a/n from future me (PLS READ!!!) i dont end up using auto caps nor auto correct until the a/n chapter, + this book sucks!! this was a learning experience for me and im glad to have gotten more experience from this book so i can write a new and better book. this book was mostly testing myself and seeing how much i could do. but anyway, enjoy!!!!

another a/n, IM SORRY THAT WILBUR IS INCLUDED IN THIS STORY.

oh, life. it was boring and honestly sucked. i work from home, doing youtube on the side, suprisingly, youtube raked in alot of money, earning me a awfully large apartment. it had 3 bedrooms incase of guests, and i had a roomate, well, sort of?

he was never really home, yet he still helped with rent, i guess he usually just washed his clothes here because he was usually out with friends or leaving the state, he tended to leave often.

but him leaving me, left me well, alone. trapped in my thoughts of every past mistake ive ever made.

i was thinking about this thing i did to a kid when i was just 17 years old, when my phones buzzes on the desk.

i flip over the phone to check who it was, and not to my surprise it was sapnap, asking if i had anything going on today, i texted him back with a simple 'let me check, why? whats up?'

i knew i didnt have plans, honestly, i never had plans. like i said, i have a boring and sucky life.

he quickly responded with, 'i wanna go somewhere, i dont know where but, somewhere!'

i sighed as i checked the time, nearly 11am.

i shot him a text back, 'we can do something, what time? and where should i meet you?'

i was hoping we would be doing something simple, such as boba, or ramen. those were his favorites and we often did that together. i saw the typing bubbles appear, minutes later i got a text, 'i was thinking ramen,' the text began, i knew it. i thought to myself, plastering a know-it-all cocky grin on my face before i read the rest, 'and whenever your ready man, i dont really care.'

i told him give me about 30 minutes to get ready and he said okay.

i jogged over to my closet, picking out something simple, a white sweater with some baggy jeans, followed with a pair of green-ish nikes.

i pick out a few basic accessories, a chain, some rings, and one earring.

i head over to the bathroom to attempt to tame my messy hair, but mostly failed. i brushed my teeth because id realized i forgot to when i woken up and showered earlier.

i check out how i look in the full body mirror, smiling at myself. i never thought i was ugly, i was always happy with how i looked.

i checked the time before texting sapnap, id only taken nearly 25 ish minutes. i open sapnaps contact and text him, 'hey, im on my way to the ramen place, is that okay?'

he responds within seconds 'yeah dude, cya there'

i sigh in exhaustion, i hadent got much sleep last night honestly, still, i wasnt gonna turn down a day with my best friend sapnap. he was like a brother to me and had always been here since we were about 12, through thick and thin.

i snapped out of my thoughts about my childhood with sapnap as i slide my phone into my sweater pocket, i paddled downstairs and grab my keys from the key rack, then jog myself to the drivers seat of my car.

even though i had money, my car was nothing special, it got me where i needed to go—which was practically nowhere—and thats all that mattered.

anyway, i hook my phone up to the aux cord as a play songs from my playlist, the first song being 'heatwaves'

i arrive at the ramen place, i park my car in a random free parking spot and i call sapnap,
"hey sapnap, where are you?" i question.

"look to your left idiot." he says playfully yet serious to me, as i did just as he said and looked to my left, i saw him on the other side of the street. i hang up as a let out a light chuckle watching him struggle to cross the street.

he makes it over and we both greet eachother, then walk in the ramen place.

we get a table for 2 and greet the lady that usually takes our order, we were regulars as youd call them.

we order our basic usuals.

we sit in comfortable silence for a bit while waiting for our food, until sapnap starts conversation, "i got a new girlfriend!" he says with a cocky smile on his face. i let out a slightly annoyed huff. he changed girlfriends quicker than he changed his underwear. no, seriously, he did.

"again?" i playfully smile as he wacks my arm.

i laugh at him, "whats her name? and where did yall meet? and what happened to your ex already?" i bombard him with questions as he chuckles.

"well, her name is uhm.." he scratched the back of his neck trying to remember, normally i wouldve burst into laughter, but after all, we were in a small ramen place right now and i didnt wanna cause a disturbance, so i just let out a few quiet laughs.

"you don't remember?!" i yell, well, whisper yell, you know what i mean ?

"i- i think it was monica, or jennifer?.." he says in an unsure tone. "those names are so far from eachother, what?!" i nearly burst into laughter.

"oh shut up, we met at a club lastnight, and my ex, uhm, what was her name? sarah? chloe? i dont know, but we broke up the same day me and.. jennifer met." he explained to me

his love life is so stupid. honestly, i dont think he really likes girls. he never has connections with any of them, and hes had sex with about every girl hes dated, maybe he just want the sex? i dont know, but its not my place to assume or judge him.

i scoff at him as i began to thimk about my own love life. id been in 2 relationships, well, real ones. theyd both been girls, one from high school and one from a year or two ago. i didnt really feel any connection with them though and i couldnt place my finger on why, maybe i liked boys- i mean- what?! no. i dont like boys. im straight.

anyway, me and sapnap get our food and eat it up happily. we both get done, pay, and tip.

we hang around outside of the ramen place on a bench, talking about whatever came to mind between us.

"hey, wanna get boba? its been awhile since we went together, i went there alone last week and the lady asked me, 'wheres dreammm'" sapnap laughs, me following suit and also laughing.

"i think all the girls like me, i mean, i am irresistible!" i plaster a cocky grin on my face as sapnap scoffs at my stupidity—which i dont have.—and i just teasingly punch his shoulder.

we get up and head down the road to get boba, we order our usuals and then pay, and tip.

we go to sit on another bench infront of the boba shop, again, just talking to eachother about random shit.

we finish up and say our goodbyes before returning to our cars and heading home, i insisted on walking sapnap to his car because it was a bit away and it was getting dark, but he was stubborn and didnt let me, so i returned to my own car.

i reach my complex, opened the door with my keycard and pressing the elevator button, still slurping on my last drops of boba, i finally reach my room and unlock it, jogging up to my room and plopping down on the bed. i hurrily plug my phone in and set my empty boba cup on my nightstand, quickly drifting into a long needed sleep..
