Walking home on autopilot*. Completely bored with the world.
On left you see Old man Travis sitting on his porch without a shirt like always. To the right a old lady tending to her dead plants again. Behind me a **gaggle of girls giggling and talking about boys.
Continuing to walk without purpose almost like a sloth. Hoping something interesting might happen.
One of the girls behind me turns left right…. Now. Yep.
After a few blocks I turn to the right onto the walkway to my porch. I live alone most of the time.
My mom is a flight attendant for the EasyFly airlines, so I have the house to myself. Not that it's not great, but it's boring and depressing here.
I pull out my phone to call my only friend Josh.
“What's up Al? Bored again? You need to stop calling me every time you get bored.” Teasing me as he normally did.
Yah he nicknamed me Al.. Of course it wasn’t with my consent; he just chose it as what he wanted to call me.
“Yep, I'm bored. Let's do something this weekend. I heard there is a new arcade opening of 2468 star street. Want to go it sounds cool.” I say trying to find something to pass time during the weekend.
“Sure, we can go tomorrow if you want.” Josh says agreeing to go. “Hey, Al send me a picture of your paper so I can copy it.”
“No” I reply turning him down without hesitation.
“Come on please you know I don’t know this stuff. Just let me. I can't fail this class.” He begs.
“If you suck at so much how did you even get into the class. Sound to me you shouldn't be in it, or rather you should actually study the content.” I say turning him down.

“Please come on. If you don't I won't go with you tomorrow.” Josh threatens.
“Fine. Whatever. There you go. Happy now.” I say as I send a copy of my work to him.
“Yes I am, thanks.” He answers happily from the other side of the phone.
“Sometimes I feel like you just use me for my homework.” I say in a fake depressed voice.
“Isn't that what you are used for. Haha. I'm god, bow down and do my homework.” Making fun of me.
“Why does God have homework?” I reply catching him off guard.
“Um… Uh… Well gods have to learn to be a god first probably. Or something like that. Well I gots to go. Cya.” He says winging it.
“Yah sure. Cya tomorrow. Let's meet in the arcade.” Hanging up and jumping into bed to sleep.

Sitting in the arcade eating some pizza I ordered I see Josh walking in, so I wave him over to where I'm at.
“What's up, want some pizza? It's pepperoni and pineapple.” I offer.
“Sure.” He says as he grabs a piece quickly almost like if he's not fast enough I will stop him. “Let's go play some street fighter.”
“Ok let's go.” I reply as I shuffle out of the booth I'm in.
When I get over there I chose the green guy… I always forget his name. Then we start to fight. Of course, I win.
“Hey Al, let me win. You always win.” He complains about how he lost so easily.
“No you just need to get better.” I answer quickly making him fake some sadness.
“Al why do you hate me. Your so mean to me. We are practically brothers, yet your still mean.” He says teasing me.
“Whatever, let's go choose your next character.” Not taking what he said to heart.
“Ok” starting the next game.
During the game I hear a voice in my head that removes my attention from the game.
