Do you wanna be friends or not - Karlnap

Chapter 15 - Sleepover

Karl is in his house, lying in bed and remembering the time he spent with Sapnap at the hotel. There was no sound of someone banging on the door. "Hey! Loser! Are you deaf?" Karl's sister's impatient question pulled him out of his thoughts. He sighed and slowly stood up, turning to face his obnoxious sister and asking, "What do you want?"

She approached him and gave him a list, saying, "Mom wanted you to run some errands. You need to buy these ingredients, and yeah whatever."

"Why can't YOU do it?" Karl crossed his arms and asked. She answered, "I don't know, maybe Mom loves me more," to which Karl rolled his eyes. He murmured, "Whatever," as he passed her and left his room. In the same way, his sister stood by his door and asked, "Btw, why are you smiling weirdo?" Chuckling afterward. Karl grinned as he turned to face her and said "Oh, it's because of N-O-Y-B."

"N...O...Y...B?"

"None. Of. Your. Business." Karl answered and then made his way downstairs. "Pfft, whatever, most likely dreaming that you wanted our parent's attention"

Karl exclaimed, "I heard that," from below.

"Whatever."

Karl's mom is going to make pasta tonight, so he's examining the pasta products in aisle 5. He saw the perfect one and attempted to approach it from above, but his height prevented him from doing so even though he was standing on his toes.

Damn it...

Someone's hand grabbed the product behind him and Karl turned to thank him but was surprised to see Sapnap again. "Sapnap?! What are you doing here?!" "I filled in since I'm bored today. Our maid got sick and was sent home and our servants couldn't do it since they're busy," he stated, passing the item to Karl. "Don't you play Minecraft? Why aren't you even playing?"

"Because I'm bored and kinda tired from playing bedwars."

"You're mean..."

"Heh, I know." Sapnap patted Karl on the head like a puppy which he pushed away. "Really?" "Yup, I'll see you around. Later." Before Karl could continue, Sapnap passed him by and disappeared. Karl thought to himself, "Well, that was fast," just as someone touched him on the back. "Excuse me, sir..." an elderly voice said. Karl looked back and saw an elderly woman. "Oh, I apologize."

It's okay, sweetie. Would you help me grab one of them from one of the upper shelves?"

"Ok." He did as he was told before placing it on the cart. "Thank you, young man."

"You're welcome."

"Could you do me a favor by helping me pls?"

"Sure."

Karl didn't realize someone had been sitting next to him while he was by himself under the tree on Wednesday, his eyes fixed on the hard copy page in his hands. "Are you reading anything?" Karl answers, "Percy Jackson," in response to a voice from Sapnap, not moving his eyes off the book. Karl finally looked up from the book and gave Sapnap a perplexed expression as he continued, "I wanna ask you something that I haven't done before."

"What are you trying to say?"

"Do you still remember that I've never had friends before?"

"Yeah?" Karl said, still confused.

Karl paused to reflect. More time spent with Sapnap. HECK YA! "Even with that awful accent of yours, Yeah, I will. However..."

Sapnap raised his eyebrows. "I want my friends to join," Karl said, grinning naively at him. Sapnap twitched an eye still, that expression blank, asking, "Are you kidding? "No, I'm serious." Once more, I'm smiling. "Do you know that one of them may leak into my life?" Karl's face reddened as Sapnap questioned, pushing his face to Karl's. "Correct?" After gritting his teeth at the final syllable, Sapnap withdrew. Karl gave a headshake. "Come on! Karl cried out, clutched at his arm, and began shaking like a young child. Sapnap responded, "No Karl, you understand that my life is private and I'm not risking it even with the people you know."
