Viper's POV
I've been laying in bed for hours, scrolling Tik Tok. It's 3 in the morning but I can't sleep. I decide to switch over to Instagram and I check my follow requests. Someone named Canary requested me, an odd name. Well, my name is Viper, so not any better. I accept the request and decide to message this bird named person.
"Hey"
I sent the message and then went to sleep as it was nearly 3:30 AM.
~Time skip~
I woke up at 3pm, not surprised. And checked my phone and saw Canary texted me. Eh, I can check it later. I need iced coffee first before dealing with people. I walk downstairs and see Pablo's already downstairs with breakfast made.
Pablo's my roommate, he used to be a known drug dealer until he got busted. He's now on probation and I'm stuck living with him. I've known him since I was 8, so I guess it's okay."Morning" I say
"Morning Viper ! I made your favourite" He replies.
I sit down at the table and he passes me a plate of cinnamon waffles, cube shaped fruit and a cup of iced coffee with whip cream on top.
I pull my phone out from my pocket and check Instagram. I see a DM from Canary saying
"Hii I just followed you! You look super cool:)"
I smiled, and hoped that this would possibly be the start of a friendship. The only person I really speak to nowadays is Pablo and it gets kind of lonely if I'm honest.
"Thank you:) You look super cool as well!" I said to Canary
For the next 45 minutes while I was slowly eating, I was texting Canary, and we vibed pretty well.
I walked up to my room to roll a joint and take my meds so I can function. I continued to text Canary whilst doing my makeup.DM's:
Canary: Oh I forgot to ask, where are you from?
Viper: I'm from NY, hbu?
Canary: Shit I'm from Cali
Viper: That's super far tbh, but at least we're in the same country:)
Canary: 44 hour drive...
Viper: Well one day, I'll definitely drive that 44 hours !
Canary: :) Hey do you play Minecraft?
Viper: Yeah! I do, why?
Canary: Well maybe we can play together
Viper: Yeah definitely!!For the next 4 hours straight, Canary & I were on a Skype call and playing Minecraft. It was actually really fun and helped distract myself from shitty reality. I'm actually glad that for once I have someone to talk to asides from Pablo.
~Time Skip~
Canary & I have been texting all night, I didn't even realize it's 7AM. And I'm supposed to work in 3 hours. Honestly, I may just take a nap. Dispensary employees aren't exactly strict.
They're 3 hours behind me so it's only 4 for them. Canary & I told each other a lot about ourselves. They make me feel comfortable talking about my gender identity, they actually understand themselves. I told them about how I'm non binary and I'm experimenting with they/he pronouns instead of just they/them pronouns. I was born a girl, but I'm highly uncomfortable being called a girl. They told me about them being bigender and using him/her pronouns, so at least we're both in the same boat and confused about our genders.
I put my phone down and slowly drift off to sleep.
