Mason

---

I'm not the superhero I always wanted to be.

"Mom!" I threw my bag across the room when I got home, "Mom!"

"Not. Now . Mason! I'm trying to meausre A.J's medicine." I heard a yell from upstairs.

"Come on mom! It's important!" I begged. This was the first I needed my mother in forever.

"Mason, do your homework!"

I sighed and collapsed on the couch. My parents told me I was understanding. I am certainly not understanding. What makes A.J so important? She's 9 years old, she should be able to handle herself.

I pulled out my phone and texted my friends Shawn and Ryan. I asked them if they wanted to come over, and they said yes. I pulled out my science homework and I got started. My home life is fairly boring. So let me skip to when the Two doofuses came over.

"Yo Mason, you wanna be in our new vlog?" Shawn asked waving his phone like it was candy I wanted.

I looked at him and frowned. "Dude you know I hate your vlogs."

"Come on man," Ryan said in his heavy Australian ascent.

I shook my head and they finally gave up.

"Do you guys know that girl Owen?" Ryan asked.

I perked up.

"Wait what does she look like?" I asked.

"I dunno like wavy brown hair, bright blue eyes, nice eyebrows."

That's my mystery girl. My Owen:

"Anyway she's really hot. Don't you think Mason? I would love to date that." Ryan raised his eyebrows up and down.

I felt my jaw clench together and my hands get sweaty. My face heated up and I turned red.

"You have no right! Her name is Owen, and she is not a that! She perfect, and beautiful, and kind, and better then anyone I've ever met!" I screamed. When I finished I stepped back and breathed, horrified by my actions. That's when they started laughing.

"What!" I panicked, "Why are you laughing!?"

"Dooooode, that was epic! This video will be so good!" Shawn laughed.

"Wait-"

"Mason we don't actually have a crush on Owen... we are doing a expose Your friend video." Shawn explained.

"Get out of my house."
