Nesscas Oneshot Haven

Mystery Number

Lucas

I went out for a late-night walk through the town of Onett. I don't normally come out here at night, I sort of frightens me. The dark sky and the large buildings, larger than Tazmily at least, scare me. Not too much to deter me from doing it now, but it was at once. I saw a bus stop bench nearby. It was overlooking a baseball field. I walked over to it and sat. I took one deep breath of fresh air. The air was cool and calming. I looked up into the night sky. There was only one singular visible star twinkling right above me. I smirked at the sight and heard vibration. I looked to my lower right and saw a phone. I raised an eyebrow and picked it up. It seems the vibration was due to the phone dying. I tried many times to turn it on, but nothing.

I looked around to see if anyone was coming to get the phone. After waiting for a few minutes I pocketed the phone. I walked back home. Upon entry, I ran to my room. I live in a run-down motel, but it's enough for me and my dad. Soon he got up for work. "Lucas, why are you up so late?" he asked rubbing his eye.

"I-I just woke up, I'm finding a rag so I can clean a cup and drink some milk," I lied. He tilted his head.

"The second drawer on the left," he said as he entered the bathroom. I sighed a large sigh of relief. Good job Lucas, you did well. I obtained the rag and entered the kitchen to make it seem like I was getting the milk. Once I heard my dad leave the bathroom and leave the room I resumed my search. I took a second look at the phone for what type of charger it needs.

"Android, K," I say to myself. I soon found a charger underneath some underwear. Why was it under there, I dunno don't ask me. I hopped on my bed and reached to unplug my phone to plug this one it. A few minutes of waiting came but then the phone turned on which blinded me with white Light. Boney heard my whimpering and jumped on my bed. He started to worriedly lick my face. I started to giggle. "Ok Boney, I'm ok, get down," I say in between giggles. He barks then jumps off the bed. I turn my attention to the phone. I turn on the phone and saw that it had a few missed calls and text messages. I swiped on the screen and a passcode came on. "Fuck, what would a password be?" I ask. I then turned the phone off and one once more. I looked at the background. There could be a clue there. It was that baseball field from earlier. With some people standing at what I think is the Pitcher's Mound. I know them. They're known as the popular kids in school. Ness, Ninten, Paula, to name a few. I blushed a little when I saw Ness. I'm not going to lie, I've had a crush on him for a while. Due to his popularity, I definitely don't get to speak to him, and he's definitely with Paula.

I then swiped the screen once more and got to the password. It was a word password, and with the picture, it has to be something about baseball right? I tried to strike, nope. I had to strike that off, get it, no, K, I'll stop. I tried ball, the literal Baseball, and even his team name. Nothing. I sighed and was going to give up. "Did I really think I'd hit this out the park, like, wait a second," I said out loud. I turned back to the phone and typed the word Homerun, and I was in.

I brought down the menu to look who called and texted. One call was from someone titled mom, and the others were from an unknown number. I looked at the messages. They were all from this same unknown number. I tapped on it, and read the messages.

??: Hello

??: Please tell me someone is reading these

??: Man, my mom is going to kill me

Me: Hello?

When I texted him back I turned the phone off and placed it by my side, not expecting a response until the morning. I started to doze off until the phone rang once more. I picked it up.

??: Oh thank god

Me: Is this your phone?

??: Yea, but I lost it
