Kenny's POV

     I walk down the street, looking at houses and moving cars left to right, kicking some rocks on my way home. I glance over at the Tucker's household, looking up at the windows. There was a "No drones" sign on one of the windows on the top floor. God, I almost feel bad they still have to keep that up there. Poor Laura. I sighed at the sign and continued walking, and I walked non-stop to my house. Jumping over the railroad tracks and moving past the garbage near my yard; this place needed a tune up. Can't clean it by myself though. I opened up the door and walked inside, greeting my sister, Karen, in the living room. A smile appeared on her face as she ran over to me.

     "Kenny!" She said happily, "You're home!" She wrapped her arms around me with a big smile on her face, I smiled and hugged her back.

"Sorry for getting home late, princess, I was with a friend." I said, patting her back.

     "I already said it's okay. You're here now!" She replied, pulling out of the hug. I just smiled brighter and looked over to the nearby hallway.

   "Do you still have that old tablet charger?" I asked. "My phone's dead and I couldn't find my charger earlier."

     "Yeah I think so." She thought, running over into the hallway and into her room. I walked over to the couch and sat down, my attention still focused on the hallway entrance.

     Karen came back a few minutes later and smiled, "Found one!!" she said as she held a cord out in front of me. "Is this one gonna fit your phone?" She asked. I looked at the cord's end and then took out my phone and looked at the charging port. I looked back and forth between the two things for a few seconds.

     "Yeah, it will." I said with a smile. Karen then smiled again as I took the cord from her. "I'm pretty sure I have a charging box in my room." I said, getting up from the couch. "You wanna hang out in my room for a while?" I asked. She nodded as a response, then I led her to my room. As we both entered, she raced over to my bed and sat down. I went over to my desk and plugged in the charging cord into the charging box on the wall, then plugged my phone in and sat it on the desk. 'Let's hope this works...' I think.

     Me and Karen then started doing things we normally would do when I get home. We drew some things, talked, cleaned up the house as best as we could, played with Scabbers(my rat if you forgot), and watched TV as much as we could before the TV breaks. We do all that while we wait for our parents to come home from wherever they disappear to. That's what we do. Everyday. That's the life of a poor family. We can't do much, so we just do as much as we can in our little environment.

     After a few hours I checked my phone, it turned on flawlessly. I unplugged it and called Craig, like I said I would. I ringed him once... he didn't answer. Ringed twice... still no answer. I sighed and felt uneasy. 'What if he fell asleep? Its fucking freezing out there.' I took my phone to my bed and sat down, and tried calling him again. ... And a few seconds later :

     "Hhhg, hello..?"

     Thank god. He's alright... I think. His voice was quiet and rough, he sounded like he just woke up. I couldn't help but blush, he sounded sexy as hell.

     "Who is this?" Craig asked, sounding faint on the line.

   "It's Kenny. I'm glad you finally answered." I said with a smile. "You alright?"

     "Hey. I'm cold as hell.. I fell asleep on the bench." He replied with a cough at the end. So he did fall asleep. God damn it, Craig...

   "How the hell do you fall asleep in the cold, dude?"

     He hummed a small sound and grumbled, "I don't know..." He said as he coughed again, I wondered if he caught a cold. Wouldn't be surprised.

   "Best if you head home, it's too cold to stay out there any longer." I suggested, with a bit of worry in my voice.

     "I know. I'm going home right now..." He said quietly. He sounded tired as hell, I wonder why he's tired all the time.

   "Good." I respond. "My parents should be home soon. Call me when you get home, okay? I need to go."

     "Okay." Craig says, clearing out his throat. "Bye?"

   "Bye, dude. Love ya~" I reply, smirking. Craig goes silent and hangs up the phone. I laugh slightly and put my phone down on my bed.

     I got up not that long after, and headed to the kitchen. Since I've been working at Tweek Bros. for so long, I was about to gain a good amount of money. I bought this microwave from this really shady guy in an alleyway not that long ago and now that I'm thinking about it, I never tried using it. I told the guy who sold it to me if it was broken I would have someone kick his ass. So I'm hoping that it works, and if it doesn't... I'll get someone to kick his ass. Easy as that.

     I pick up the plate of food from where I left it and put it in the microwave, and set the timer for a minute. I don't know what this exactly is so I hope one minute is enough to warm it up... Not really gonna complain about the taste, as long as it's edible. Food is food. I call my sister into the kitchen and we set the table with two paper plates and glasses. Since our parents aren't home, we're eating without them. And save some food for them, of course...

     As soon as the food got warmed out I took it out of the microwave and took the plastic wrap off from the food. It looked like chicken and rice. Looked good.
     I sat the food in the middle of the table and sat down, Karen was already sitting down by the time the food was done. And just that easily, we started eating. The chicken tasted tangy and somewhat had a crispy texture to it. It wasn't dry at all either. Same with the rice, it was tangy but very soft. Both the foods were also seasoned nicely. It tasted delicious. And I think Karen would agree too, she had a big smile on her face while eating. She usually doesn't smile at all when dinner is ready. I'm so happy she liked it...

     Once we finished eating, we threw our plates in the trash and put our glasses on the counter before going back to our separate rooms to do whatever we decided to do till our parents came home.

   And I decided to have a... strange nap.
