??" "uh...""you got friends over?" Eli began to get skeptical..shit... it's only a matter of time until he decides to push through me-"no-" There I saved itThe conversation got quiet between us just blankly staring at each other as if we were total strangers.".....""..." Eli started to push against the door! I tried to push back but he Is way stronger than I am!I needed to exercise more but inevitably I was pushed back and the door was opened.Eli walked upstairs to see the hallway empty.A few wet footsteps but empty..."You're staying in the guest room?" Eli turned to me with one eyebrow raised while I was recovering from sprinting up the stairs."uh ... yea- ..I." I was still trying to recover and explain myself but Miku came out of the guest room."Haru don't you have any more-......" "Who's this?" she questioned.I just let myself fall to the floor with both palms on my eyes and I just let them figure themselves out."Who am I? Who are you?" "And why does he have a generic British accent?" I couldn't answer that question..."Generic??" great five seconds together and they're already down each other's throats ... this is gonna be fun."You guys ok?" Gabriel walked out of my bedroom in the dinosaur suit he gave me."This is too many people" Eli stopped arguing and started to leave.Great if my cousin leaves because of my friend I'll never hear the end of it from mom."Hey, Eli!" I finally got up chasing after him.I ended up grabbing his arm when he was moments from the door."Hey wait, you came all this way, why leave?? and even if you leave how will you? paying for plane rides is expensive, especially from here to England, come on!" Eli let out a deep sigh and walked back upstairs and entered the guest room with Miku. of course, she wasn't too happy about this."What the hell, why can't he sleep with you guys?" "can't-" "why??""He's gay.""I'm gay-" we both said in unison."Besides we're crowded anyways...." She still wasn't too sold on the idea of a guy in her room and to be honest I don't blame her I wouldn't feel comfortable in that situation either...I guess that's a quarter of the reason why I'm doing this but...I really really can't fit another bean bag in my room...A New morning, new opportunities... at least that's what people with opportunities say.Do I have to get up today... We've been together for a week now and things haven't gotten any better between us.Sure me and my best and Gabe are as close as ever but I and Miku....not so much Eli and her are the worst together sure their fights are silent and passive aggressive but whenever I sit in between the two of them it's like I'm a negotiator and it's up to me to stop a world war before it even started. -knock knock-"Oi how long are you gonna spend in there?" and there's the first knock of the day.I covered my eyes with my arm. Would it be bad if I don't bathe at all today?_______We're just chilling in the living room, me and Gabriel, just the two of us playing super smash bros like the bros that we are.A lame joke I know but whatever I don't need your validation.I was getting bodied by Gabriel's spam attacks when Eli came downstairs looking all over the place."You uhh... you good E
You know in between all of the chaos and the active trouble between my inmates and Eli... I forgot about the most important time of the year.yup, you guessed it boxing day! yeah sure Christmas is good and all but the price drops on boxing day are unmatched, unmatched I tell you!The amount of money I saved on boxing day as a college student is amazing! sadly today isn't boxing day ...today is Christmas eve and I'm going to buy my friends the best gift ever!online of course...I... I can't leave the house .. ...yeah but I have a plan.I opened my laptop and started to go on "Amazing" yes it is pronounced ama - and zing not amazing."What are you doing?" I heard Gabriel come in through the door. I quickly closed my pc and turned to him."You know knocking is a gesture that most people appreciate."Gabriel started to look at me in a way that said "are you doing something you're not supposed to" or "are you planning a private Christmas gift for me?" I don't know, I'm paranoid.We shared
Today has been….uneventful….strange usually I woke up to screaming in the hallway or everyone eating in their rooms.I walk down the stairs to the living room to see my mom still home.…that explains it….."Hey dear." she waved at me with a smile."hey… " well this is awkward."Come on sit with your mom." great now she's trying to make a conversation quickly, make an excuse!"I'd love to but I have to do uh…do something," I said inching up the stairs but my mom already knew what was happening."You don't want to spend time with your mother?" tears formed in her eyes.Those were clearly crocodile tears but it didn't make me feel any less guilty.I ended up sitting next to her…Mission escape….failed._______________New day new opportunities …at least that's what people with opportunities say-Wait, I've said this before…Anyway, I woke up to the casual noise in the halls just the way I like it.Eli left early today to meet this guy he rarely mentions and it was just me, Gabriel, and M
