A Glitch Away From Home

Chapter 6: A new direction?

While walking in the direction that the melon man pointed at. Something was thrown at him. "Ow- the hell?" Anti looked at the direction at the object was thrown at him. Nothing he saw out of the ordinary until he was hit with a acorn.

"Okay who the fuck is messing with me?"

Anti looked around again and went on his way before was pelted with more acorns.

"Come on stop fuckin with me or I'll rip yer arm out of socket!"

Anti yelled out and before he knew it a kid jumped down from the trees and waved, it definitely scared Anti a bit.

"Why the fuck was you in the tree?!"

King just shrugged as a squirrel climbed his arm and sat on his shoulder.

"I just like to hang about and that melon man likes to mess with my stuff so I throw acorns to keep him out, say I haven't seen you before. You new in town?"

King asked catching Anti off guard a bit.

"Ummmmm. Why do you ask-?"

Anti asked seeing a squirrel hop on King's head.

"Because I see everything that happens and you seem to be new to the area considering you just walked into the woods and usually people don't just walk into the woods without a reason"

Anti rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.

"What are you a shrink now?" Anti asked looking at king.

"Nope just a person that can see through people's walls like you so why did you walk here?"

Anti scratched the back of his head and let out a sigh.

"Needed to get away from people, so I can stop fucking shit up."

King nodded and thought for a moment.

"You can stay and hang out with me or just stay in my area away from the melon man"

Anti smiled a bit and nodded.

"I'll just stay a bit to clear my head. Thank you"

King smiled and waved goodbye and climbed up the tree and like that he was gone. Leaving Anti alone again but he felt a bit better after talking to king. He let out a content sigh and started to walk again

After a while Anti came out of the woods and by a small parking lot. He looked around and saw it was by the park. He walked to the park and noticed the swings slowly in the breeze and made his way to them and sat down on it. He wrapped his hands on the metal, it was cold to th touch with it seeming not been used for a bit. He let out a sigh and kicked his feet a bit making him sway a bit. He looked at the sky and noticed it was a little past half way meaning it was the afternoon. How long was he in the woods for? Didn't matter at this point, he then remembered the money he had from this morning. He opened the envelope and it has about 60 to 80 dollars in it. He stood from the swing and looked around to see if there was a store around there wasn't one around him at the moment but he remembered there was by the shed. He smiled slightly and walked to where his little ole shed and made sure Apple was okay, they was just napping on the makeshift bed. He grabbed a water bottle and put some in the dish and gently petted Apple and walked out to get some food.

While walking back from getting the necessary things he needed. Food, a can opener for the food,water, a new backpack, a candle and a lighter and cat food for apple and dishes. Carrying the bags into the shed and put it all on the table and sat on the bed and let out a heavy sigh. "You need to get stuff in place.. so. this place isn't a mess and hide the few dollars you have left.. And don't. Don't. Walk away from school again Anti" Anti thought to himself staying on the bed for a moment looking at Apple who was asleep on the bed next to him.

"How do you sleep all the time?"

Anti asked chuckling a bit to himself then standing up to put stuff away. Soon a candle was lit and the shed had a homely feeling to it, it felt nice nothing could hurt him. He was safe with Apple the stray cat that he had picked up along the way. Now just one thing that needed to be fixed, his friendships that he might of hurt all because of one thing. Anti let out a sigh and stood up blowed out the candle and laid down on the bed moving Apple on top of his chest petting them.

"Tomorrow is a new day."
