Chapter 9:

Mr.Ladiesman

Sunday

'Ugh, why is there so much light in here?' I groan. I feel like shit. My head is pounding and my sight is a little blurry when I try to open my eyes. 'Looord.' I groan again and I fall back into my pillows. I put one over my head. It feels like my brain has just been run over by a car. No not a car, a bunch of big , fat, galloping rendeers. I sigh. At first I thought I had one of my seizures, or whatever I'm supposed to call those attacks, again. But this is different. It's just... Pain.
'Gahh.' I cry out. How am I still alive.
My phone buzzes next to me, unexpectedly and I shriek. 'Leave me alone.' I mumble to the phone.

But only seconds later it buzzes again, and again, and again.
'What do you want?!' I shout. And right after I am so sorry I did. 'My head..'
And the phone keeps buzzing so I just hit 'answer'.
'What?' I snarl into the phone.
'Someone is in a great mood..' I hear my brother say.
'Oh, hi Ric.' I mumble.
'Bad night?' He asks.
'Night was awesome. More like a bad morning.' I sigh and groan.
He laughs. 'I see, you're hungover aren't you?'
'I guess.' I say.
'Well, congrats, it's your first time!' He shouts.
'Ric, please don't.. Scream at me.' I sigh, my head is pounding like crazy.
He chuckles. 'How is your job?'
'Boring as hell.' I say. 'And my colleague, Grumpy Dumpy, is still as grumpy as before.'
He laughs. 'Tomorrow is your first day of class!' He says.
'I know..' I mumble.
'What, aren't you excited?' He asks.
'Not right now...' I groan.
He chuckles 'Hey, I gotta go anyway. Marlene and I are going out tonight and I just wanted to check on you.'
'Wait, what time is it?' I mumble.
'Half past one p.m. for you, sis.' He chuckles.
I groan. 'Darn.'
'Good luck with your hangover, I'll talk to you later.' He says.
'Bye..'
'Oh, take an aspirin, it'll help.' He says before hanging up.

I put my phone on the bedstand and get out of bed. Why am I so dizzy? I walk over to the kitchen and open the cupboard with the medecins. Thank God, I brought aspirins. It's not unusual for me to get migraines.
When I've taken one, I make a cup of tea and sit down at the small table. I decide to go online.
There is this website where you can chat with other people all around the world. I tried it with Tae thursday and it's really fun.
I go online, but I see Tae isn't. I sigh and just look around in chat rooms, but I get bored soon. Until I suddenly hear a pling.

Mr.Ladiesman: Hey :)

Someone started a private chat with me. I look at the name and the picture but it isn't clear, I can't see what he looks like. Even though his name makes it seem like he's just another one of those pervie guys, I decide to answer.

BluegreenKam: Hi

Yeah, Tae picked my username..

Mr.Ladiesman: How are you today?
BluegreenKam: Miserable, you?
Mr.Ladiesman: I'm okay. You ill?
BluegreenKam: Sort of..
Mr.Ladiesman: What is it?
BluegreenKam: I have a hangover
Mr.Ladiesman: :'D I see.. Wild night, ay.
BluegreenKam: Guess so
Mr.Ladiesman: So is this what you do on a Sunday afternoon when you have a hangover? Talk to strangers?
BluegreenKam: Not really.
Mr.Ladiesman: :) So what do you usually do on a free afternoon?
BluegreenKam: painting, drawing... Or reading
Mr.Ladiesman: you like art?
BluegreenKam: yeah c:
Mr.Ladiesman: looks like we got something in common then!
BluegreenKam: you paint?
Mr.Ladiesman: Yep, I love it
BluegreenKam: Me too :)

Looks like I finally found someone who's not a perv!

Mr.Ladiesman: Do you study arts?
BluegreenKam: no, I don't study
Mr.Ladiesman: oh! You look like you got the age of a student on your picture
BluegreenKam: I do. I just don't study
Mr.Ladiesman: You work?
BluegreenKam: yeah, in a supermarket. How about you?
Mr.Ladiesman: I study arts :D
BluegreenKam: oh! :p
Mr.Ladiesman: Would you like too?
BluegreenKam: yes.. I would
Mr.Ladiesman: So why don't you?
BluegreenKam: I don't know if you noticed, but it costs money :(
Mr.Ladiesman: Ah right, I understand :/
BluegreenKam: ;c
Mr.Ladiesman: I'm sorry.. I have rich parents, so I basically don't have to do anything to get in. But it's not fair.
BluegreenKam: I guess some people are just born in the wrong family..

I sigh.. This brings memories back from my life in Aurora Skies.

Mr.Ladiesman: oh.. Is there trouble in your family? (You don't have to answer if you don't want to)
BluegreenKam: My parents got divorced when I was young and my dad was an asshole..
Mr.Ladiesman: I'm so sorry.. My parents are divorced too.
BluegreenKam: /:
Mr.Ladiesman: unfortunately I have to leave you now..
BluegreenKam: aw, okay.
Mr.Ladiesman: but it was so nice to meet you!
BluegreenKam: you too!
Mr.Ladiesman: bye!
BluegreenKam: see ya

Mr.Ladiesman has left the chat.

I'm smiling, this guy is so nice. I notice my head is still pounding like crazy but I was too distracted to feel it earlier.
I lie down on my bed and start to think about him, Mr.Ladiesman. I wonder why his parents got divorced. With mine it was all my fault...