"You must be Jamie." The man smiled and gestured to a seat next to him."Come come sit down sit down!"He was very excited to get this trade over with and make profits.All of Gabriel's courage vanished as he went to sit down in the seat he was tense."So!" The guy went to collect another bottle of beer. "I assume you're here to collect the goods?"Gabriel nodded, still looking around the place a bit nervously."Great place huh?"Gabriel looked startled when the man spoke but he responded."Yeah, it's awesome."The man took note of Gabriel's nervousness and laughed."Don't worry, I won't bite."The man got up and headed to the back of the room it was covered by even more curtains…truly a place for gaming hippies-"I assume you'd want to leave as soon as possible so here-"He dropped a crate full of the stolen items.Gabriel watched in awe as he looked through all the expensive tech in the crate."Believe it or not this is only 00.01% of the actual stuff they stole."They?" Gabriel got
New morning! New possibilities!well it's an afternoon at this point since everyone slept in cause we were up till 5 in the morning but it doesn't matter because, from the moment I opened my eyes, it started out like a normal morning.Well as normal as an extended family like this goes-_Crash_Huh?? Did I wake up later than everyone else or something??I looked at the time on my phone,....it was 3:30 pm."Yup they were definitely awake for longer," I said to myself."Afternoon Gabe," I said as I stepped over him to go outside."Afternoon," he responded before I leftGoing through the door I saw Miya, some guy, and Eli standing by the bathroom door.The guy Eli was with was completely soaked and as Eli was yelling at Miya she just had the "Do I know that guy" look."What's going on?" I asked to hope to calm down the situation but I might be digging myself into a hole even god can't take me out of."Miku threw a bucket of ice water on Brandon!" This is strange …normally they don't answ
Today is a day of you guessed it opportunities!And almost like this was some cheesy slice-of-life light novel. Something has to happen today. I don't know what but something is gonna happen today.Though, unlike a normal day, I'm not gonna be there for it I'm going to stay in my room all day today and nothing's gonna stop me from-And just like that, I found myself downstairs to a scent the gods blessed me with.The smell was coming from the kitchen and that was weird cause I don't think anyone here can cook..especially Gabriel and Eli-A shiver went down my spine as I just thought about it.I kept following the smell to see Miya there."You can cook??" I was flabbergasted, surprised, and amazed at what other words there were to explain how surprised I was.She looked at me in an offended "what does that mean?" as I inch next to her to see what she was making."Can I have some?" I asked eyes as big as a puppy dog begging for food ….well this isn't far off from that.She looked like s
Day breaks and now chaos does too.Never a normal day in this house but today it just got way, way worse lately.It happens more and more frequently though it was just funny at times now it's just concerning."I said give it back!!" I heard Miya screaming from my bedroom.Peeking down the stairs I saw Miya trying to get her phone back from Eli but couldn't reach it.Gabriel was next to them in the living room watching something I don't know what it was. I wasn't focusing on him."Then give me my console back," Eli said calmly.I sat on one of the steps and continued to watch might as well right? What else could I do?."B-but I'm close to beating a high score! Come on Eli, have a heart!""That's what you said five games ago.""I was!""Liar!"__Ring__Ring!__"I'll get it-" I heard Gabriel say as he walked to the door.He opened the door to see a delivery guy."You ordered this?"Gabriel nodded and took the food from him before closing the door in the guy's face before he got a chance t
The day is young and so am I! For now at least.And we're already off to a great start!"I'm BOOOOOORED!" I complained laying on the ground in the living room."Shut up!" Miya threw a pillow at my face. Everyone else was in the living room with me. They were watching the TV and I was just there ..bored.For once I yearn for something ANYTHING! To happen."If you're gonna be complaining all the damn time just go to your room or something-" Miya continued and my jaw dropped when both Gabriel and Eli agreed with her.The betrayal was unreal…."Ok then maybe I will-" I said walking to my room.I got onto my bed and just scrolled through my phone endlessly until I came across this one guy by the name of Mr.Rhexx talking about a game called DnD. His account was ancient ..and I mean ancient. I'm talking about a thousand years.Soon I found myself watching more and more of his stuff and soon I was fantasizing about an imaginary game with friends that could be interesting… better yet fun.___
