The Pocky Game

“Bring me back a lot of pocky, please,” I asked as I saw my mommy walk out the front door. I walked over to my room bored and just looked around for anything to do. Why must my room be so boring? I looked through one of my drawers and found a big bag of rubber bands. Why do I have these? I never even use rubber bands. I put them on my bed and glance over at the clock, and see it’s barely 8:39. Might as well call Nat now and see if she wants to come over. I pick up my cell and sit with the rubber band bag in front of me. I empty it all out before pressing call and just hear the rings.

“Derp derp derp. This is Nat,” I heard on the other side and giggled. She is such a derp. My laughing in turn caused her to laugh and we both were caught in one of those vicious giggle attacks. Once we were both able to calm down without suddenly exploding into laughter, I spoke again.

“Yo Nat, do you think you can spend the night tonight so it’s less of a worry tomorrow?” I ask while making a rubber band ball, all while holding the phone with my shoulder.

“Ummm… I’m sure it’s fine, but let me just ask. Here talk to George?” she said before I heard rustling.

“Hewwo?” George asked in the cutest voice ever. George was Nathaly’s four-year-old brother that I just adore with all my heart

“Hey George, what’ve you been up to?” I asked practically imagining his adorable little face. He is too cute for his own good. He has light brown hair, hazel eyes and the cutest laugh ever. In addition, just like all the other little kids he cannot properly pronounce all his words but has that cute little kid speak going on. Even at that young age, he was a big gamer and beast at Mario kart.

“I just beat Nat and daddy at mawio kawt,” he said in his most excited voice. If only I would’ve been there, I would’ve given him a high five and a cookie. Anyone who beats people at that game at the age of four deserves a cookie. Before you think that they go easy on him, they don’t. Trust me I know. He gets really into the game, almost as bad as me. Remember that time I played with Logan; picture that but 10x worse. He actually tricks you into losing. He’ll be all like “Paige, thewe’s a shortcut, just go thwough thewe.” And when you do go, you die and he beats you. It happens every single time. He’s also known to push you and make you mess up tons of times.

“When awe you gonna come Paige? I wanna pway mawio kawt with you,” he asked and I couldn’t help but awww in my head.

“I’ll be there on Saturday, George. You can count on it. Don’t worry; nothing will keep me away from you George. Nothing. Not even if a giant narwhal threatened to take over the world and I was the last person with the only magical unicorn that can capture the narwhal. Not even if wild Pikachus did capture me on my way to your house, I would find a way out. Not even if I had to host a dance party for a dozen monkeys. Nothing!!!” I yelled dramatically into the phone. Nothing was going to keep me away.

“Paige?” Nat asked while trying hard not to giggle. Where did George go? I thought I was talking to him. Where did Nathaly come from?

“George left right after you said Saturday,” she said letting go all of the barriers and letting out a giant gut-busting laugh. Well that just showed how much he cared. I threw my rubber band ball up at the air and caught it, doing a little victory dance at my accomplishment.

“Sooo, what did they say?” I asked desperate enough to get away from the subject of George just leaving me in the middle of my long, well- thought out, amazing speech. I threw the rubber band ball again but thing time I missed horribly and it hit my head. Ouch! Well, it didn’t really hurt but it surprised me.

“They said of course. I’ll be there in a little bit,” she said and I could already hear her rushing out of the house and into her car. Yea, I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this but Nathaly can drive. Well, everyone can, except for me. It’s not that I don’t want to learn it’s just that I never have time to learn. After I hung up with her, I headed over to the living room turning on my TV and whipping out my wii. Talking to George made me want to start gaming out.
