High School Drama: The Unknown

I was on the phone. After 3 rings, he answered.

"Hey, I was wondering if you would like to come over and play Monopoly with me. You see, it's this new board-"

"No. I'm not coming over."

I was cut of by a rude voice. Him being rude was very foreign to me. I decided to ignore it and breathed out.

"It's the newest boardgame and I made Dad and Mom buy it for me so that we can pl-"

"I SAID THAT I'M NOT COMING OVER!"

His shout startled me. He never, and I mean NEVER shouted at me with this much frustration in his voice.

"A-are you s-sure? If y-you are we c-can play it s-some o-other time."

"I won't be coming back. EVER."

I heard the dial tone after that, signaling that he hung up on me.

I tried to keep myself from crying, but a single tear rolling down my cheek was all it took to start the waterworks.

I knocked on his front door, patiently waiting.

The door opened after a few minutes and I saw him. He looked sickly pale and dehydrated.

"Hey.." I said unsurely.

"What are you doing here?" he said.

I masked my pained look with a forced smile.

"I'll be going to a boarding school for 4 years. I wanted to sa-"

"THEN LEAVE!" he shouted, slamming the door at my face.

I cried, running to the awaiting car that'll drive me to the airport. I was too busy crying that I didn't notice him staring at my leaving car as he cried silently.

-

After 4 years.

As I arrived, I looked out the window.

I sighed. Welcome home.
