Friday came around quick. Thankfully, school was canceled today, meaning I was able to sleep in.
My plan for the day was to just relax before I needed to start up the stream. And that's just what I did. After I woke up, I brought my laptop to my bed and laid there scrolling through the internet for hours.
After getting bored of a show I had started, I decided to load up the dark web. 'Lets see what I'll find.'
Loading it up, I put in the password, gaining me access to the very depths of the dark web. I saw a few interesting topics and links.
Before I knew it, an hour passed.
I looked at the clock and saw it was already one in the afternoon. I hadn't ate breakfast and I was getting hungry.
My parents weren't home and my brother was at his friends. Sighing, I got dressed. Putting on a black hoodie and a black puffer jacket on, I left the house. There was a burger place near my house so I slipped my headphones on and made my way to it.
Walking inside the restaurant, I stood in line and waited to order something. A few minutes passed and once I got my food, I wobbled over to the tables.
Glancing to my left I noticed a few of my old friends sitting and chatting. I noticed them glance my way for a split second.
The air turned awkward.
I slipped on my headphones and unwrapped my breakfast burger. With the taste of the burger and the song playing, I zoned out.
After a few minutes I felt a tap on my shoulder. Looking up, I slowly took off my headphones.
"Yes?"
I looked at the girl who tapped my shoulder. She had long black hair and green eyes.
"Can I sit here? Every other table is full."
I looked around and what she said was true. The restaurant was full.
How? When I came here, there was definitely a few open tables. "Sure," I said, making her sit down with her food and open her laptop.
I looked at my phone and noticed that I spent more time here than I originally wanted to. As I was about to get up the girl spoke.
"Can you help me with something? I need to finish a survey type of project for school. Can I ask you a few questions?"
I looked at the girl and at my phone which was still open.
"Why not? Go ahead."
"Question one: What's your name?"
"Damian."
"Age?"
"14."
"Now that the basics are out of the way, what are your hopes and dreams for the future?"
"I want to be rich."
"How will you achieve it?"
"Own my own business."
"What type of business do you aim to create?"
"I don't know yet. I have a few ideas, but can't start any of them for now."
"Great. That's all I really needed from you. Thanks again."
"No problem. What's your name?"
"Annabelle."
"Nice name. Anyway, I'll see you around."
I got up and made my way back home. 'She had nice eyes.'

"Now then ladies and gentlemen, I hope you guys enjoyed the stream. I'll see you guys next week!"
I ended the stream and watched Cat, the homeless woman who was one of the numbers prior to the replacements standing above dog, a homeless man. The fight was ferocious. Cat barely won. She relied on her flexibility and speed. After all, dog was fat and short.
He had the power but cat was smart enough to not get caught by him long enough.
Once I ended the stream, I checked my earnings. $3934. In just two weeks I made a crazy amount. I made $7714. I was getting excited for the end of the month. Hopefully, I would break the ten thousand barriers.
I ordered the numbers to discard the dog's body while I undressed and changed into my comfortable clothes. Black sweats, a black hoodie, black puffer jacket and a ski mask.
After a successful stream, I walked back home.
As I walking on my street, I felt my phone ring.
"Hello."
{"Damian. Come to a party with me tomorrow."}
I thought for a second. Did I have anything planned for tomorrow? Not that I could remember.
"Sure. What time do you wanna meet Emma?"
{"Meet at the mall at 6 PM. We can eat something before going to the party."}
"Sounds like a plan. See you then."
I got home soon after hanging up. I undressed and changed into my pj's. Laying on my bed, I turned to my side, closing my eyes, and tried to fall asleep.
"Damian. Can I ask you something?"
I turned, facing my brother now.
"What's up?"
"I don't know what to do. My friends and I got into trouble. Now some guys with knives want to fight us tomorrow. What should I do?"
I sighed. "haaa, why do they want to fight you guys?"
"Cause apparently my friend scammed one of them."
"Then just stay home. Going would put you in danger, lil bro."
"But I can't just stay home and hide. My friends will think I'm a fucking pussy."
"You really shouldn't get mixed up with guys like them. Those friends of yours could get you in trouble, bro. Worse case scenario, you can die."
"Still, I need to go. Have you ever been in this situation?"
I thought back to the alleyway situation I ran into a while back. Some guys wanted to rob me. How did I overcome it? Using my hypnosis. My brother didn't have any abilities. What kind of older brother would I be if I didn't help him, though?
"I'll come with you guys tomorrow. Let me handle it."
"Really? Thanks, bro!"
He immediately pulled out his phone and started messaging his friends, telling them they had reinforcements.
"Just know this is the last time I'm helping you with this kind of thing. You really should stop hanging around with people like them."
"ok ok. I will. Thanks again. Goodnight!"
"Night."
I turned around, facing the wall again. Slowly, I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep. Tomorrow would be a busy day.
