It had been about a week since the fight. Things seemed to start becoming normal. Most of the time the house was empty and others it was full of people of all ages, genders, ethnicity's, and so on. I had yet to see the boy from the lobby again. Though the two that where at dinner that night seem to be around quite often. I learned that there names where Mason and Michael. They where in a band with my brother called 'Bottom Line'. They where not the best. Most of the music consisted yelling about sad relationship fails. Mason played the drums, Michael the bas, and Alan on the guitar and vocals. I had a few awkward conversations with Michael. But none with Mason just a few painful glances. It had been quite uncomfortable since i had been such a dick to him after he practically saved my life from those boys. I had also come across a small comic shop and was planning. I had been almost everyday since i had found it and was planning on going again. Inside the shop was also a small coffee shop. The boy who i had shared the unpleasant memory of getting beat up with also had gone to the shop quiet often. In fact we had become quite close only after knowing each for a few days.
I finally got out of bed around 11 and grabbed my bag from off the floor and slipped my reading glasses into it.(a/n If you just like wear glasses the you just like put them on your face ig and just like skip this next part. ) Although i did not need them to see it made it much easier to read. I slid on some ankle socks they had bright red cherries on them and exited my bedroom to what i assumed would be an empty living room. But to my surprise two boys passed out on the couch where basically laying on top of each other. I just ignored them and walked into the kitchen. I grabbed a glass from one of the cabinets and filled it with some water. After only a few sips i set it down on the counter. Even after only being here for a week i had already adjusted to the customs. You see at my dads house leavening a cup of water on the counter would never slide.
I slid on some old flipflops and exited the apartment. On my way there i had yet to see Theo which was surprising because we almost always walked together. I shrugged it off and continued towards the comic shop. When i entered a small bell rang as always. I walked towards the counter and ordered (What ever drink you like). While the barista made it i glanced over the shelves trying to find a good comic to read. After a little while of searching i decided on a fantastic 4 comic. I headed over to the register and bought the book.
I made my way over to the café area. The only thing that separated it was a wall that stopped half way. I sat down in my usual spot and waited for either Theo or my drink. I flipped over the first page and studied the pages pushing my glasses back onto my face after they nearly fell off. The art style was much different then any i had seen. I was so engrossed in the book i had barley heard the barista call my name. I set down the comic and grabbed my drink from the girl behind the counter. She flashed a quick smile before handing me my drink. Just as i sat down Theo came rushing into the shop. By his side was a small boy he wore a denim jacket and an anime shirt.
They approached me Theo basically throwing his body into the booth. He sat across from me and next to him was the same boy. "Sorry we are so late, I over slept" Theo said smiling like a moron. I glanced over to the boy with a confused face. Theo spoke up "oh this is Kenny." he said scratching the back of his neck. Kenny looked quite shy and reserved. Just as i was about to introduce myself Theo interrupted me "I hope you don't mind i invited Kenny" He said with a stupid grin. Shaking my head i responded "Not at all, I'm y/n its nice to meet you." I said with a small smile. He looked up but didn't say anything. So Theo did "What are you reading?" He asked. I showed him the cover and went back to reading. After a little while of no one talking i could tell it was quiet awkward for the other two so i closed my book and placed it into my bad along with my glasses. "So what are you doing this week?" i asked nonchalantly. "We are playing D&D" Theo said pointing to Kenny with his thumb. "Cool" I said "You can join us if its okay with Kenny. I'm sure the boys will be thrilled to have a girl in the party." He said nudging Kenny with his shoulder. "Yeah its fine." He said after an awkward silence. It was the first words he had said the whole time. Of course i accepted there offer considering Theo was my only friend.
