Paper promise

Yellow secrets.

"Hey! Come back here you little brat!" Nathan was running around the campus while I ran for my life with his phone. He said he was texting someone he liked. I needed to know that as the awesome friend I was.

It had now been three week since we met, and I have no problem saying he was just an older Ime. A tall, strong,very bulky but soft for puppies Ime.

"Cam, are you serious?! He's gonna hate me after this! "

I stopped dead in my tracks as he stopped too, panting some meters behind me.

"....So that's a 'He'? My, I didn't know you swung that way~." A smirk formed on my mouth as I ran away for the nth time in two hours, Nat clearly done with my shit since the first time we ran across the whole campus.

"Aren't you- aren't you supposed to wait-",he coughed loudly and rested his hands on his knees for a minute, stabilizing his breathing,"Don't you..don't you have that fine arts painting assignment for Friday? For all I know you spent all your time on twitter and Youtube watching pet crabs videos."

Touché.

"Well the crabs are cuter than you." I tossed the phone in his direction as Bulky Ime grabbed it in extremis, a glare boring into my soul.

"See ya loser! I'll ace that assignment." I waved at him and went to take the bus home. The night was chilly for autumn as dead leaves fell down trees, landed on the ground, decomposed, became humus to fertilize even more trees that will repeat the same thing again and again, showing us the cycle of life-wow the bus is here.

The ride was calm.

Just kidding, a kid was crying the whole time and there was two nervous dudes sitting next to each other, one of them wrapped in a huge green sweater occasionally telling his brother that pretending to be girls at a party was a bad idea.

Kids are wild these days.

The apartment was quiet as always, just Amber watching TV and Jojo...being the sweet and adorable rabbit he is.

Unless the fact that the TV was turned off and Amber was nowhere to be seen.

Strange.

"Aww man... Where's Tangier at? And I thought we were gonna do something together. Like watching TV, laughing at my incompetent self as I panick through the assignment, a casual battle to the death..ordering a pizza..Something like that at least."

The living room was a complete mess. There were books on each possible surface, even on the top of a half-finished coffee that was sadly waiting for its owner *cough* Amber *cough* to end its suffering. A big, fluffy red blanket was crumbled on the couch. It is supposed to be mine, but I think someone else found it.

Surprisingly the kitchen sink was devoid of dirty dishes but the fridge was almost empty and there was this weird, burnt smell around the stove.

Guess I have to do the groceries..

The evening was chilly as I went down the block to the small supermarket. The lady working there was so sweet and once she even gave me a fruit roll for free. So it doesn't matter that her boss is a literal asshole who has the worst voice ever.

It seriously sounds like a fork on a blackboard every time he opened his mouth to say whatever stupidity such as "No you're not allowed that discount cuz it finished thirty seven seconds ago bla bla bla."

Anyways it was solo night with Jojo and we all know what happens when I'm alone at home.

~~~~~~~~

"Eduardo you asshole she fucking loves you!"

I was yelling at the TV like a crazy person while Jojo looked at me with an annoyed rabbit face.

I think the poor thing just wanted to sleep, but what can I do if Eduardo-that asshole- was too blind to see that Esmeralda loved him to death.

Of course he had to listen to his mother in law -Oriana that bitch- and now he's stuck married to Loretta -the other bitch.

"The kid isn't even yours! Ivan is the dad seriously what a dumbass.."

"What are you watching at three am?"

I would recognize that voice between thousands. I turned my head towards the entrance and Amber was looking at me. Actually I'm sure she was secretly judging me for not waiting for her ass to watch the new episode.

"The new episode of Revolt and Revolver. Esmeralda found out that Eduardo wasn't leaving Loretta and is currently crying about it. Samuel is trying to comfort her but he got friendzoned. Again."

"Ah I see."

She plopped on one of the chairs of the dining table right behind the couch. Her eyes were fixed on her phone and from where I was I could distinguish texts. She was also slightly smiling at the texts and the novelas seemed less and less interesting.

"Where were you?"

"Oh um..nowhere I just.." she put her phone on the table and smiled." I just went out with some friends from college."

"First, till three in morning? And second,do you even have friends?"

Amber glared at me and took off her bulky, fluffy coat before forcefully throwing in on the couch, more precisely on my face.

"Firstly you sound like my mom and secondly, what are you then?"

"Your mom?"

"I'm older than you-"

"By two weeks that doesn't count."

"If that doesn't count then you gave birth before being born, meaning you are a thirsty hoe."

"Don't talk to your mother like that."

"You're not my mom!"

"Kids these days, not even respecting their elders.."

"I'm older than you!"

The TV was muted a while ago as I stood up to pick up Jojo who was wide awake by then and wanted a hug.

"I was born later than I should've and you're a premature baby by a month."

"....Wow how do you know-"

"Because I'm your mom young lady."

Her mom told me that one time she took twenty minutes to get her make up done and fifteen more to choose an outfit. The cutest baby photos ever.
