He answered. I didn’t know if he was just saying that because that’s what I was just doing, or if he really did like it.
“Fine, you can stay. Just stay quiet.” I told him. I went back to trying to relax, closed my
eyes and tried to ignore everything around me. But the feel of someone else being near just ruined it. Next thing I knew it felt like something had just touched my arm. "Maybe a bug?"I thought. Yuck. Then it happened again. I sat up quickly, only to find there was no bug, but instead Sebastian was sitting there poking, me over and over. I didn’t know what he wanted. I just wish he would leave me alone. “What!?” I said raising my voice some.
“I just poke; I couldn’t talk so why not poke?” He responded with a playful smile on his face.
“Let me rephrase that then. No bothering me. Don’t do anything. Just lay and relax. And if that’s not good enough, go back inside and bother your blonde friend.” I didn’t know his name; I think it was Jimmy or something like that. Then I got to thinking "Why don’t I just go back in?" He won’t leave me alone. Not that easily. He didn’t seem to be bothered by the things I said or did. An unnatural kindness. Strange, but interesting. I haven’t ever seen a human being act like him. So admirable. He got me to think maybe I should change the kind a person I am. Then I relazied that was crazy and as I could see him start to say something I just got up and left. I shouldn’t hang around him anyways. Stupid kids.
I went back inside and saw nothing had really changed. Everyone was still just hanging out. Some getting to know each other, some were eating. Sarah and Jack were in the back of the room watching everyone carefully and quietly conversing with each other. I could assume mocking the other idiots. I wanted to join, but I don’t feel welcomed when Jack is around. I thought about going to go drink for a while. I could see Sarah motioned her hand for me to go over there, much to my surprise. I wanted to be with just her. As I walked over there, I was careful to make sure Sebastian didn't see me. I think he was still outside. But I wasn’t sure. I sat down next to Sarah.
“Weere you smoking again?” She rudely asked me. She was always on my case of that. I didn’t really want to hear it again.
“I did for a few. I’ll try and quit.” That just upset her, because she knows I don’t quit things that I liked. She always tells me I drink way too much, but I didn’t care. I like my alcohol. And smoking is something I’ve done for a long time now.
“You know you won’t. You never do.” I just shrugged my shoulders; there really was nothing left to say now. Maybe she was right. I don’t know. But still, it’s a thing I like to do, and why quit what makes you happy? I saw that Jimmy had already got into the video games we had bought to keep everyone entertained. He and the man with the Mohawk were playing a racing game we had. It was pretty fun; it was a combat game with insane speeds and lots of explosions and guns. Something I love a lot: cars and guns. I should play it later when everyone else is in bed or out maybe eating. I looked over to see Rick sit down next to them with some candy in his hands. Great, now I won’t be able to talk to him. Why did I even care? I guess I’m just bored. There isn’t anything to do here. I saw an empty couch and went and sat on it. For the first time in my life, I was in luck. It was right there where I could easily watch Rick. He was now playing against the blue haired guy. I needed to find a nick name for him. Oh learn his real name, but that was too personal. Ugly-face. Awesome! He is now Ugly-Face. I could see Jimmy start to walk over to me. He had a big grin on his face, and he sat down next to me.
“Wanna play with?” He asked, while he still was chewing his candy.
“No. What would make you think that?” I asked him. I guess he noticed me watching Rick. “Well, you keep staring at the TV screen.” He said with lots of happiness in his voice. Why is he so jolly? "Jerk.." I thought to myself.
“Oh. I just watch. I don’t interact.”
“Aww that’s boring!” He said loudly “Play with us! Come on!”
“I’ think I'll pass.” I told him coldly. I looked away from him and away from Rick. I needed to get less attention on the fact I was staring over there so they wouldn't ask me to play again. “Don’t bother. He’s a jerk!” I could hear Rick say. Hearing his voice made me almost smile. But I didn’t let that show. I just hid my face on the couch. I guess the one person I really wanted to know didn’t like me already, so I just will let it go. No big deal. Jimmy shrugged his shoulders and sat back down with Rick, and an unhappy Ugly-Face, who has lost every race he’s played today. Sucker. I could see that Rick kept kind of checking Sarah out every time she went by. Luckily for me, he wouldn’t even stand a chance with her. I knew I didn’t but if I couldn’t have her, why should a stupid “Gopher Monkey”? Though, even with Rick being courious about her, I felt he wasn't a threat or anything when Sarah didn't even look nor talk to him
