Finding A Life :)

Today a man came into Mikey's little hospital area where we both spent last night. he came with a message.
"The manager will talk to you once Agent Mikey is well." he said
"I am well!" Mikey argued
"You know what he means." he muttered
Mikey huffed and crossed her arms over her chest. "Whatever,"
"Goodbye." he said stifly and left. stuck up upperclassmen, too much of snobs to take an argument
after he left i called Skevilwhits and asked him to bring me my laptop and Sims game. he said yes and in a few minutes i had my laptop and game. we were going to play Sims, but Mikey said, "Sweety, you need a life!"
"Hey!" i said. "i do too have a life!"
"you're sitting in a hospital room playing Sims." she pointed out
"because my best friend is stuck here." i added on
she sighed. "just go out, i can play Sims on my own. now LEAVE MISSY!" there was no arguing with Mikey's orders. she got what she wanted wether she could move or not.
"fiiiiiiiiiiiiine!" i said, holding out the I. "call me if you need anything!"
"leave!" she said. "and get a life while your gone, will ya?"
i sighed as i walked out of the room. "yea, yea, yea whatever makes ya happy,"
i decided to go for a walk in the park, maybe i'd find a life on the ground. you never know.
which was true, you never know, i really didn't know that the park could be such a fun place.
if you think i think walking around in circles on the park pathways and looking at the scenery was fun, you thought wrong.
i started out walking around untill i found a patch of grass infront of the river that the park was against. i sat down and listened to the water, i got so bored, but eventually luck came.
a boy walked over to me and sat down right next to me. i looked over and saw that he had brown hair, but i couldn't see his eyes because the sun was shining in them.
"it's nice out here isn't it?" he asked me
"ya," i agreed, but i didn't want to tell him how bored i was
he sighed and fell back onto his back. "but it's so goddamed boring!"
i smiled and leaned back with him. "got that right!" we both laughed.
"so what's your name?" he asked me.
"Alexx," i told him. "and you?"
"John," he told me. "but everyone calls me Etch. like Sketch, but without the S."
"and why do they call you Etch?" i asked
"aparently they think i'm a good artist or something."
"oh,' i looked up to the sky that was filled with clouds. "this may be boring." i told him. "but that cloud looks like a pickel."
he looked up at the cloud and looked back at me. "that is one effed up pickel!"
i looked back to the cloud. "true. but now i'm in the mood for a pickel!"
"up the street it's a nickel for a dill pickel at the smoothie shop." he told me. "wanna go get one?"
"ya," i said and we both started to get up. "but why is a smoothie shop selling pickels?"
"i don't know." he told me as we started walking down the street. "but i also don't know how your so beautiful, but i'm not asking any questions." i blushed a deep shade of red and he just smiled as i blushed.
"so," i said as we walked passed a hobo who glared at us. "what's your favorite color?"
"blue," he told me
"same here!" i said. "favorite band?"
"Three Days Grace!" he said
"that's my favorite band too!" i said
"Seriously?" he asked and i nodded. "that's awesome!"
"do you know their song World So Cold?" i asked him
"Hell yes!" he said. "i love that song!"
we kept talking all the way to the pickel shop. when we got there he bought me a pickel and one for himself. we laughed at how funny it was that we met by talking about how boring watching the scenery was and now we were eating pickels.
once we finished our pickels we were going to walk around town, but we saw that it was pouring outside.
we walked outside, under the onning, and Etch said, "we can go to my apartment, my mom isn't ever home, buisness stuff."
i found it slightly funny that he used the same excuse i used because i lived with Mikey and no one else. 'my mom is on a buisness trip' i would say, but he probably does have parents.
"sure, where is it?" i asked
"just right down the street." he said. "you're not one of those girls who can't stand their hair getting wet, right?"
i made a 'pshhh' noise and said, "No, anything but that. i actually love the rain."
"good," he said smiling and grabbed my hand. "'Cause i can't stand girls like that." we started running in the rain, hand in hand, down the street. it seemed like someone should make a montage of it because it was something that would only happen in the movie's, but whatever, i was having fun. for every big puddel we saw, we would stop just to jump in it. my shoes were starting to slosh around and become heavier, my clothes were sticking to my body, making me glad i wasn't wearing white, my hair was dripping down my back, and i was frezing cold, but we were having fun.
"it's this building." he said, pointing to a small apartment complex and leading me towards it.
"that was so fun," i said, but frezing cold water was still dripping off of me and i was starting to get colder the more i thought about it.
Etch must've knoticed i was cold because he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me close to him. we walked into the entrance of the apartment complex. a man was sitting at a desk once we walked inside and he started complaining about how wet we were and how we were getting his floor wet, but we didn't care.
Etch led me into the elevator, keeping his arm around me, and pressed the 3 button. once the elevator stopped we got off and walked to the end of the hallway and he opened the door to his apartment.
his apartment was small, i saw three doors, along the walls, i was standing in the living room and to my right was a small kitchen. covering the walls were tons of paintings and drawings, they were all very cool.
"did you make those?" i asked
"yeah," he said, scratching the back of his neck.
"they're amazing." i told him looking at all of them
he looked at me. "ya think so?"
"yes." i told him and he smiled
the rest of the day we hung out in his apartment, watchin Tv, playing video games and sometimes just talking. untill the sun started going down and i had to go back to Mikey. i said goodbye to Etch and gave him my cell phone number, he gave me his, and then left.
Mikey was asleep when i got back, so i just sat down and pulled out my laptop to write this before i fall asleep for the night.

-Till next time!
