The Introvert's Odyssey

Ethan's little play

When we came back we all went to freshen up. We were hungry and decided to cook Rice and Chicken sauce.

2 Hours later

After our delicious meal. We all layed on the floor of the sitting room while watching some action movie. I ended up sleeping off. And woke up an hour later to see that Ethan and Adrian weren't in the sitting room.
I didn't bother looking for them and I felt like eating some soda crackers so I went to my room to get some money.

When I opened the door to Adrian's room I saw that jewas playing a game with Ethan. They were both giggling and I ignored them thinking that they were just behaving childish.

Without checking the mirror, I went out. As I strolled down the road towards the supermarket nearby, I saw some kids laughing while pointing their fingers towards me. I ignored them thinking they were just playing.

When I went to the supermarket, the adults were giggling alongside some girls and when it was finally my turn to make payments the lady in charge gave me a mirror and I was confused as to why.

After which I looked at myself hesitantly only for me to see a moustache, dark circles under my eyes and some drawings on my face which made me look funny. I gave her back the mirror and quickly made the payment. I didn't cover my face because I didn't have any extra piece of clothing instead I put my bead up high and walked back to my house while planning my sweet revenge.

I entered my house to see that they were watching some cartoon. They looked at me and laughed. I ignored them and went to my room to wash my face. Fortunately, it wasn't permanent marker they used.

I walked downstairs still maintaining my calm demeanor while eating the soda crackers. They looked at me  surprised that I hadn't lashed out on them.

I stared at the both of them smiling then said "hey, aren't we gonna bake the cake for mum".
They looked at me wondering what exactly I had in store for them then awkwardly they replied "yeah sure let's get to it"

"Ethan, where's the vanilla extract?, Adrian you're too slow in mixing, be faster" I said while putting some butter in the cake pan. I could tell they were already tired from the stress of baking a cake but it's all for mum.

Few hours later the cake was in the oven. Ethan and Adrian were talking and I decided to read a book I bought recently 'Letters from Rifka by Karen Hesse'

After some time the cake was ready and I put it in the fridge to cool.

I walked towards my room with the book on my hand. I layed down and I was already very much interested in the book.
I felt like I was in the book itself, experiencing life like the main character was.

Around 9pm, Ethan entered my room to take a shower after bringing out some sleeping clothes.
I pretended that I didn't know he was there. And when he entered the bathroom I grinned.

I took his clothes from the bed and all the other ones in the wardrobe. And I ran away and hid...
