I take a deep breath and put on some loose jeans, a black tee-shirt, and a black hoodie. I grab my wallet and house keys. I also grab my carbonitride titanium AUS-8 Callimus pocket knife and put it the clip end in my pocket, the knife showing on my jeans. 

I walk out of my room and rub my eyes. I walk down the stairs and grab my car keys. I open the garage door and step into my car. I start up the car and I roll down the window. 

"Maria, open the garage door," I say simply. Yes, I named my housing system after my mother. Fight me. 

"Of course, Ryan." She says back. I smile and the garage door opens. I back out of my driveway and turn on my communication radio.

"Maria, please close the garage door," I say, locking my eyes on the road.

"Will do, Ry." She says simply. I chuckle and turn off the C.R. I turn on my normal radio and turn up the volume a little. It's one of my favorite songs. 

Some legends are told,

Some turn to dust or to gold,

But you will remember me,

Remember me for centuries.

And just one mistake,

Is all it will take,

We'll go down in history,

Remember me for centuries.

Remember me for centuries.

I stop at a stop sign and look for passing cars. When I know that there is no one, I cross the intersection. I hum along to the song and smile to myself. 

I gently tap the leather steering wheel and I turn down the radio. I stop at a stoplight and watch the light. After a minute, it turns green. I start driving again and look to my side, for just a half a second. I see a guy with black hair, and that's all I see of him. I turn left and see the mall. I pull into the parking and drive around, looking for a place to park. 

When I find one, I park in it.  I get out and lock the car. I walk into the mall and take a deep breath. I hear the conversations of everyone in here. I start walking through the massive building, looking at the stores. I walk into a Hot Topic (Shut up, it's a good store) and look around. 

After ten minutes, I buy a My Chemical Romance hoodie, a My Hero Academia tee shirt of Deku, a Twenty-One Pilots hoodie, and a Panic! At the Disco tee. I smile at what I got. Yay.

I walk out of the mall and set the bags in the back of my car. I get in the car and drive to a Walmart. I buy a few plain white tee shirts for when I'm working downstairs. I drive home and put everything in the washing machine. 

I sigh and pick up my backpack. I sort through it, making sure I have everything for my Junior year, which is tomorrow. This'll be fun. 

Probably.
