I heard a sigh behind me. "Char, come on! You've been starring at that computer screen for six hours straight! Your eyes are gonna start bleeding soon!" Meg whined.
"Ay, shut your trap. I'm almost done. Just gotta debug it to see if it works. Dude, plus, we ain't that late anyways. Those fuckers have no patience. Let them wait." I shushed her. My lord, she's getting more agitated with me by the day. Can't blame her though. I'm quite a bitch.
"Well maybe if you weren't whoring yourself with your techno-shit, we wouldn't be that late in the first place." Meg tried to retort but I only snorted.
"It's not my fault I am doing my job, unlike someone who will find any excuse to avoid hers."
I received a smack to the back of the head.
"Sheesh, alright alright. I'm hurrying up."

"Oi, you little shits. You're late!" Ty scolded as Meg and I approached the café table. The group seemed to have already ordered our food as our drinks were already here. They probably assumed I would take my time with working (Which wasn't that off of a prediction). They just do not seem to process in their heads that I need to work until a certain checkpoint so I don't end up forgetting what I was doing in the first place! I'm not a freaking robot!
But then again, there is a running gag that I'm secretly an android that was sent by the government to quicken the pace of the world becoming dependent on technology so they can put chips into our heads to mind control us all.
My friends are strange beings. Don't question them.
"Yeah yeah, whatever. Just tell me what you ordered me?" I dismissed Ty's brash attitude with a roll of my eyes and turned my attention to Sophie. She just sighed at her boyfriend's antics and gave a small apologetic smile towards me.
"I ordered you a chicken cheese steak with a sprite." Ah, how Sophie knew me so well. I plopped down right between Eliza and Beth interrupting their kissy faces and soft, 'I love you's and 'I love you more's.
"Ew, not at the lunch table. If y'all wanna bang, there's a motel down the street." I mocked. Everyone giggled at this while Beth and Eliza sheepishly gazed off to the side with their cheeks fainted pink. "Sophie and Ty, you have that offer as well." To which Ty just glared at me annoyed as Sophie just sighed. "And Meg, if Josh was here, the same for you."
"Pfftt... you're just jealous you're the only single one here." Ty smirked. Well, I'm not going to lie, that was a reason, but also because I liked to fuck with people. I was about to retort but our food came right then and the previous conversation died into multiple random ones.
At one point when I was almost done eating, Sophie picked up a conversation with me. "Hey Charlotte, you used to like anime, right?" I cringed but nodded my head in the least. "My niece is starting to get into Naruto and I wanted to know if you had any of the DVDs or books that you weren't using."
"Hm... I gotta check in the boxes but If I find anything, sure you can have it." I confessed. I haven't really been into anime that much anymore. It kind of died down after a few years of being into it. I think the last time I actually watched it was half way during Shippuden and I only stopped because of fillers. I know that I have more mangas than DVD's though. I think I have only two seasons in the original and that's it. I have like all the mangas to a certain point.
Sophie smiled at me as she held a grateful face before Ty scooped some whip-cream off his desert and placed some onto the tip of her nose. She just stuck her tongue out at him childishly as they both giggle.
My friends are so cute.

Man, I shouldn't have stayed so late.
I stumbled tiredly through the door of my apartment and plopped down onto my blow up mattress. I looked around at my two room apartment (The other room is the bathroom) and sighed at the boxes that were littered around the room that was my bed-room, living-room, kitchen and study as one. In the corner were packages upon packages of ramen noodles of different flavors. Also, there was Mr. President (My blue pet guppy) on the counter.
This was the life of a poor college student.
The only expensive things in the room were my monitors. I have about four up all connected to one another. Two on the desk with two above hanging on the wall. There was also my side bag that never leaves my side and it has all my portable electronics with the power cords.
Everything else was of no value. If you searched the boxes full of random stuff, maybe there would be one or two things you'd find, but nothing that you couldn't get for below fifty bucks. Which reminds me...
I knew that I would forget about it tomorrow morning and I would continue to forget about it for months. I didn't feel like going through all that hassle so I started to dig through unlabeled boxes (I have to remember to label these since it's a hassle to try and find anything in this mess) to search for past memories.
"Ah ha!" I exclaimed as I found the box after fifteen minutes of searching. Here it was. The years of my youth that I wish to never look back onto. My hands started to pull out random trinkets and book as I searched for more specific things. About half way through the box, I found what I was looking for. The Naruto Collection.
I was mistaken when I thought I only had two seasons as I found out I actually had four. There was books upon books though as I had collected up to volume fourty-nine of the series. I had all the plushies of the Akatsuki and Team 7 and a body pillow case of Kakashi. There were about four posters of Itachi and about two of Kakashi. Don't get me started on how many shirts I had of this show.
A deep sigh escaped me as I reminisced all the memories I had of younger me and it almost seemed like I had forgotten how to enjoy myself in an interest where I had pure fun being apart of the experience. I thought back at when I was a kid and I would play 'ninja' at recess and man, I wish I could go back and do it all again...
Actually now that I'm remembering all of this, I realize as to why I never want to go through that again.
Yeah... no. Never mind.
Go back to the beginning of puberty in my pre-teen years where I had scared off every kid as I shouted weird sayings when I was in my 'I'm so random XD' phase. To where I would yell at anyone who didn't like anime and me worshiping it like god has given us a pure blessing that others were taking advantage of. Back to the time where I was a condescending little twerp who would throw random Japanese phrases into English sentence because I 'knew' Japanese.
Never again. Never.
After I tortured myself with painful memories, I started to put some of the volumes into my black bag, plus two random plushies for the heck of it. I also threw in the pillow case a bonus. I'd have to call Sophie to have her niece pick and choose what she'd want to take as I don't have enough room in my bag for this all. I was about to place the DVDs in there as well, but then I looked longingly at them.
Should I... or should I not...?
I started to weigh the pros and cons of if I should pull an all-nighter to watch what I had of the series. They both equaled out each other, so I passed the final vote to Mr. President. "Okay, Mr. President! Blink once for yes, twice for no!" As I stared Mr. President down, all I received was a measly bubble. Then, I remembered that fish couldn't blink so I gave up on that idea. In the end, I just plopped the disk into the computer and just laughed along like the old times.

Meh, so there that is. Prologue done. I have actually already finished writing the next two chapter and I'm starting Chapter 3 now. At Chapter 4 is where the real story starts as it picks up the anime then.
Chapter 1 will come out in the morning, then I'm going to wait a bit to publish Chapter 2 as I think it should be more spread out than all published at once.
