Karli's POV
We finished eating dinner and Ethan tried to help me with the leftover homework that my professor gave me for my vacation which was pretty fucked up since students are supposed to rest during their vacation. But who am I to complain? Maybe I'll get quite used to this soon.
Suddenly, I heard a faint noise that was quite loud for us to hear, come from outside our window and I immediately ran to it to see what happened.
"What was that?" I said as I looked through the window.
"Did you see anything?" Ethan asked, looking quite worried since someone might have hurt themselves.
"There's nothing outside though." I said looking confused.
"Must be a squirrel or something." said Ethan.
"That was too loud for it to be a squirrel or a small animal. There's got to be a person up there. Wait a minute.. what if someone is stalking me!?" I ran to him while panicking.
"Bold of you to assume someone would even stalk you." He said while carelessly scrolling through his phone while texting someone.
"You little shi- but to be honest, you're right. Maybe it's just some animal that fell on the roof because of some reason that I do not know!" I said trying not to make myself worry.
"Exactly what I was telling you!" said Ethan who doesn't care about what's happening at all.

Meanwhile outside the window..

Unknown POV
"Ouch!" I screamed quietly (which isn't even possible at all) as I fell on the roof. Good thing I landed on some pile of trash or else my bones are probably broken right now.
"YOU IDIOT, WE'RE GONNA GET CAUGHT BECAUSE OF YOU!" said my "friend" as they lend me a hand. "Oh gosh, you stink."
"Can we just leave here? We're gonna get caught if you keep screaming at me."
"Sounds great. Let's go, hurry up." they whispered to me.

Ethan's POV
"Oh, would you look at those two... lmao, I should tell Lyf-"
Suddenly, someone randomly appeared next to me, waving with a straight face.
"I'm honestly not surprised that you saw us. I probably shouldn't have even agreed to help her.."
"Oh god, you scared me. How did you even get there?" I asked while my sweat dropped because of my nervousness.
"After you said that last sentence."
"I was joking, oka- AUGH-"
A hand suddenly went towards my neck, almost crushing my skull.
"You better not joke about it again, then." they said as they jumped down the window like it was nothing.
'Are they Bob or something?'
(If you still remember him ilysm)
"*sigh* Life's hard when a person like is stronger than you.." I sighed.
Karli's POV
After that drastic incident, Ethan left my room to sleep because he somehow loves sleeping early which is not so manly of him.
'I wonder what caused the sound to happen though.' I thought to myself.
'I didn't believe what Ethan said at all. He wasn't the type of person to not take care of these types of things seriously. Was there something he was hiding from me? It might be personal though so I won't ask him about it.' I wondered

In the Morning..
"Karli, wake up! KARLI! I swear, if you don't wake up, I'm gonna eat your dino nuggies!"
Out of nowhere, my eyes suddenly became wide open and I immediately stood up from my bed as I ran down the stairs, screaming at Ethan.
"I'M NOT LETTING YOU EAT MY DINO NUGGIES!" I screamed at him.
"Now now Karli, how many times do I have to tell you to not run when going down the stairs!?" my mom shouted at me.
"Sorry mom.."
"I'm not letting you off this time. You won't have any dinosaur nuggets this morning."
And there I was, frozen in shock at what I just heard.
"Deserved." said Ethan who was walking behind me with a smug face.
"You little shi-" I was about to swear at him until I realised my mother was literally in front of me and fortunately, I managed to control myself despite looking at the annoying smile Ethan is giving me.
"Hm?" my mother turned around, and started facing me.
"Oh uhm- it's nothing mom, don't worry!" I said trying, not to act suspicious.
She didn't respond, instead, she sighed and looked away and began to heat water for her coffee.
"Please take a seat, Karli. You don't want me to eat all your hotdogs, don't you?" said Ethan.
"Stay away from my hotdogs, or else.." I took out my phone and revealed one of our conversations about things that you don't even want to know. "..I'm sending this to her."
"Don't you dare." he said as he pushed the plate of hotdogs next to me.
I giggled a bit which seemed to annoy him and that made my plan perfect.

I was randomly scrolling through my phone until a certain someone knocked on a door.
*knock knock*
I sighed and just went on with it. "Who is it?"
"Your favourite cousin."
"Don't come in."
And of course, he didn't care and literally just barged into my room.
"I just told you to not come in, why the hell are you here."
"Auntie told me to go and buy groceries with you. So get up and put on proper clothes." he said as he immediately left the door without even hearing my reply.
'I'd rather go alone..' I told myself.
I had nothing important to do so I just went on with it and went downstairs to find Ethan.
"Come on, let's go." he said as he opened the door and left.
I didn't respond but followed him instead.
"Where's your car?" I asked him.
"Who said we're going to use it? Use your legs, you lazy ass. And don't worry, I don't want to do this either."
"Isn't the grocery a bit too far? Why the hell are we walking?"
"Ask auntie, not me." he sighed.
'She definitely forced him to do this.'
And so, that's where our journey began.
.
.
.
"Oh my fucking god, why are there rats in the middle of the streets." he said as he looked at the rats, looking disgusted.
"How would I know?"
"Because you live here.?"
"Damn, you have a point."
.
.
.
"I hate my life."
"Oh wow, same."
"Wanna jump off the bridge over there?"
"Wait you were serious-"
.
.
.
"Are we close to the grocery store now?"
"No."
1 minute later
"Are we close to the grocery store now?"
"No."
1 minute later, again.
"Are we clo-"
"Shut the fuck up, we're not even halfway there."
.
.
.
And those were the wonderful conversations we had!
.
.
.
And after a few minutes of walking, we then finally arrived at the grocery store.
"I'm having flashbacks of what happened during Christmas when I went here."
"I'm sure nothing bad will happen." said Ethan who was trying not to make me nervous.
And so, we entered the store and after not even 1 minute, I bumped into someone.
"Ouch!"
I heard someone scream as I bumped into something.
'Oh my god, I suck at this. Did I break something?' I thought to myself.'
"Sorry, ma'am I-"
'Wait a minute.. am I going crazy or did this happen before?'
"Oh no, it's fine. Just please be careful next time." said the woman who seemed to be working here.
"You fucking idiot." Ethan whispered to me.
"Damn, what's with you?"
"THAT WAS THE FUCKING OWNER." he screamed at me
"Oh."
"Be glad we didn't get kicked out."
"I really should." I responded.
After that incident, nothing out of the ordinary really happened so we just normally buyed some things that we need.
We only had one problem though.
Going back home.
We finished shopping but we might have buyed too much.. so we basically ended up using a box.
"No way I'm carrying this. Ethan, you're the man so you're taking it, not me." I said.
"Yeah yeah I know. I don't even think you'll even survive after carrying this for only a minute."
"What do you mean by that!? Of course, I can carry it!"
"You wish." He said as he effortlessly carried the box with his hands.
We walked back home and well.. you all probably know what happened.
.
.
.
.
.
"Oh god we're finally home." said Ethan after dropping the box on the table.
"I'm never going to that grocery store again." I said as I immediately threw myself on the couch.
"I agree." Ethan replied.
