Our Beginning | Mickey Altieri

Chapter Four

"Hey, nice taste in movies!"

I whipped my head to Mickey, who's now holding a tape of Halloween. I told him not to touch them, but I guess I'll allow it. Once.

"Thanks."

"You have a lot more than I ever own."

"Funny you said that," I told him. "Why's that?" He asked. "Randy told me something that sounded similar to yours," Laughing, Mickey chuckles. "What course are you taking,
by the way?" Asking, he puts the tape back in the box and takes out several to put on the desk across him. "I'm taking Film," He answered. So, him and Randy are taking Film? Good to know.

"How about you?" He asked. "Theatre, I'm a bit more interested in it." He let out a hum in response, smiling as he grabs more tapes from my box. "Look at you being all interested over there," I chuckled. Mick mocked my laughter, looking back at the tapes.

"Well, sorry, I'm just intrigued in a lot of movies. More likely, horror."

"Glad Randy and I are not the only ones."

"I fucking heard that!"

  Mick and I jumped over the sudden voice. Randy opens the door, giving me glare. "Hey, it's true," I told him. Raising my hands up in defeat, Mickey's hand snakes around his video camera. "Mickey, what the hell are you doing?" "Capturing the moment," Whispers Mickey. I rolled eyes over his answer as I pushed his hand down.

"Why are you trying to capture the moment of a geek going to fight me? His ass will lose in the beginning of the first round."

"That is so uncalled for," He spoke, pointing at me. "You're a nerd too, possibilities are you might lose too." "Are you challenging me?" I put a hand over my chest. "You bet your sorry ass I am." Looking at Randy, I started to walk infront of him, the two of us not breaking contact. I was the first person to look away while I pointed my thumb at Randy, looking at Mickey while I did.

"Man, I like this guy!"

I slapped Randy's back, chuckling while I walked further and further away from him, now beside Mickey. Randy laughs along and says the exact words I previously told. "What the fuck?" Mickey blurs out. "No fight then?" "You're really going to be like that huh?" I asked him, pointing a finger at him.

"Obviously, you're going to have to deal with me in the dorm now. Welcome to life, Y/n. It's never fair."

"Yeah, sure, whatever, now shut up," Waving my hand up and down at him. Then I realized Randy is still here.

"Hey Randy, shouldn't you be helping Derek with the dorm or something?"

Turning my view on him, he's gone. Mickey started laughing.

"Mick, what the fuck? Why didn't you tell me he's already gone!?"

"Because it's funny."

I looked around, finding something to throw at him. Not directly, but close enough to give him a scream about. Looking at my box, I snatched the closest tape I could feel, throwing it at Mickey. And I was wrong. It didn't miss, it hit him directly at his face. He leaned back a bit and covered his face.

"Ow, fucking hell!?"

"Ah, shit! I didn't mean to!"

Mick takes his hand off from his face. Leaning down, he grabs the tape. I should've known better to not throw an object at someone because I know damn well they're going back with more force than another.

"Fuck this, I'm out!"

"Get your ass back in here!"

I ran out of the dorm, making strange sounds of terror while Mick continued to chase me down the hall. Someone from the left came and I knocked them over by accident. Shit, that's Hallie.

"Ow, watch i- Oh hey, N/n."

Before I spoke, Mickey interrupted.

"You're done for, N/n!"

Hallie got up and I hid behind her.

"Hallie, please save me! Mick's gone mad!"

She wraps an arm around me, pointing a finger at Mickey.

"What the hell did you do?"

"Hey, don't come at me, Hal! They started it!"

She slowly moved around to face me.

"What did you do?"

"I...hit him directly at his face with my VHS tape by accident."

"By accident," Hallie began to burst into laughter. "This isn't funny," Mickey told her. "They threw the tape at you by accident. Right on the face! Of course it's going to be hilarious!" Mick whips his head to my direction.

"You're going to be a bother."

"Just like your existence. Gotta go!"

I ran away, giving Hallie a wave while Mick starts to chase me. I couldn't hold my laugh and let it out that I soon stopped.

"Wait a minute, why did I stop?"

"For the perfect revenge."

I jumped from that similar sound.

"Oh, shit! I said I'm sorry!"

He ignored me and is getting prepared to hit me. I closed my eyes, waiting for the moment until I felt a smack on the top of my head.

"The fuck?"

I look at Mickey who's smiling.

"The McFuck are you looking at?"

"Okay, Ronald McDonald, cut that shit."

Mickey chuckled and handed me my tape.

"Here, I know you didn't mean to hit me by accident, but I'm not kidding what I said at the dorm. I am going to be a bother, so you're welcome."

I took the tape, muttering a word.

"Asshole."

"Excuse me?"

"I said thank you."

"Whatever, let's go back to our dorm."

I smiled and walked along with him, both heading back to our dorm.
