Untitled., chapter 1
I popped open my eyes, to see the bare ceiling. I rethought the night before, another sleepless night. I heard the sound of bacon cooking in the kitchen. I propped myself up onto the palms of my hands, rubbing my eyes awake, thinking 'Jason's awake'. Jason was my best friend, and probaly one of the most interesting men I had ever known. Jason had 3 different personalities. Some days, he was that annoying emo brat, that makes you want to shout at him, "For Christ's sake, just die already!" Then some days, he was that guy you could just laugh and hang out with. Then there were the days he was a prep. That was comedy within itself. We lived in a house in the Bay area, not far from the beach.
I slippied out of bed, and walked into the kitchen, still rubbing my eyes.
"Jason, freak off." I said to him, sensing that he was going to be a jerk today.
"And good morning to you, too." He said back. I slipped into my chair, still half-asleep. He slipped a plate in front of me.
"Start a new day with a happy face!" He said. I looked at my plate. The eggs were the eyes, and the bacon was the smile.
"You're kidding me, right?" I asked, looking at him with my eyebrows raised.
"No!" He said with a smile on his face. I laughed a little and started to eat.
"So, what do you want to do today?" I asked after I was done.
"I know! Let's go... SHOPPING!" He said with a big smile on his face.
"Prep day today, huh?" I asked him.
"Yep!" He said. I laughed a little.
"Okay, let me get ready." I said, heading back into my room. I pulled on some black pants, a black shirt and my black shoes. I applied some eyeliner and headed towards the living room, where Jason was waiting.
"Girrrrllll, black is so not your color." He said snapping his fingers when he saw me.
"Where did you get that shirt?" I asked, noticing the pink button-up that he was wearing.
"Eh, I don't know. I think it was from Britney Spear's trashcan. You know, from the naughty school-girl faze." He said.
"Well, you know the saying; What's one man's trash is another man's treasure. Oh wait, she's not a man, is she?" I asked with a smile.
"The world will never know." He said, which made me laugh.
We got into his car laughing about celebrities.
"So, what do you want to listen to?" He asked.
"I don't know. You choose." I said.
"Okay, close your eyes!" He said. He always did that so it would be a surprise. I closed my eyes, and when he said open them, I heard 'Ice, Ice, Baby' coming out of the speakers.
"Oh, no, not this again!" I said laughing.
"Ice, Ice, Baby" He sung and I laughed harder. I started singing along, and after awhile, we turned on the radio from the C. D. Player. All of a sudden, we heard
"Love of mine, someday you'll die.." It was that Death Cab For Cutie song. I bit my lip. Jason, seeing my face, turned off the radio.
"Maybe it would be best if we didn't listen to the radio..." He said.
