Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

How?! What?! Okay so recent information said he has family issues and has almost no friends, but his apartment says otherwise. He had a flat screen TV, a stereo system, one nicely covered couch, a small carpet with a center table in top of it with small decorations and oh my God who is this person.

"Woooooowwwww" i couldn't help from saying.

"Looks like you've never been inside a house" he said while giggling.

He offered me to sit on the couch while he went to prepare the food. I said prepare as if he's cooking some gourmet linguine or something. He came back with the nuggets and fries all together in a bowl, yet separated. He also brought the cokes and two tiny bowls with ketchup and barbeque sauce. He asked me what movie i wanted to watch but i had nothing in mind so i told him to pick, im down for anything if i can ask a few more questions. As i sat in the couch he sat on the floor, i didn't know if he was uncomfortable sitting next to me or if he thought i would be uncomfortable. He picked some weird sci-fi movie so i just had to roll with it. After like 20 minutes into the movie i started some small talk, i didn't want to annoy him by asking about his family so i asked about his lifestyle.

"So you just watch movies all day?" i asked.

"yeah pretty much, i dont have anybody to spend time with so i just stay in and binge movies and shows" he replied in a low tone, as if he was sad.

"How come you don't have anyone to spend time with?"

"I was always the baby of the family and after my parents saw my older brother get corrupted by friends they didn't let me have any. So they evaluated my friends for me and to their eyes all of them were bad influences, so they let me have none" he said in a stern voice

"im so sorry for that, i wish i could go back in time and give you the childhood you deserved"

"thanks, but to be honest, i kinda like this more now. You see, my parents dont evaluate friends for me anymore, but they still support me in my studies, thats how i got here"

"So how many friends do you have?" i asked

"Well, just you for now" he answered.

I got a text from emma saying that we are supposed to have the same first period of class together, which is ICT, but the teacher isn't going to class tomorrow due to family problems so we won't have first class tomorrow! Dang this means i can sleep up to ten thirty am tomorrow, might as well watch more movies with James.

After some move movies it was getting late and i was sleepy. James looked happy with my companionship so i didn't want to go. He noticed my sleepiness and got up, he walked into his bedroom and walked back out with a blanket and his fan. He plugged in the fan and gave me the blanket then he sat back down on the floor. I didn't understand what he wanted me to do but by the looks of it he wanted me to sleep there. I asked him to sit next to me on the couch as he looked uncomfortable and he did so. I kept dozing off and at one moment i found myself laying on his shoulder. He had no look of embarrassment and i didn't want him to feel bad so i just stayed there. It was already about eleven thirty pm so i was going to tell him I'm going back to my apartment, but before i could do that i just saw darkness and fell unconscious.
