Wait to play music

Fresh's POV

My alarm clock screamed at me. I squinted my eyes as the light shined into my room. Sitting up on my bed, I yawned and stretched.

Walking down to the living room, I saw Geno laying on the couch. He was fast asleep. I wouldn't blame him, he's growing a child inside of him.

Reaper was drinking coffee in the kitchen. He moved in after Geno and him got hitched. His hand held a strong grip on the cup handle as he looked over a piece of paper. He noticed me and spoke quietly.

Reaper: Mornin'.

I nodded to him. I started making myself food for the morning. There was a big test today that would be four hours long so I needed food.

Before I ate, I took a pill from my medicine bottle. Once I was done swallowing the tablet, I sat down at the island and began taking bites my meal.

After I was done, I went back to my room to change clothing. Turning on my TV, I played a video on low volume. I didn't want to be loud. My phone chimed suddenly, telling me that I received a text. It was my friend, Crow. I considered us as mutual friends since I don't really like other people. I'd rather be alone with animals.

Crow Text: Hey, you heading to school yet?

Me: No, why?

Crow Text: Just wondering if you wanted to meet up and get coffee that from that new café.

Me: Ethiopia?

Crow Text: Yeah, that place.

Me: I'm down. Let me finish getting ready and I'll be on my way.

Crow Text: K.

I stuffed my phone into my backpack and threw on my jacket. Putting the shades over my eyes, I headed to the door. Reaper waved at me on the way out.

[Intended Time]

Walking the streets to the café, I put my headphones on and played music. The sky was bright blue. The sun glowed brightly and gave off a warm touch, for the current temperature.

After arriving to the café, I saw a skeleton standing while playing on his phone. It was Crow. He had purple eye lights, a leather jacket, black shirt, and black jeans. A rose symbol was stitched onto the back of his coat. He wore military boots and several bracelets. Think of him as a Greaser.

He must have sensed me because he lifted his head in my direction.

Crow: Hey man.

Me: Sup broski.

Crow: Ready for that test?

Me: Nope. For the questions I don't know, Imma just wing it.

Crow: Sounds like something you would do. Even though you have good grades for the most part. I'm pretty nervous.

Me: I'm not. It's just a test.

Crow: What keeps you so chill?

I shrugged.

Crow: Mellow Jazz, bongo drums, huge bag of weed? Come on, it's got to be something.

Me: I don't do drugs.

Crow: Whelp, let's get our coffee and drag our asses to school. Wouldn't want to miss the test for the world.

We walked into the building. A rabbit was working the counter and dishing out the orders. She was a student from school. Crow recognized her quickly. He was kinda the popular kid in Jefferson High School.

Crow: Hey Tanolia.

She waved at us from the behind the counter.

Me: What's the four one one?

Tanolia: I heard that human bitch, back at school, is sleeping with the math teacher to get good grades and answers for upcoming exams.

She didn't even have to say the name. We automatically knew who she was talking about. Tanolia was the gossip queen. Nothing could stay a secret.

Tanolia: Anyway, what can I get ya?

Crow: Two iced coffees please. We can't stay long. Got the PSAT in two hours.

Tanolia: Oh shit, that's today? I'm so not prepared.

(Time Skip)

We entered the educational building with our coffee in hand. For the stressful event that was ahead, students calmly strolled around campus. Soon, the bell rang.

Crow: Have fun.

He said before we split up. Since our last names didn't start with the same letter, we were put into different testing rooms. Mine was Queen and Crow's was Griffin.

(Time Skip)

Crow: Oh man, that was rough.

Me: Yeah, hella difficult.

Crow: Now let's see, what sounds good for lunch? We have El Tino's, Grape Vine, or The Deli.

Me: How about... Mexican.

We went in, ordered our food, and sat down at a table. Crow put his hands behind his head.

Crow: So tell me, how's life for ya?

Me: It's good, big bro got hitched 'bout three weeks ago.

Crow: Geno finally decided to tie the knot, huh? He's thirty-four, right?

I nodded.

(Time Skip)

I walked slowly to the house. There was something taped onto the front door. Taking it off, I managed to read the messy handwriting.

Me: Go back to the underground, freaks. This country belongs to the humans. You take all our jobs. We work hard for this country and you are the leeches on our backs. No one will miss you when you die.

I didn't express any emotions. I folded the paper and put it into my jacket pocket. I wasn't going to tell Geno or Reaper about this. They already had so many things to worry about. The baby, jobs, and that rival that wants to buy RenRik, Reaper's company. Yeah, I may have done some snooping while they were sleeping. Reaper may or may not have left his papers on the counter a few nights ago.

The married couple were sitting on the couch and Reaper was rubbing circles on Geno's stomach. They saw me walk in.

Geno: Hey baby bro. How was school?

My mind received a flashback of the humans beating me up and the letter on the door.

Me: It was good. I feel that the PSAT was pretty good.

He hummed in response. I went to my room to read over the letter again. I sighed.

This is going to be fun

A Quick Discussion

My break ended earlier than I wanted to.

This chapter was written and finished during my break. So this basically another diary entry.

I honestly don't know why I was writing a chapter in Fresh's POV.

Sooooo... yeah, I'll see you soon. Hugs and love to all of you.

Bye
