Walking on the cracked concrete path, my step a little shaky, as was my breath. Coming home was always something that got my adrenaline pumping. The route to my home was a complicated one, as the apartment building was on the edge of town, and the buses could not get all the way there. A few people also lived in the same apartments as me, but I did not know them well. I walked up the stairs to the second floor, and I approached the door which had the faded gold numbers reading 216. My mother and I lived here ever since my father was arrested for drug use. I'm surprised they never caught my mother for that same crime, but my mother is an expert at hiding things and manipulation. I sort of admire her in that way, but I know better than to allow her to get the better of me. As soon as I enter the house, I look at the shoe tray. Mom is not home. Seeing this, I decide to sit on the couch and check my phone. It's 2:45, and though my stomach grumbles, I don't dare to take anything from the pantry or the fridge.
I tend to play Minecraft a lot, as it's gained popularity again recently, and I enjoy creative things. I go onto a world where I've been building a big western city in a mesa biome. I continue construction of the local bar, and about half an hour in, I see "_GreeneyLeaf_ joined the world." We have been collaborating on this build for about 2 months, playing almost every weekend. She's a good friend of mine, but we go to different schools, and I've only ever met her once in reality. Despite the people who know about us thinking that we are, we aren't dating. We're too good of friends to do that, and besides, our lives aren't connected enough for it to be a logical option. I get onto discord and call her.
"Hey Leafy!"
"Hey Balloon! How's it going?"
"It's going alright, just got out of school. I met this new girl today and she seems uh.. nice-pretty nice"
"Oh yeah? Sounds cool! Wish I could say the same, but everyone still hates me as usual." She said with a bitterness, "By the way, how's the Bar coming along?"
"It's looking like a Wild West movie, man."
"Perfect! Oh, don't forget to get the sheriffs office fixed after that explosion."
"Yeah yeah, I didn't mean to blow it up-"
"What a tragedy!" she said, a dramatic western flair added, "the poor sheriff will never be the same again!"
"Eyyyy shad ap!!" I added a totally out of nowhere mobster accent, as it was a running joke between us. For the next 5 minutes we just said "ey shad ap!" back and forth. It was fun, and when I looked at the clock it was suddenly 6:30. I decided to cook something for dinner, saying goodbye to Leafy.
