Chappie 1
I yawned as I walked through the almost pitch-black park. It was chilly but not something I would call cold. I had my denim jacket on so I was comfortably warm. I wasn't too sure what I was doing out at night. I guess I got bored. Living in a cramped up flat with two other bad-mannered roommates isn't exactly what I'd call fun.
I enjoyed the night. Full of surprises. And freaky stuff like ghosts and other supernatural things scary music plays in the background.
I was walking along a path down the middle of the park. The grass on each side seemed to be cut at exactly the same level. I kept my arms folded around me to keep warm. It was summer for crying out loud!
Anyway, I looked up and saw a goldish glint up ahead. It was impossible to see what it was. If there was a person right next to me I wouldn't have noticed them! It was that dark. As I got closer I saw it was a gold chain with an upside down cross on it. It was strange. I thought I had seen it before. I couldn't see anyone else around so I picked it up and put in my pocket.
As I was exiting the park, a girl came up to me. It was hard to see her. She was a little shorter than I was and seemed to be wearing a headset of some kind. We must have been near the same age.
"Can me have the cross?" She asked. It was easy to tell that English wasn't her first language.
"Uh… Yeah sure. Sorry, I wasn't sure if it belonged to anybody." I said giving to her.
"That's O.K. I sure Murdoc won't be angry." She then ran off.
Murdoc? Was that a coincidence that the Gorillaz band member, Murdoc, wore a gold, upside down cross around his neck? That's where I had seen it! My memory was never that good. I thought about it, but then just brushed it off. I was probably tired. But I wasn't going back to my apartment. I couldn't live another day with those other lunatics. Perhaps I was exaggerating.
I decided to keep walking. I passed a tree. Wow. A tree. Interesting. Then another. More trees? I sat underneath one facing the road alongside the park. I watched all the cars zoom by. I then, accidentally, nodded off.
"'ey! Ya awright?" I opened my eyes lazily. It was still pitch-black but I saw the silhouette of someone standing in front of me. It was a he. He had Spiky hair and was somewhat tall.
"Huh? Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for asking. I just fell asleep." I replied, still half-dozing.
"I was juz' makin' sure. But don't ya 'ave a 'ouse to sleep in?" he asked. He had a Londoner's sort of accent. From Essex, maybe?... Crawley?
I stood up "I have an apartment. But I don't like it there. My roommates are always causing trouble. It's literally a hellhole."
"I live wiv' my mates but 'vere ain't dat much trouble."
"Who are you, anyway?" I thought I had heard his voice somewhere before.
"My name's Stuart but I'm known as 2D."
I froze. No… Another coincidence? His silhouette did look like 2D's from the band Gorillaz, but was it? I decided to act cool "I'm Samantha. Preferably Sam. Sometimes Sammy."
I could tell he smiled "'ven were are ya goin' to stay?"
I hadn't really thought about that "I don't know." Oh yeah, great answer! I thought. Ever since I had known the band Gorillaz, I had had a secret crush on 2D and on Murdoc. Of course, I didn't want anyone else to know.
"Ya could stay wiv' me at Kong Studios. Ya can meet my mates."
It was 2D for sure. Kong Studios was where Gorillaz lived and made there records.
"That'd be cool. If you don't mind." I was trying not to sound too exited.
"Nah, I dun' mind."
I felt like squealing with delight. I kept singing I'm gonna meet the Gorillaz! I'm gonna meet the Gorillaz! Over and over in my head.
"Come on 'ven. I gots my drivers license not too long ago so I can drive ya 'vere." I followed him to his car. It was a little tatty but who cares about cars? I was on my way to meet the Gorillaz!
