Hellgate High

Chapter Fifteen

I slept in very late and just dreamt my problems away. Why go through trouble and strife when you could just lay down and be unconscious for a while. I sure as hell would rather just sleep my whole life than go to school or get a job. I can just dream a life up that has no problems or responsibilities. A perfect land under my control.

As ideal as that sounds it's not possible. Plus if I slept forever I would never eat again. I love food to much for that. Speaking of food, It's lunchtime. I put my phone in my pocket and didn't even bother to look at the notifications. Why look if I already knew what was there. I dragged myself to the kitchen and fixed myself some microwave mash potatoes. I cooked my food and sat down. After I ate I made my way back to my room and got back in bed.

My bed was so comfortable. I could just lay there forever. Why not? Oh right, food. I opened my phone and looked to see if I had any text messages. Nope. I put on the "Cats the Musical" soundtrack and just closed my eyes. I laid there putting myself in a world where all I had to do was take naps and groom myself. Am I a furry? Honestly, I probably am.

I was just getting to the good part of "Memory" when I get a call. I looked at my phone and it was Alex. I picked up my phone and answered it.

"Hey Alex what's up?"

"I don't know."

"What do you mean you don't know?"

"Well I can't stop thinking about you so I decided to call you."

"Oh. Well is there anything specific you want to talk about!"

"No."

"Ummm okay, how had your day been?"

"Boring, as usual."

"Meee to."

"Well at least I'm not alone."

"Right."

"So whatcha doin."

"I was listening to some music but now I'm talking to you. What about you?"

"Just laying in bed thinking about life."

"Sounds fun. Whatcha thinking about?"

"The whole situation."

"Yeah, its things like that that make me give up on humanity."

"Pretty much yeah."

"Well I guess it's what we get for doing something so scandalous in public."

"I have things more scandalous in mind."

"Oh really?"

"Yep, we could've shook hands."

"Oh my, you psycho."

"I know, I'm crazy."

"Yep, just like me."

He chuckled.

"Yeah, just like you."

Someone called his name, they sounded angry.

"Ill be right back."

"Okay."

I heard him drop his phone and walk away. I could hear the noise of an angry man yelling. He sounded really mad, although I couldn't really make out what he was saying. I heard a door slam. Alex picked up the phone.

"Hey I gotta go."

"Oh, okay. I'll talk to you latter."

He hung up. I wonder what that was about. I hope he's okay. I don't know, I'll just get back to Cats. I turned my music back on and drifted away. What I would give to be Grisabella. Just get reborn, leave my problems behind me. Ugh, that would be great. Well I can just belt out "Memory" and hope for the best.
