Under The Mask. [Sal X Travis]

Chapter 19: Maybe I wanted it

A few days went by. It was almost the end of September. Close to Halloween month. But not everything was all fun. Travis was dealing with his father. Who was still abusive. But only when anger was inside of him. And Sal's father has been acting...a bit different. Besides Sal knowing his own dad has a liking to Liza. Larry's mother. But Sal doesn't mind. Anything just to keep his father happy and going.

[ Sal's POV ]
It was September 29th. Thursday. Almost October. Where people can be anything just for fun. And others just can explore haunted places for fun. Most just thinking it's just a normal ordinary day. To me, I just want to spend the October month with my friends. I mean, there is a Halloween dance on the 31st. So why miss the opportunity? But besides the point, it was at least 4 am. I woke up that early because well...I wanted time to hang out with Larry, Talk with Travis on the phone. And well, I fell asleep way to early. I was supposed to take a nap. But ended up taking a full on sleep. I went to sleep at 6. Or 7. I don't know. As I got up from my bed, I changed into my sweater, and just ripped black jeans. I grabbed my mask, and fixed up my hair. I slipped on my blue sneakers and left my room. I went to get something to eat. Something simple. I made toast and ate it away. I went back to my room real quick and grabbed my gameboy. Why? Well it is a ghost detector, so I went to the 5th floor real quick. You may know why. But I wanted to talk with Megan real quick. She only appears on certain months, days, or weeks. I went into the bathroom she was in and chatted with her. "Hello Sally face!" She said happily, "hey, Megan. How are you?" I said happily back to her. "I'm doing good. Im excited for Halloween." I smiled under my mask, "I am too. So what's been going on?" (BTW, there is no cult, no dramatic parts from the game to here, and DEFINITELY NO MURDER! I mean c'mon...that was sad to whiteness... anyway, back to story.) "Nothing much, mommy and daddy are just in bad moods all the time. But they don't fight." I got a buzz from my phone. It was a message from my dad.
Daddyo- hey, buddy, you awake already?
Sal- Yeah, sorry I didn't tell you. Good morning.
Daddyo- Morning. I'm gonna make pancakes for the morningin a few hours.
Sal- okay 👌
I put my phone back in my pocket and continued to talk with Megan. About 30 minutes go by and she left and I went back to my room. As I did, it was 4:15 a.m. I was gonna text Larry but Travis texted me.
Blond boy :) - hey Sal. I know, it's kinda early, and you are probably still sleeping, but I just wondered if you wanna hang out. My mom doesn't mind, and my dads gonna be busy all day today.
I responded back to him.
Blue boy- Yeah, sure, I don't mind :) I have nothing better to do
Blond boy- oh you are awake. Okay. Meet me at my locker and we'll talk more. 🙂
Blue boy- okay, love you travy <3
Blond boy- I love you too Sally Face. ❤
I put my phone in my pocket and smiled. 'Gosh...he's so adorable.' I went to check the time. It was close to 5. I decided to help out my dad to make the pancakes. "Hey kiddo, I got called in early to be at work at 3 today. And I will be hope late" my dad said as I was mixing the pancake mix, "again?" I sighed, feeling a little sad. To be honest, me and my dad haven't been spending much time together. He's been busy with his work. And I've been busy with my school. "Yep, sorry bud. Hey, maybe we could plan on doing something together. There is the Halloween amusement park about to open. Maybe we could go there." Right, I forgot, there's an amusement park open for October. I responded to my dad happily, "yeah sure. Maybe you could bring Lisa~" i said teasing my own dad. "Could be your first date~" he looked away, then he caught me off graud, "well, I'm not the only one." I paused, 'what does he mean-' then...it hit me. "DAD! I NEVER TOLD ANYONE! HOW DO YOU KNOW!" he laughed and I was shocked. "Well, I took a lucky guess. I mean, I look out the window and I see him. That blond boy you hang out with." I blushed and covered my face with my pigtails. "Please don't tell anyone...please" I mumbled while covering my face of embarrassing, "okay, okay, I promise. If you don't tell Larry I am going to ask his mom on a date." My dad and I shook hands and kept it a deal. A few minutes go by and we finished up eating our pancakes. It was time for me to leave, I grabbed my backpack and headed out, "later dad. Bye Gizmo." I waved out and left, "bye kiddo, be good." I hear my dad say as I closed the door. I chuckled and left the building. Larry, Ashley, Chug, and Todd were already outside and Travis was waiting by them. 'They've gotten along really well now. Good for them.' I smiled and they waved at me. We then walked to school.
-After school: (Because I'm lazy)-
End of the day and almost Friday and the Halloween month. I set my stuff in my locker and waited for the bell to ring. Travis came over to me and we chatted.
