My eyes are glued to my phone screen as my thumbs danced on the screen, tapping the black tiles and dragging it at the appropriate time.

I tried not to look at the increasing number bold in red so that I won't get distracted.

Of course, the longer you stare, the more your eyes will sting.

This is why I hate people playing games on my phone. They will beat my high score and I'll have to beat them. Especially if they are a professional at it.

My stomach growled in hunger. I guess winning makes me hungry. I stood up and head downstairs to the kitchen to hunt for food.

Aunt Maria is in the kitchen. Damn. She is wiping the counter. That means she is cleaning up the kitchen. In other words, no more cooking.

"Do you want some dinner leftovers?" Maria asked.

It took me a moment to realize that she was talking to me.

"Uh... what's for dinner?" I asked her, walking into the kitchen.

"Meatball spaghetti. It's in the fridge. You just need to heat it up." Maria said.

I groaned internally. One, I don't feel like eating spaghetti since that's what I have been eating for the past few days. Two, I want burgers instead.

I gave Maria an apologetic look. "Is it okay if I go to McDonald's instead? I want burgers."

Maria sighed. "Okay but don't be late."

"Thanks, I won't be late." I peck her cheek before grabbing my car keys on the dining table.

When I got out of the house, my car wasn't there. Only Sabrina's. Weird. I thought I parked it right in front of the house. I groaned. Sabrina must have used my car again. I looked at the car key. No wonder there's an 'S' keychain attached to the car key.

I had no choice but to take Sabrina's car. I don't get it. Why use mine if she has her own car? I hope she doesn't leave even a scratch on my car.

I finally reached the McDonald drive-thru and ordered my meal. After receiving my meal, I drove to the park and stayed in my car as I devour my meal.

Of course, I'm hungry and it's a known fact that you can't stop a hungry guy from eating too fast. So finished my meal within minutes.

There's a problem though... I'm bored.

I wanted to go to Owen's house but he has too many incomplete homeworks to do. Danny has dinner with his parents right now. Harry... yeah he should be free right now.

I started my car and drove to Harry's house. Since there's hardly any cars at this time, I reached his house in less than five minutes.

I looked at the time. It's 9:30pm. His parents should be asleep. I got out of the car and climb into Harry's room on the second storey.

Don't worry, I do this all the time even when Harry's parents are home.

I know their type, they are the ones who cares a lot about what the society thinks of them. Especially when the family is known as the 'perfect family' in town.

Thankfully Harry isn't like that but because of his family, he has to join the football team and to ace in school.

I slowly pushed up the window and climb into the messy room. While waiting for Harry to enter his room, I lay on his bed with my hands behind my head.
