9:00 a.m.
Three sixteen year olds were walking down a dark alley in New York. One of the three was a boy, very tall, curly hair, he was wearing a hoodie and he had a wide smile plastered on his face, and because of that, and of how lazily he was taking every single step he looked like a giant sloth.
The only girl in the trio, instead, was of average hight, she had a long ponytail and she was looking at her phone while walking, not really paying any attention to her surroundings, she was a little bored.
The Second boy was the shortest of the three, he had short hair, green eyes and he was wearing a football jacket; he was at the front of the group taking comically large steps. If the first boy looked like a sloth this one looked like a small mouse trying to look big.
Wait a second, did I accidentally make a metaphor on how teenagers act by comparing a one to a mouse trying to look bigger than he really is?
Wow I'm so smart… sorry about the tangent let's move on.
So the three teens were walking down a street
"I didn't have breakfast this morning, let's go to a bar or something." The sloth said
"I gotta buy a pack, let's do that first." The little mouse said
"A pack? Didn't you buy one yesterday?"
"Jesus Dan, an entire pack in a day? You'll get cancer before next year." The girl said in a sarcastic tone while briefly taking her eyes off her phone
"My mom found my pack and threw it away. We fought a bit, you know the usual shit and then she grounded me for the entire month."
"Oh… sucks to be you!"
"You get punished for doing something so your response to that is doing that thing again plus something even worse? Foolproof plan."
Dan started frowning even more than usual
"What's the 'even worse' thing?" The sloth said
"Uhm ,you know, what we're doing right now?"
"Walking?" He asked like the idiot he was
"No Mike, the not going to school. That's the thing I was referring to." She said rolling her eyes
"Oh r-right,obviously!" He nervously said, desperately trying to save his image…and failing
"It's my life Emma, I can do whatever I want with it." He said completely oblivious to how immature and stupid he sounded "Let's not talk about this."
"I was just joking around, dude,chill out." She said
Silence
"Guys I am really hungry."
"Okay let's go eat something " Dan said
9:45 a.m
The trio was sitting in a bar
"… So he said 'got some flowers?' and I said 'yes… DAISIES' hahaha"
"What?" The little mouse said
"Mike, that joke doesn't make any sense." Emma said
"Oh, right you guys weren't there. It's an inside joke, some days ago me and this guy talked about how the ancient Greeks used to play these games where they would punch each other with these boxing gloves that they called 'daisies' because they kind of looked like the flower.
Do you get the joke, now?"
"WHAT?" Emma said
"Mike where the hell did you hear that?" Dan said
"Where did you not hear that? Dude, it's like common knowledge."
"…"
"…"
The other two just stared at Mike without saying anything
"What?" The sloth said
"This conversation is over now." Emma said
10:15 a.m
The mouse, the sloth and the bitch arrived at an old cigarette machine in a narrow street. They were the only ones around. Dan went to buy a pack while the others waited for him on the sidewalk.
Dan took sone coins, put them in the machine and pressed the button. Nothing happened. Dan tried to press the button again
"Come on."
He pressed the button another time, hoping it would work (spoiler: it didn't)
"Everything fine there?" Emma asked
"Yeah, yeah, this is gonna take a second."
10:32 a.m
"Dan, Mike, who gives a shit! It's a broken cig machine, let's just go." Emma said
"Ok so if we maybe try hit in this part.."
"Mike you're doing it wrong, it needs to be done a little more like THIS!" Dan started kicking the machine like a madman, or better a mad-Dan
"WHY. WILL. YOU. NOT. F***ING WORK!"
"Dude calm down." Mike said
"NO!!!"
He continued to kick the machine for some minutes. Suddenly a pack of cigarettes came out
"Now I can calm down."
"Wait that worked?" Emma said incredulous
Dan took the pack triumphantly
"See guys? With enough violence, screaming and lack of self-control you can achieve just about anythi-"
"Dan?" Emma asked
"This pack is empty."
Silence
"So we wasted twenty minutes of our life for nothing." Mike said
"Yeah…" Dan said
Silence yet again
"Oh well, let's g- AHHHHHHHHH."
They suddenly got teleported somewhere. One moment they were there, and the next they were gone.
