The Ninjas Inside of Us

Chapter 3

We take the bus to Jake's house from school. Mrs. Kaminski, Jake's mom, is at her panini cafe across the street. I walk into his house and into his room. Max jumped on me and almost knocked me to the ground.

"Hey boy," I said. I grabbed his black leash off the wall and hooked it onto his collar. We walked down his street to a gravel trail and walked along it. We did a couple turns until we were way deep in thick spruce trees. Once we reached the weird tree that looked like a lion we turned left and stopped in front of the little stream running through.

This was our spot. No one else comes here but us and its hidden from everything because of the trees. We tie Max's leash to the tree and place our homework on a flat rock. We like it out here because the stream runs freely and the trees open slightly to give us a peek-a-boo view of the sky that always shines a brilliant blue. We are away from everyone, so this spot is very tranquil.

I zip through our homework as usual, super simple. Afterwards, I help Jake with the concepts he doesn't understand. I try to explain it but he usually just nods and copies the answer. When he finishes his copying, We both lie on rocks and talk about things.

"I hate Leila, she's such a slut," he said.

"You should have seen your face, you were sweating like Kevin in gym class," I said.

We walk back through the twisty trails, Max's leash in hand. As we reach his house, I check the clock "5:30." Okay..1 hour for video games.. I thought to myself.

"C'mon let's play minecraft," he said, enthusiastically. I smiled and ran up after him. Max went and ate some food from his bowl as Jake started to power on his game console.

I grabbed the wireless controller and started to play right away, the world generating around my player. My hands were sweating from being shoulder-to-shoulder with Jake. He was so perfect I couldn't concentrate on our game. I looked at his determined face, he looked hot with any expression on his face. I felt the urge to rub my hand along his perfect jawline. Until I was being attacked by a zombie. I killed it with an iron sword and ran back into our awesome treehouse we made.

It had two rooms. One for me, one for Jake. We had an area for our furnaces. Crafting tables, a library, an enchanment table!

We have worked on this world for about two weeks. Soon, we will enter the nether which will lead to us defeating the ender dragon.

I was deeply into mining when I had to use the restroom. I put my controller down and headed to the restroom down the hall and to the left.

His bathroom was very large. It had a sink with a granite countertop and storage underneath. He had a shower with a nozzle the size of my head. It was very neat and organized. And, it smelled just like him in here, like old spice and Calvin Klein cologne.

I wish I could have a bathroom like this, all to myself. He was so lucky to be an only child. I look at myself in the mirror. I sigh. I am definetly not as pretty as Leila with perfect hair and facial features. No wonder Jake still hasen't pulled a move on me yet.

I had long brunette hair that went all the way down my back, but I always put it up in a high ponytail. I had a round nose, big cheekbones, a round jawline. I had straight teeth besides a gap in my two front teeth. And a dimple on my left cheek. I had naturally nice eyebrows and electric blue eyes that were the only features I like about myself.

I go back into his room, down the hall. 

"Took you long enough, did you fall in?" He asked jokingly. I couldn't resist the urge to blush. I look at the clock that says "6:25". I always hate to leave him,"Bye Jake, I'll see you tomorrow. Oh, and thanks for letting me stay," I said. I pet Max on the head, grabbed my bag, and walked out.

I make it home at 6:45. I grab one slice of pizza from the counter and sit at the right corner of the dining table. I eat the slice, savoring the pineapple and ham going down my throat. I take a swig of water and head to my room.

I grab my tank top and shorts (pajamas) and head to the bathroom. It's 7:05 and I get the bathroom until 7:10. I brush my teeth and change into my PJs.

I read a novel about a controlled society until 8:30 when it's lights out.

I let myself drift to sleep.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Sorry I have been inactive for a couple weeks! I was on vacation for that time and now I will be adding more parts to the story since I'm back home.
