*2 week since school got out*
Tonight was the night I decided to be adventurous.
"You can do it, Marcel." I encouraged myself.
I hesitantly picked up the slice of pizza in front of me.
"It's only gluten and processed cheese. Don't be such a wimp, Marcel!" I told myself.
Slowly, I put the tiniest fraction of the pizza inside my mouth. And chewed. And swallowed.
"Way to go, Marcel!" I congragulated myself. "That was tough, but you handled it well."
I confidently walked to the trash bin and threw away the rest of the pizza.
"You're a new man now," I smiled.
"Oh, Marcellllllll!" Betty called.
"Yes?" I responded.
"You're going out tonight! You've been inside this house and haven't been out once!"
"But I-"
"Shh shshshhhh!" She hushed me. "Here are my keys, now get! I don't want to see you back until midnight at the earliest!" she told me.
Midnight?! But bad things happen at night! Oh, Marcel, look what you've gotten yourself into.
"Now go!" Betty started pushing me out the front door. Once I was out of the house, she slammed the door.
"Oh my goodness, Marcel." I said.
I stood there for 2 seconds before the door opened once more.
"I almost forgot!" Betty said. "Here's some money to buy yourself a few drinks. Have fun!" she smiled and waved before slamming the door once again.
"Well, Marcel.. You can do this!" I walked to the car, turned the key in the ignition, and made my way to the city.
"You're a new man, Marcel!" I unsuccessfully said, trying to motivate myself. "A new man.." *Gulp*
