My stuff got here early this morning. The truck apparently got here at about three AM this morning, but the drivers had decided they would just sleep parked in the driveway. At least all my things were in the house by the time I woke up in the morning. They had just left it all in the living room, because I was still asleep and they all thought I was suffering the effects of jet lag. I was, a little bit, but I had chosen to stay up all night going through random pictures on the internet, and anything else just for the sake of staying awake. I figured the longer I stayed up, the less time I have to spend with these people. I managed to hold out until sometime after the truck got there and pulled in, making a ton of noise and somehow managing to not wake up the household. I could swear that they hit either the garage door or the garbage can with all the noise they made last night. I thought about letting them in to sleep on the couch, but people, particularly truck drivers, are creepers.

Most of it was just boxes of junk that I rarely used anyways, along with the few pieces of furniture I decided I wanted to have with me. If my father wanted me there that badly, then he could pay for all the costs to ship everything I wanted with me, though I'm not sure how I'll get it back home once I'm ready to leave this all behind and go back to my own life.

Sora had spent most of yesterday leaving me alone in my room, but as soon as he saw me coming down the stairs, nothing could restrain him from clinging to me and blabbing in my ear as I made my way to the kitchen to make something to eat. He just kept going and going, with his arms latched around my neck. Even when I told him it was too early for this shit, he scolded me for saying shit, and then launched right back into whatever he was saying. I wasn't listening while I made myself a bowl of cheerio's to the best of my ability with a monkey attached to my neck.

Leon managed to get the monkey to let go of me by saying there was someone at the door for him. He was gone, and I was finally able to enjoy my bowl of cereal. It didn't last very long because Sora just had to pull that douche bag into the room, yelling about how cool his brother was and that he had to meet me. I couldn't really hear anything that the silver haired douche bag said, but at least he wasn't as loud as Sora. He also looked a good four or five years older than my brother, which I found was odd. He waltzed in, looking like he owned the place, as much as he could while being towed by Sora. They both sat down, and I ignored the introductions, and mumbled a 'hello' through my cereal. I stopped listening and went into my own little world. I pretended to listen, nodding whenever it seemed appropriate. I finished up and left without another word, to hopefully shut myself in my room for the rest of the night.

Thirty minutes later, my hopes were shot dead and left for me on my doorstep when Sora knocked on my door and asked if I was ready yet. I didn't even know what I was supposed to be ready for, so I asked, and apparently I had agreed to go to the beach with Riku and Sora for the afternoon to meet up with some of their other friends. I groaned and told him to give me an hour, so I could at least take my time, and I was still trying to figure out exactly where all the things I brought with me were. I could have told him that the milk was bad and it made me feel pretty sick, but I may as well get to know my surroundings while I was stuck here.

The beach was nice, they didn't make me swim since I told them that I couldn't find my bathing suit, not that I had one to begin with. They didn't have to know, and it kept me from having to get wet. So I sat on the beach and intended to watch the others splash around. They introduced me to three more people I think were named Carry, then Sophie, and some other kid with blond hair.

In the end, I didn't watch them very much. I had my eyes, hidden behind Sora's sun glasses, checking out this hot red head, playing volleyball with another group of douche baggy looking people. He was hot, looked kinda like a douche bag himself, but was nicely built and had nothing but his swim shorts on. I didn't expect him to look my way at all, but he did, he winked at me, and then went back to playing his stupid game of volley ball.

As soon as Sora got out of the water, I told him I was bored and I wanted to go home. He looked sad, but after twenty minutes of goodbyes and another ten minute walk, I was back in my room and on my computer. I wondered briefly who the red head was, but decided I didn't want to make any connections since I was going to be gone in five months anyways. I wanted nothing to be able to keep me rooted here.

Oh wow, I just noticed that someone moved all my shit up here. Yeah, I know. I'm one hell of a genius. I've only spent the last four hours in here, save for dinner. I'm going to go see if Hayner is online, he's probably wondering if I'm still alive or if I've gone insane and killed anyone yet.

May 8th, 2012

I decided I like it here during the week day. Week days, I don't have to deal with people. Cloud and Leon are both at work, and Sora is a school. I'm free to pretty much wander around as much as I want, I even have my own key now, and they are very insistent that I lock up every time I leave. Sunday and Monday were both too hot to really do any wandering, so I went hunting for all the junk food in the house, which surprisingly wasn't much, and parked myself in front of the TV, found Sora's stash of Xbox games, and gamed all day. He didn't have anything I haven't already played, but I knew mine were somewhere upstairs in my room, though I was just too lazy to go through it all.

Though today, it wasn't too hot, it was kind of cloudy so I decided it was a good day to go and check around town. The layout was really simple, so I recognized parts of it from when I went on that beach trip and from the drive back from the airport. I came across a second hand shop with a help wanted sign during my journeys through this too-happy town. I didn't have any resumes prepared, but I went in anyway. It was cute, and it had a sweet looking little old lady running the counter.

I went up to her and asked about it, and she smiled at me sweetly while she told me how she was looking for someone who was willing to mind the store a couple days a week when she had to go to the mainland for various doctor's appointments. I told her that I didn't have my resume or anything but that I was interested in the position because I wouldn't be back at school until the new school year started. We started chatting for a while, and we told each other little snippets of her life. She never had any children, and her husband passed away a few years ago, and all she really has left is her little shop she started to help keep her days busy. In the end, she asked me if I would be able to go in tomorrow, and I said sure, and she said she would like me there for opening the next day. I said thank you, gave her a kiss on the cheek and told her that I would see her first thing in the morning. I was excited. I was also glad that I knew I was less likely to die of boredom in this little town. I made my way back to my father's and made sure I was able to remember the way back to the shop in the morning.

At dinner, they asked me if I did anything interesting that day, because Sora had found the door locked with no one home when he got back from school. I had told them that I had gotten a job at the second hand shop, and I couldn't really tell what they thought about it. Sora started prattling about how sweet Mrs. Williams was, and that he was glad he had a new reason to visit her. I tuned the rest of what he had said out since it was never important. Eventually, I excused myself and went up to my room to see if I could torrent Skyrim onto my computer.

Another chapter done.

This story seems to be writing itself for the most part.

We'll see what happens next.

Don't forget the review and leave any thoughts!
