Heart of a myth

-Chapter four-

E.F

My day has been absolute shit----Like explosive shit, but lately these shitty days have been happening a lot lately to be honest. First of all I got grounded for having bad grades since I have been skipping a lot lately, so my dad took my damn camera away! Not to mention my little brother, Dexter, has been a pain in my ass all week and won't stop bothering me.
Why can't I just have a peaceful day alone with no interruptions?

What I wanted to do today was go to this lake with nice clear water and huge green trees and take some pictures for my instagram but i guess that won't be happening since my phone camera sucks total ass.
But I don't do much with my life anyways, I just stay home on my phone, outside taking pictures or at school. All in all my life is boring and nothing exciting ever happens.

I keep on mourning in my room with my face smashed on the pillow and my body spread out on the bed in defeat. After a couple of minutes of letting myself lay in my pity I soon hear a ding from my phone, which my dad didn't take away for some reason but took my camera. I groaned as I rolled over to my bed stand and grabbed my phone. Miguel Pereira, the other pain in my ass.
I looked at his text with a smile forming on my face.

M:  Hey man, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out with me downtown?

Downtown Seattle has a bunch of stuff to do, with strips of stores, places to eat and activities in general. Miguel and I  normally go there a lot when we are bored and have nothing to do. I quickly text a 'sounds good' before getting up to grab my shit and get ready.

My dad did ground me from my camera but he didn't say anything about my phone or places, and besides him and mom are barely here anyways, so who cares? Not me, that's for sure.  I went outside and it looked like a pretty good day to walk to the park where Miguel and I usually met. When I got there I didn't spot Miguel anywhere so I decided to sit at the park bench. This park was usually empty besides the few kids that would come and play on the park equipment.

I sigh as I watch the kids run around my bench. I was sitting with them laughing loudly. About 10 minutes later Miguel finally shows up with a McDonalds bag in his hands, shoving fries in his mouth. "Seriously? You were late because you were getting food?" he just nods and continues munching down on his fries
. "You want some?" he asked me as I cringed since he was talking with his mouth full.
"No, let's just go dumbass" I get up and start to walk away from the bench and miguel. He quickly ran up to me with a heavy breath. "Jeez you moody today!"
" I am not moody today. I am just pissed because my dad took away my camera again. Alright?"  I stated clearly still pissed at my dad
" Ya, ya okay my bad." Miguel said as he offered me some food again.  I roll my eyes as I take some of his fries. "Stoner" I mumbled under my breath, making him laugh.
"You bet your socks I am" I glared at him and his words before just looking in front of me and kept walking to our destination.

When we get there Miguel insists on going into this old comic book store so he can try to find some older copies of Marvel comics, and since he is the only reason we are here right now I sucked it up and went with him.
He threw away his now gone mcdonald bag and headed to the store with a smile on his face. This man would date a comic book if he could at this point.

I followed him into the store, and once I got into the building I wanted to leave. It smelled like old dirt and my grandpa's house in here and there were so many boxes of comics. I watch as Miguel hops around looking at all the boxes and rows of comics.

He and I have been friends for a while now. We have known each other since freshman year after he came up to me and gave me a bag of chips he didn't want anymore.
People always assume we are dating since Miguel is a very touchy and affectionate person so people started to think we were a thing since he was always hugging me, giving me compliments (very weird ones) and more. We aren't dating but he sure was the person who made me realize I was bisexual, and I was the person that made him realize he was pan.

"Okay I am ready mannnn" he sang as he ran towards me with a lopsided smile and a stack of about ten or more comics in his arms. I stare at him dumbfounded as I shake my head while laughing softly. "Holy shit dude, do you really need all of that?" he pouts as he turns away from me dramatically
"Of course I do! I could get more but I'm going broke." he told me before walking to check out.

We walked out of the comic book store and as we were walking down the sidewalk I got a text from my mom telling me she wanted me home for dinner. When I was trying to text her back this kid bumped into me.
"Hey watch...."   I said not finishing my sentence because when I looked up I saw the most beautiful thing in the world. Okay I might be being a little dramatic but he looked like the most beautiful thing I have seen in my life. He had pale pink hair that looked soft and fluffy and he was kinda short and had amazing blue eyes. He was absolutely beautiful.
"Oh, I am so sorry." he said in his angelic voice. Okay I am being really cheesy right now so I should just stop talking.

"It's okay...just watch where you're going next time okay?" I said softer this time he just nodded softly before walking off. When he turned around and walked away I was still staring at him. I watch him as he walks away and looks around the city. He seems new to seattle... he must be from out of town, he seems so much different then what type of people are  normally here. I keep on thinking about the guy and where he could possibly be from.
"Keep it in your pants bud!" Miguel said randomly, pulling me away from my thoughts by smacking my shoulder.
"Excuse me?" I said with a glare and a shade of red spread across my face  as he laughed.

"What!! you're staring at him like he is a Victoria's Secret model" he joked as he looked around trying to find the next store to look in.
"He's not," I said as we started to walk again.
"He just looks..." before I could even finish my sentence Miguel interrupted me,
"Hot? Sexy? Bearable to look at?" I just stared at him before slapping the back off his head.
"No! I mean sure...but he's more... breathtaking? If that's even the word for it..." Miguel just looks at me with a mixed expression of empathy and sadness.
"What?" I asked him with a confused tone.
"Hm? Nothing just not used to you acting like that" he atmented making me confused. What did he mean? Did he mean being all cheesy and stuff? I used to act like that with my ex but not much anymore so I am not sure what he ment.
"What do you mean by that?"  I was curious what his answer would be.
"Nothing. Okay just forget it." Miguel replied with a lazy smile as he waved his hand in the air. I nodded before following him to the next store.

As he looks around the store I get lost in thought about that boy I saw, I wonder if I'll see him again....he does look like my age so i assume he would go to highschool. But wondering is a waste of time so I'll just find out.

If I get the chance.
