Chapter 1
The bell rang as I start to pack up to get ready for the end of today’s session. Just like another normal school day, I have to go back to my apartment not far from my school and finish my homework. Though all I was thinking about was having some dinner first, that’s always the best after a long day.
“Hey Ren, what’s going on man? Why looking so tired?” A hand cropped over my shoulder. That’s when I know it was Franco who would always do this.
“You know him Franco, he’s always looking like that. Come on Ren, we should start to get going before everyone’s gone.” Emmett interruped Franco and walked towards me while he stuff all of his binders inside his backpack.
“Yeah he’s right Franco, that’s just how I look like on a normal school day. Or maybe even everyday haha. I’m getting hungry, you guys want to go grab some dinner together?” I chuckled and said as I put my hand on my stomach to stop it from rumbling.
“I know a pretty good restaurant not far from here. And we don’t have to wait cause it’s already an hour passed their rush hours.” Franco suggested.
“Sounds good, I also have to go get some groceries after dinner too so that’s fine for me.” Emmett popped in and added, as we start to walk out the classroom and start heading for dinner.
The moment we walked in to the restaurant, the boss lady greeted us inside:“Oh hi Emmett, here for a dinner with your friends today?”
“Yeah, you know I usually come here after school for dinner. I’ll just have what I usually order with a side of soda pop.” Emmett quickly grabbed a seat and ordered.
“Haha you got it.” The boss lady turned to us next:“What do you guys want?”
“I guess I’ll just get the weekdays dinner special. You want an order of that as well Ren?” Franco quickly decided and asked me.
“Yeah why not.” I nodded and handed over my menu. The boss lady gave us a big, cheeky smile as she took our order and walked into the kitchen.
“So did you guys know that Mr. Palmerston is going to give us another assessment soon? I heard that from the people of his other class. Boy he always gives out stuff like that while we’re having a pretty nice week.” Emmett took a sip of the water and leaned in.
“Well that’s no big surprise. You know what he does, luckily he’s a pretty nice teacher and he’s going pretty easy on our grades. Though come on dude, just enjoy the days. There’s a lot we can talk about except for exams and assessments.” Franco casually leaned on the chair and said.
I’m always pretty open to anything, and Mr. Palmerstom always has a pretty good relationship with me. I still remember how he always make stupid jokes, which makes the class easier. His way of teaching is really enjoyable so I’m not so worried on that. “Yeah let’s talk about something else , something that can keep me awake. I feel like my eyes are going to close on me any second from now.” I sat up and yawned, just like how I usually do when I get bored and tired every evening.
The dinner was served right after that. I stared into the food while Emmett already started to eat. “Foods always taste the best after starving.” I joked as my stomach starts to rumble again. Franco and emmett nodded with a satisfied look on their face.
Dinner table is always quiet with the three of us around. We’re always too busy enjoying our food to satisfy our tastebuds and stomach.
We walked out the door not long after we finished our food. Emmett headed off for grocery shopping after that. And as always, Franco and I walk back to our apartment. He lives just a few buildings away from mine, so we visit each other a lot when we have time.
“Come on buddy, you look so tired every evening. You been sleeping enough?” Franco looked at me and asked.
“Franco, you know I’m always like this every evening after school. It’s not that the classes made me bored, just how I usually do.” I said with a funny look on my face.
“Well you know that’s what I always ask you. Oh yeah, we’re getting a small holiday next week for a few days, you have anything you want to do?” Franco looked at me and laughed, which totally mentioned me about the small holiday next week.
“Ah you’re right, we do have one next week. Tell me something I can do man, you know I always get super bored during times like that. I don’t even know how to spend my weekend, told you it’s pretty boring when you’re around me cause I don’t give out good ideas for us to do.” I sighed and took a deep breath. It’s fall already so the weather gets pretty chilly sometimes, I can see my breath out vapourize in the thin air.
“Well you’re right it is boring when you got nothing to do. I have some other homework to do this weekend so I wouldn’t be as free as you. But if you check my played histories you can see how many TV shows and movies I binged during every weekend.” He chuckled and turned to me.
We talked about random things on our way back to our residents. Not long after that I was already under my apartment building, and we dapped before he left like how we usually do.
