Forth Beam short stories 2

Bad day

Beam's P.O.V.

Nothing was going right today. It's like the universe is against me or some shit. They didn't even have my favorite snack. They always have strawberry flavored pocky! That's why I always come here. But with my luck, I shouldn't even be surprised today. I really needed the pick me up though. Phana is mad at me because I missed the study session yesterday. Today we had a surprise quiz which made Phana pick on me even more because if I had gone yesterday I would have done better. But I was sick! I'm still feeling sick! That's why I was late for class. Whatever I will just go home. I walked back to my car which was parked next to the convenience store. I got in and when I tried to start it. It wouldn't do anything! This couldn't be happening. I sighed resting my head on the steering wheel. Now I have to call Pha even though I'm mad at him. I grabbed my phone and got out of the stupid car. Shit, I'm almost out of battery. I hurriedly searched for Pha's number and called him.

"Pick up, Pick up." I mumbled but after the third ring he hung up. "fucking asshole." I dialed his number again and in the middle of the tone, I stopped hearing the noise. I look at my phone and it's dead. "dammit! Stupid Phana!" I cursed. I was so mad I kicked the tire of my car. "Fuck you Phana, and this fucking car. I want this day to be fucking over." I said letting out my anger. I rested my forehead against the car. I'm fucking tired and feeling sick. Why can't even one thing go my way today? I sighed thinking what I should do. I heard someone clearing his throat behind me. What now? I thought turning to glare at the person standing beside me. I was surprised to see someone I know. We are not friends or anything. I know who he is because of Phana but other than that he's basically a stranger.

"What?" I said trying to compose myself.

"Are you ok?" he asked. It took everything in me not to curse at him. He's not at fault I'm just not in the mood.

"I'm fine Forth." I said letting out a sigh. Already resigned to my fate.

"Stupid question I just saw you. Need any help?" he asked.

"Can I use your phone to call Phana?" I asked.

"Sure if you know the number, I don't think I have it." he said.

"Aren't you his friend? how come you don't have his phone number." I said a little annoyed. He shrugged.

"We are not that close." he said and I sighed for the tenth time today.

"Ok, thank you then." I said turning toward my car. Should I walk home? I can make it by night if something doesn't try to kill me. At least no one can take the piece of shit car since it doesn't start. What a shitty day. I just wanted to eat some snacks and sleep. But no. I turned to start walking and Forth was still there looking at me amused. "what?" I asked.

"You look like a crazy person mumbling to yourself." he said.

"Whatever you look crazy just standing there looking at me." I said. I was damn tired and I haven't even started walking yet. Shit, it looks like it's going to rain too soon.

"You're right. But I'm seriously concerned you don't look well." he said.

"No shit, I'm sick and tired, and this stupid piece of shit I call a car won't even start. Don't even get me started on the asshole Phana." I said and Forth looked surprised for a second then laughed. "I'm sorry bad day." I said and he nodded.

"I can check your car if you want." he said and I looked at him hopeful.

"Yes please I just want to go home." I said and he nodded. I gave him the keys and he opened the bonnet. I sat down in the passenger seat looking at him. My fucking headache is only getting worse and I'm hungry on top of it.
