Mutation

Experiences

After the late night out, Simon is back on his bed thinking about all the possibilities that could come out of this new found friendship he had made.

He felt giddy and somewhat relieved that he now had other people to rely on, though he still wanted to know more about Clyde and Hector. With a shrug and a sigh, he turns on his side and closes the lamp, darkness filling his room and his sight as he closes his eyes.

Hours go by and he wakes up to the sound of wind rustling through his open window, birds squawking and bees buzzing. "Ugh.." he lays in bed, staring up at the ceiling that had paint chipping off. To his surprise, he hears silence in the house.

Simon sits up and gets off the bed, stumbling his way across through the short hallway where he meets Ellie in front of the television. "Ellie? You haven't opened the shop yet?" Simon mumbles, rubbing his eyes as he tries to focus on what the reporter on the TV was saying.

"There have been countless cases of children reported missing, this crime case has been mysteriously continued for over the past 5 decades."

Simon's ears perk up and his eyes widen, suddenly intrigued by the news reported out. Both Ellie and Simon, remained quiet, watching the news, Ellie glanced at Simon worriedly, "that's horrible news," Simon nodded in response.

"Today we'll just be taking a break, my pastry making will need to pause for a bit," Ellie says while closing the TV, standing up as she uses Simon's arm to help her up.

"Oh.. so today will just be a free day?" Simon smiles and leads Ellie over to the bathroom, helping her with brushing her teeth as he did every morning.

A few hours go by and Ellie decides that she's okay for the rest of the day by herself, planning to just sit and watch the TV. So Simon decided to go out, meeting up with his friends who had already suggested that they go to a party that was being held by some some guy going by the name 'Dylan.'

Simon wears a light shirt with a black jacket and black jeans, meeting up with Clyde and Hector at the same skatepark where the decided to walk off from. The party wasn't that far, only a 5 minute walk from the skatepark. The three boys walked up to a house with multiple people on the front yard, either intoxicated by the alcohol or just tired out of their mind.

"I don't think I'm gonna drink, I got a grandma to take care of," Simon says as he follows the other two inside, Clyde and Hector nodding along.
"I think I'm gonna have a few drinks, I'm no lightweight," Clyde says with a smile, walking to the kitchen where the drinks were. Simon stayed with Hector and chatted as the music played loudly in the back ground, some drunk men and women dancing on the floor and on the tables, while some even danced in their own puke.

"Ugh.. that's nasty," Hector muttered, staying behind Simon as if he was some shield. Simon just chuckled and nodded along as he watched everyone at least have fun in the room.
"Did you watch the news this morning? Like.. about all those kidnapped children or sum," Hector glanced at Simon who spoke with concern, thinking for a moment. "I did, to think that it's been going on for decades is horrifying.." Hector sighs and leans against the wall, though the news this morning did bring some nostalgic feeling, the bad kind.

"I shouldn't think too much about it, but it feels familiar," Simon says in a frustrated tone, not liking the feeling of having some sort of connection to these news.
Hector nods, patting Simon's shoulder. "I feel the same man, there's just something there that is just familiar. But we shouldn't be talking about this, cmon let's play some games," Hector drags Simon across the room and outside in the back yard where some games without alcohol were being held.

On the other side, was Clyde playing beer pong along with some other party animals who cheered him on.

Dylan, the party host was seen in the back corner, making out with a chic. They were both most likely drunk at this point, seeing as how the drink in her hand tipped over the both of them as her lipstick smeared all over their faces.

Simon follows behind Hector, playing with the dart, having a small competition between them.
"Dang, I can't aim at all," Simon laughs at his poor attempts at hitting the dart board. Before having another shot, he was almost tipped over with the weight of someone leaning against him and Hector.

"Woah.. is this dude okay?" Hector grabs a hold of the stranger and places him on the ground, standing up straight. With his long, curly hair slicked back into a ponytail and his neck covered in lipstick stains, it was obvious he was some sort of popular guy.
"Woah-!" Simon and Hector both catch of a hold of the drunk man, using their strength to drag him across the yard and putting him in a sitting position against the wall.
"You.. hic, are fine.. hic," the man slurs his words as he remains drunk on the ground. Simon chuckles and crouches down in front of the man, taking the cup out of his hand.

"Who is this guy? He can't even hood himself up," Hector says while crouching down as well, glancing at Simon who shrugged. "I dunno, but he seems like a fun guy, I think. Let's just hope he isn't some horny guy," Simon snickers, taking his jacket off to put on the drunk man.

"Hey.. thisssss.. is not mine.." the man spoke up again, taking the jacket off of him as he began to feel sweaty. He stood up again, as if he managed to sober up in less than 5 seconds.
"More drinks.." he muttered before stumbling away back into the house, grabbing the cup back down Simon.

Simon glanced at Hector and both men decided to follow him, in case he gets in a bit of trouble.
They all get in the kitchen again, Simon and Hector watching him fill up his cup. "He is drunk out of his mind," Hector says with an amused expression, although keeping his face the same as always.
Suddenly, a girl came over and went over to the drunk man, seemingly annoyed at the drunk behaviour.

"Ugh.. Astro! You said you weren't going to get drunk!" The girl says while grabbing the cup from the said Astro. She glanced at Simon and Hector and gave them a small smile. "Sorry, my friend can be a bit of a hand full at parties.."

Simon shakes his hand, reassuring her that nothing was wrong. "Ah.. no it's fine, it's pretty funny when he gets up and about," Hector nods in agreement, leaning against the kitchen counter.
"I'm Ella, nice to meet you two."

"Simon,"
"Hector,"

They all shared a their names and introduced themselves, Ella turned back to Astro and rolled her eyes, slinging his arm around her shoulders.

"It was nice to meet you two, but uh.. could you help me get this man on a bed?" She asks with a smile, a desperate one at that.

Simon and Hector nod as they help her drag him over to a bedroom, putting him down with tired sighs.

This would be an interesting night.
