"Evie!" Clare whined as we sat on the couch in front of my tv.
"Yeah?" I answered, clicking to the next channel.
"I'm bored," She drawled out.
"What do you want me to do about it?" I asked after landing on an alright channel.
"Go clubbing with meee tonight," She pleaded. I put down the remote and looked at the clock, it reading 9:45 am.
"When?" I asked semi-bored.
"Later tonight?" She asked hopefully, looking at me with pleading eyes.
"Alright, but I get to choose where we go," I said as I stretched.
"Where are you thinking?" She smiled.
"DOT Connecxion," I told when I pulled out my phone to text my "boss".
T Im not available tonight, Im hanging with Clare.
Alright, we didn't need your services tonight, have fun :P
Thx T
"But I don't have any passes," Claire whined pitifully.
"I can get some," I sang as I got up from the couch, to walk over to my large work desk and task chair.
"You are AMAZING!" She told me excitedly, moving around on the couch.
"I know, and for this you have to drive," I reminded her while sitting down in the task chair. With a quick shake of the mouse, the computer whirled on.
"No problem, I'll make breakfast since I'm here," She said from the small kitchenette as I opened a web browser.
"Awesome, I was about to ask about that," I told her loud enough for her to hear. Then I went to the DOT Connecxion website, hacking into the guest list for tonight's show. A minute later the list had two new names: Evelyn Scott and Claire Fogg. Tonight's artist was Defalt, the rat faced DJ. His music was pretty awesome, good for me I guess.
"Claire, Defalt is playing tonight," I alerted my friend.
"Alright! Pancakes are on their way just for your information," She told me.
"Yass queen," I said happily as I exited out of the program. I rolled away from the desk, only to have my phone buzz. The text was my invitation to the show tonight. Once I skimmed the text, I shoved my phone in my hoodie pocket and got up to creep into the small kitchen.
The smell of chocolate and pancakes was heavy in the air as I came up behind Claire, asking if the pancakes were finished.
"Almost geez," She smirked while she flipped a pancake.
"I guess I'll get plates then," I told her, trying to fill my time until breakfast was done. She told me to get syrup as I reached over her head to get three clean plates. I set the plates next to her before going into the fridge to get the sugary tree sap. It got set down next to her as I watched her begin to put fresh pancakes on a plate.
As soon as she placed three pancakes on the plate, I swiftly pulled it to away and sat down at the tiny table that was in the corner.
"Fank you," I said with a full mouth of pancakes.
"No problem... Hey, don't you have work today?" Claire asked after glancing at the calendar, showing it was a Saturday. For safety reasons, I never told Claire what I actually do. She thinks I'm an IT person who works most days of the week and is almost always on call for said work.
"Uh no boss man is letting me have a day off today, so I'm free all day," I explained before eating another pancake.
"Good, I don't want you bailing on me like last time," She chided, making me wince, remembering her yelling and ranting the day after because I had 'call' from work saying they needed me. In reality T-bone needed back up because he got his ass in too deep.
"Geez Claire I said I was sorry at least 20 times," I sighed.
"Whatever. How about you make it up to me by going to the grocery store, all you have left in your fridge is like 3 monsters," Claire said, slightly annoyed at my monster addiction.
"You sure? I went shopping on Wednesday," I whined, not wanting to leave my apartment so early.
"Shopping? You bought like 40 cans of monster and milk, I'm surprised I was able to find enough ingredients for pancakes," She said sternly as she pulled open to reveal exactly 3 cans of monster, a half stick of butter, and a jar of Nutella.
"Alright, alright fine Mom, but while I'm out you should get any stuff you need for tonight," I told her before making a several more pancakes disappear into my mouth. "I'm heading out after I change," I notified her as I got up to put my plate in the sink. Then I went to my closet and pulled out an outfit. So about 2 1/2 minutes later I was ready to leave, dressed comfortably for the Chicagoan fall. A black pair of jeans, black and white striped long sleeve shirt, gray hoodie, and black hi-tops. The pocket of my hoodie was just perfect for my phone, wallet, and keys.
"I'm headed out," I yelled before leaving the apartment to go to the L platform nearby.
