My name is Robert. I just finished High School and now I'm still living with my parents. In the basement to be exact. I need to start looking for a job, but I'm not in
the mood. I get bitched at a lot by my parents. Telling me I need to get off my ass and find a job. I can't just live at their house for a free ride. This is only when
one of the two have had a bad day at work. Otherwise I'm sure they enjoy my company. Todays Tuesday and its officially two months sense I have graduated High
School. Right now I'm just sitting on my bed watching some old movie on tv. Im hardly paying attention to whats going on. I think a zombie break out is
happening. I don't care though. As a kid zombie movies used to scare me. Now I just now something like that isn't going to happen. I do need to maybe take a look
at some jobs I might enjoy doing, but I'm not doing it at all this weekend. I'm going camping with some friends of mine. It was supposed to be the weekend after
graduation, but we all just got busy doing our own thing. Until last week I received a text from Chad who is the one who came up with the whole camping idea
saying "hey who is up for camping next weekend, and for real this time?". So I replied saying "I guess I am". He told me that Lauren had also replied saying she
would like to also. So did my girlfriend Jennifer. We are flying to some "popular" mountain to go camping and Chads dad got some big bonus check from his boss. So
Chad got a good chunk of money, so he is buying our tickets. This week I really have no idea what I might do. Just stay here and be lazy or go to the local pool or
something. Today is just a lazy day.
** 3 hours later **
Before I know it my Mother yells down the stairs "dinners ready so come on up". I can smell the chicken from here along with the green beans and mac n cheese.
I hope off my bed and walk up stairs. I open the door then close it behind me. I look into the kitchen and find all the food in pots on the table along with my Dad
and Mom seated. I walk to the chair closet to me and sit down. I pick up my plate and put some mac n cheese on it along with some chicken. I get a small scoop of
mac n cheese and put it on the side of my plate. My Dad looks at me "Now I know your not going to like hearing this, but we found some jobs that would give you
enough pay to help out with some bills here and give you the money to start saving up for a place of your own". I swallow some mac n cheese. I look back at him
"Actually I'm going to start looking for a job after I come back from camping this weekend". My Mom looks at me "Your serious this time right?" I look at her. "Yes"
I reply. I look at my Dad "well thats nice to hear Robert". "So how was your day at work?" my Mom asks my Dad. "Great" he replies. After listening to their
conversation I look down at my plate and find I have ate all the mac n cheese and chicken. I stand up out of my chair and push it in. Putting the green beans back
into their pot. I wash the plate in the sink and set it down. I walk back down to my room and sit down on my bed and grab my phone. I tap the Facebook app.
Checking the news feed I see that Chad's really excited about this weekend. I'm sure he has "something" for Lauren. I have to admit she is good looking. I play pac
man on my phone until i slowly get more and more tired and fall asleep.
** Wensday at 11:30am **
I wake up actually pretty late into the day. I tap the home button on my phone to read the time 11:30 am. I try to remember if there was anything I was
supposed to do today. Shit I was supposed to run the package my Mother wanted shipped out from the UPS drop off box today. They pick up at 12 or something
like that and its 15 minutes away and I'm not even dressed. I jump up out of bed in a hurry. Mumbling under my breath "I don't see why she could have dropped it
off or Dad could have". I quickly change into blue jeans and put a green shirt on and slide on my black and white converse. I run upstairs comb my hair and run to
the living room to get the package and get my keys to the old car my parents used to drive and open the front door and close it. I run to my car and open the
passenger door and get in the drivers side. I back out the driveway "She will be pissed if its not delivered today and then I'll get a lecture". I put the car in drive and
start driving down the road. I pass though all the green lights and I have no clue how my luck had gotten that good. I turn into the food lion parking lot with the
UPS drop off box. I pull over to the side of the parking lot where the box is and I turn around to see the pick up truck turning in the parking lot. I open the door and
slide the box in there. I walk back to my car and get in and start driving home. Thank God I made it one time. That saved me a lecture! After 15 minuets of driving
home I pull into our driveway and put the car in park and I get out shutting the car door and locking it. I open the door to the house and close it behind me. I walk
downstairs to my room sit on my bed and turn on the tv. I get my phone and swipe it to unlock and go to messages and tap Jennifer's name. I type the message
"Hey you want to go swimming tomorrow?" and I tap send. After 2 or 3 minuets I hear my phone go off I read the reply from her "Yea sure I would like to what
time do you want me to come over?" I reply "how about 12 that way that gives us like 3 hours to swim and we can get home at like 4" I tap send. About the
same waiting length the first time I hear my phone go off. I read her reply "Okay babe I'll see you then :)". I put my head back on my pillow and drift into a
unexpected nap.
