One Summer afternoon, I was in my pajamas, happily(or maybe not) sucking on iced pickles and doing a test on my computer when something impossible happened and I started to doubt my sanity.
Hmmm, this question's very difficult, I guess I'll choose C then. When in doubt, always choose C. Before I can click on C, someone appeared out of thin air and was sitting on my unmade and very messy bed. That person wasn't just some random dude, it happened to be my crush. And yes, I was in my pajamas, sprawling on my couch with pickle juice on my lips. I did a mental calculation and told myself to stay calm. I quickly clicked C and turned to my crush (let's just call him Dom because that's a guy in a book I was reading). "What on Earth are you doing here???" I asked. "I-uh, I was... How would I know???" he replied. I groaned in frustration and said, "Look, I'm doing a timed test now, just read a book or something and I'll deal with you later." I returned to the test and occasionally looked up to see him reading Harry Potter upside down, clearly confused by the situation like I was.
After I finished the test, I dashed to my sister's room and got changed. When I returned to my room, Dom was still reading Harry Potter, now he set the book in the right position. He pretended to be very intrigued by the book. I tapped him on the shoulder and put on my best bossy face which probably looked like a constipated chicken or something. "Hey! Do you have your phone or something with you? You should call your parents and get you out of here before my mom and sister come back from swimming!" He stared blankly at me, "Nooo..." I sighed and got my phone. "What's their number?" He told me his mom's phone number and I dialed.
1 minute later...
"Beeeep, the user you are calling is not available, please try again later. Beeep" I dialed again, this time calling for his dad.
1minute later...
"Beeeep, the user you are calling is not available, please try again later. Beeep" I facepalmed and turned to Dom, " I'll have to hide you for a while then, we can't risk others seeing you, how can I explain if they do?" He simply shrugged. Welp, that helped a lot. He stared at me who was in deep thought for a while and said, "So, where do you suggest hiding me?" "The basement, I suppose, no one really goes down there." He nodded solemnly. "Here, choose any book you like here and I'll take you downstairs." He scanned my collection of books and asked, "Umm, can I play with your phone or something?" That moment, I started to doubt my taste in boys, I started to not "uncrush" him, if that's a word. "No." I demanded angrily. "Fine." He sighed, grabbing a graphic novel and the Harry Potter book he was reading. We stopped at the kitchen, I grabbed a stash of snacks and poured a cup of water for him, "Take these, I'll check on you later." We went downstairs and sat in silence in the dim, dusty basement. I heard the front door creak and dashed upstairs, while whispering to him, "Don't make a sound!"
A/N: This is fiction (obviously) so the main character IS NOT ME
