Part 4
My world look different

No way I was going to that messed up party. I had been to one and that day turned out to be the worst day of my life. I ended up alone in a corner hoping for invisibility. Parties are a human thing and I hardly consider myself one. Apart from the skin and the bunch of other meaty stuffs going under it, I feel like a totally different species and that explains my hate towards humans.

I don't understand their ways, the need for each other and I don't envy those who do. I don't want to be friends with the popular guys at school, in fact I try to escape their company at all times because they are a bunch of walking TV serials and I am sick of watching them with mom before football (she know the best ways to address my sorrow).

It was Friday and the SK mall like always had announced sale on a lot of things. Mom got the Zara Jeans she was trying to buy for weeks at half the price so, she let me have my computer back(people are twisted and so are their decisions). I was about to play dota when I heard the door bell ring. Dad was not coming home, he was on night duty(Nurse is a tiring job but what job isn't). I heard mom call me (what did I do this time?).

"Jake! Someone is here to see you. come on down. Jake?"

"I am sleeping"
(I don't care who that someone is, Can I have a little life mom?)

"Jake...don't make me come upupstairs"
(I knew she didn't mean it when she gave back my computer. why am I here in this house with this mom?)

"Coming"
(I don't have many visitors, I only have 1 actually; a 80 year old lonely neighbor who misses his grandson)

I was happy a while ago and then I was not. I looked down the stairs expecting Mr.Paul(my only visitor) but it was Emma. What? I took 2 steps at a time, rushed behind mom who looked at me with that smile of hers(she is going to tease me. I know her too well. What am I? 9 mom?"

"Come inside Emma. It's been so long since I last saw you"
(Seriously mom? I want her gone this instant. Don't make me a rebel)

"No Mrs. Green. Actually I have a party to take care of. I am here to get Jake. Can he come? It's my birthday"

Mom gave me the curious eyes.
(I don't want to report everything to you mom and no! I am not dating her)

"Yes yes...he can. Happy birthday. I didn't know it was your birthday, could have arranged something; you know it's Friday. "
(There she goes again)

"Mom, I am not feeling well. I think I need to rest. Sorry Emma, I should have told you. Thank you for coming by. see you tomorrow "

Emma gave me a sad nod. She was about to cry. I felt sorry but that was a bad idea she came up with.

"Jake you can have your money plus another 20. Do you still feel unwell? "
(She is pure evil. my jelly beans are at stake)

I signed. I looked up and Emma was still there. She was not going without me.

"Well...I..I...can survive few hours. I need to get back before 10 though, I need to do my assignment"
(I lied)

"That will do. Do you need to change?"

"No. I am fine. let's go"
(I am not getting sparkly for you)
