.
A few minutes later, he hung up and I went to sleep. The next morning I woke up and didn't go for breakfast because I was in a rush, I quickly took my schoolbag and took a taxi.
Me: To Brown's apartment please
Driver: Okay
I traveled to those apartments, and went to the DJ'S apartment and knocked...
DJ: who's there?
Me: [silent]
DJ: I asked who is there?
Me: Iam Sam
DJ: I have no business with you
Me: I know but..
DJ: But what? Get out of here before I call the police for trespassing
Me: Okay wait! Please don't, I would like to do business with you
DJ: which one?
Me: Which one? What do you mean?
DJ: [opening the door, he showed me a flat bag full of drugs] this one or..
DJ: [another bag full of discs] or this one
Me: I want to hire you for an event, can I come inside?
Before he could even answer I let myself into this dirty, untidy lounge room that smells like rotten eggs.
DJ: Uhm the boys were here and they forgot to tidy up so..
Me: It's fine, Iam okay it's cool.
DJ: what type of genre are you looking for?
Me: anything..[girly sounds came from upstairs]
DJ: hold on I'll be right back
Me: yeah sure, you can go
He went upstairs, I quickly browsed around the room and looked inside the drawers, I found a flash drive(USB) I put it in my pocket. He came back and I sat down.
Me: uhm, change of plans I might come back tomorrow I just got a call from my mother saying that the event might get cancelled so see ya
I dashed out to the door and went to school. I met Sarah, Blue and Alice at the Cafeteria. As I was approaching them Teressa popped infront of me:
Teressa: Hey boo
Me: Hi Teressa
Teresa: I'd like for us to call truce
Me: is that your way of apologising
Teresa: But what did I do wrong? I was just saying..okay fine don't look at me like that Iam sorry
Me: wow nice, you finally grew up and realised that an apology is a word that exists amongst humans
Teressa: [she offered her hand] Okay fine, are you happy now?
Me: Iam more than happy
Teressa: why don't you come and join us
Me: You and who?
Teressa: Me, you, Carl, Justin
Jordan arrived..
Jordan: Hey Sam aren't you sitting with us today
Me: I will, I was just chatting with Teressa.
Teressa: No Sam is sitting with us today, right Sam?
Me: No I won't, and I won't accept your "fake" apology. Bye Teressa
Me and Jordan went and sat at our usual place, Teressa kept staring at me like she will strangle me.
School was finally over, I got back home and put my phone on charge without locking it. I went to the kitchen to make myself a sandwich, a few moments later I went back to my room and found Kevin with my phone in his hand:
Me: what are you doing!
Kevin: is this your definition of love?
Me: what are you talking about?
Kevin: what's wrong with you these days? I dont know you anymore Sam!
Me: Kevin I can explain
Kevin: Explain what? Explain this! [He showed me my phone, it was a screen record of Me and Mark's video call, I forgot that the screen record was on]
Me: Kevin I wasn't thinking straight
Kevin: of course you weren't..
Me: I..
Kevin: You what! [He got closer to me and shouted at my face]
Me: Kevin stop, you're overreacting
Kevin: oh Iam overreacting now!
Me: yes you are, please calm down you're scaring me, it was just a friendly thing
Kevin: well I cant believe you anymore
Me: if you dont believe me anymore then why do you still love me?
My mother rushed upstairs..
Diana: what's going on here?
Me: Nothing Mom, there was just a misunderstanding between me and Kevin.
I took my phone and school bag and went out. I took a taxi and went to the city. I arrived at this modern apartment building, I needed a friend I could talk to so I went to Tom..
As I was going to inside the elevator, Tom approached me:
Tom: I guess we will always meet in elevators
Me: Well not if I take the stairs..
Tom: I don't think you'll last when taking those stairs
Me: I'll take my chances..but not today. Iam here for you
Tom: Me?
Me: Yes, like I really need someone to talk to
Tom: you left all your friends and sisters too, to talk to me..wow I never thought Iam that therapist
Me: [I pat him on the back] I can't..Iam.. running away from them
Tom: Okay, you are being serious I thought you were joking..Uhm my apartment is on the 6th floor.
Me: Cool
We went inside the elevator and talked along the way, we got inside and he made coffee.
Me: [he handed me the cup of coffee] wow Thanks
Tom: You're welcome
I took a sip of the coffee and told him everything without revealing their identities of course. We spent a whole hour talking about my life.
Me: [giggling] okay enough about my life, How's living alone going?
Me: Dude you don't even have a Cat, how do you survive in this
Tom: Well I enjoy peace and quiet, without living with anyone but Iam kinda lonely
Me: Do you have a girlfriend?
Tom: [clears throat] Uhm no no I don't
Me: ... Boyfriend?
Tom: Iam..Iam actually heterosexual, Iam a straight dude, but Iam open to fuck any gay
Me: oh okay
