Hello hello, I was gone on a small trip and I couldn't write anything for the story and I feel bad for leaving the story but I am back and ready to bring content to people who do like this story. I've also gotten advice on writing this so thank you to everyone who has reviewed and favorited the story. (I'll also try making these way longer than before but that might take longer for me to make chapters)

Anticipation

I trugded up the stairs up to the room ,that I now am able to pay for, and opened the door to see the place was empty. Taking off my shoes I took a look around the other rooms calling Victor and Garfields names in hope that they were here.

After searching for a bit I came to the conclusion that they had left, probably to get pizza like they always do, so I decided to relax a bit. I sat down on the couch and started flipping through the channels. I stopped after awhile since there were only news and re-runs on. I laid on the couch to get more comfortable and started daydreaming about the stuff I'd do and buy with my earnings when the exhaustion from today took over me, taking me into the peaceful darkness of sleep.

-AKE UP RICHARD!" I jumped up as I heard someone yelling at me. Looking around I saw Garfield standing over me looking annoyed.

"I wouldn't have woken you up but you were taking up the whole couch! How am I supposed to play games when I have no place to sit!?" Garfield yelled the last part seemingly to no one.

"Calm down Gar, he was just sleeping, and we just came back from the arcade. You can wait a little before playing even more games." Vic told Gar in big brother way.

"No, it's alright, I'm not tired anymore. Hey guys, guess what?"I was going to tell them the big news while I had them both near me.

"Did you finally get a girlfriend??"

"No Garfield"

"You're into cars now??"

"Not even close"

"Then what is it!" My roommates said in unison.

"I found a job today!" I exclaimed visibly excited about it.

"And maybe after you get a job you can learn to cook too." Victor told me sounding annoyed.

"Well I can cook some stuff but you are the resident chef here."

"Yeah, no-one cooks better than you Victor" Garfield said from behind the couch.

"Y'all not wrong" He said shaking his head with a smile on his face.

Later that day after playing games with my roommates I decided to go my room. It was nothing special, it just had a normal sized bed, a closet with a sliding mirror door and a small nightstand next to the bed.

I decided that being on my bed would be more comfortable than on the couch, especially since Victor and Garfield are sore losers.

I pulled out my phone to read. I felt like it was easier to find and read things online, not that I didn't like actual books. I scrolled through the place I usually find reading material only to find nothing to peak my interest and I didn't feel like getting up to find an actual book, so I decided to put on some music and think about all sorts of things.

I first started thinking about going to the gym. I am in pretty good shape, but I haven't gone in awhile, but then I remembered the reason I stopped going was because I had no money.

My mind wandered to college. It was pretty fun, it's where I met Vic and Gar, the classes weren't too hard, the girls weren't interesting to me so I never decided to go after anyone. In fact, I've been single for my whole life. I think that if you find a person you're "in love" with you should stay with her or him and don't get in a relationship just to be in one. I have turned down a couple girls though.

As I was thinking about that I started thinking of Rachel. She was a sweet girl and very nice. She was about the same height as me, me being 5'9, but she had a smaller build. Her hair was short and purple, which I wondered if it was dyed or somehow genetic. Her eyes were pools of an amazing amethyst color, again I wondered if they were contacts or if she was born with them.

"Why am I thinking of her so much?"I questioned myself.

"I don't like her, I just think she's an interesting person" Is the best reason I came to after thinking for awhile.

I decided to get up and get some coffee to clear my head of her.

"Yo, Rich. Help settle something for us!" I was bombarded by Victors voice as soon as I left my room.

"Hold on a sec" I told him as I was pouring my coffee. "What do you two need?"

Garfield pushed Vic out of the way "He says you're working at an auto parts store!" yelled before Vic could say a word.

"And Gar says you're working at a video game store" Vic said as he glared at Garfield. "So tell us who's right" He continued.

"Neither of you are right" I told them, both of them annoyed since they were wrong. "From what I saw it was a small kind of coffee shop"

Gar looked at me from the other side of the couch with a judging look. ,"Well that sounds boring!"

"At least it's a job. You still don't even have one" I argued.

"Well, I'm not the one in debt!" Gar yelled as he turned back around.

"Whatever" I walked back in my room with my coffee when my phone vibrated in my pocket. I took it out and it read:

1 Unread Message

Well that's the fourth chapter. I feel like it seems Garfield and Richard don't like each other but I don't exactly know how to write their interactions. This chapter is over 1k words so it's not short now. I wonder what the message Richard got is but thank you for reading. Bye Bye
