8: "Where am I?"

Hi :D okay so this chapter was actually based off of something i wrote in english class. i took some of the parts that i wrote, put it into here and edited it a bit. also, i got a new writing style. its literally just putting 3 spaces before the word i will put in a new paragraph, but i like it. okay, hope you enjoy :]

   It was a few weeks after Ross's birthday. The house was normal as usual, everyone going to work and having a good laugh with each other once in a while. But Ross was... Bored of it all. It was a constant loop until another tallie's birthday came along.

   So Ross decided to do something about it.

   "Bye guys, I am going to a party!" Ross said behind the others, who were all watching tv and sitting on the couch.

   "Okay bye be safe..." Zubin muttered. He waved at Ross but didn't look away from the TV, Ross's announcement wasn't anything to him.

   Ross rolled his eyes, but really didn't care if anyone payed attention or not. He opened the door and slammed it dramatically, hoping to get some sort of shout from the tallies that at least gave Ross a little bit of the thrill of getting in trouble. But this time, there was no shout. No muttering. Just background noise from the TV. Ross frowned.

   Ross walked to the party he was invited to, or got himself invited to. It wasn't that far, maybe just a block away. He thought about all of the things he would do there, to get a break from the boringness.

   "Maybe I'll get to live a little." Ross thought.

   A few minutes after walking, Ross was starting to reach the house. He started to actually run, because he was desperate for any exciting thing at all. A smile formed on his face, if anyone else was walking at that street they would have thought he was crazy.

   Finally Ross reached the house. It wasn't loud with music or anything, no lights were on. He was confused. Until then, he saw a note on the door.

   "no party tonight :( sorry come back saturday." It wrote.

   Ross frowned. He thought he was going to get some fun in his life, only to find out the place where he thought it was going to happen was cancelled. (wow, very much like the modern times)

   "Man... What the hell?" Ross thought.

   After being disappointed, Ross was walking home. Or he thought he was. He was too sad to notice that he was actually walking the complete opposite side of his neighborhood, a part of the town that he didn't know. He didn't even notice it was starting to snow.

   Finally Ross noticed after running into a brick wall. He looked around, the sidewalks were covered with snow. This wasn't a place Ross recognized, it wasn't a place where he knew. He thought he can try to find his way back home, by walking to a park somewhere or a corner. Even though it made no sense if you really thought about it, Ross's sad mind thought it made sense.

   Ross tried to find a corner, or a street that he could exit on. The streets all ended to another street, it made him more lost and confused. He walked infront of a house with a gate, which had barking dogs behind the gate. It didn't bother him since they were locked behind a gate, but once he noticed that one of them got out, he ran like hell.

   "AAAAH!" Ross screamed as he was being chased by a small elderly chihuahua. It didn't look threatening but it's teeth were out and they looked like were enough to make someone bleed if bit.
