Chapter Four Welcome to the land of misfit toys
"Shall I begin by introducing you?"
"No."
But he took me by the sleeve and dragged me along anyways. Why the fuck did he ask if he was gonna do it anyways?!
"Lets start off with an easy one."
"Easy?"
"This here is Mr. Jekyll."
I looked at him confusingly.
"That's a girl."
"Wait for it-"
She then spotted us and walked over.
"Hi! My names Sakura!"
I then smiled back at her and shook her hand. She seemed nice…
"I'm-"
"I WILL DEVOUR YOUR SOUL!" I think I may of wet myself a little… she then smiled sweetly. "Have a nice day."
I twitched as she hopped off.
"Da fuck?"
"Don't forget SHE'S the easy one." I think my twitch button broke. His smirk grew wider "Moving on."
"No! You can't make me!" I then hugged a pole "I don't wanna!"
"…Is that a challenge?" I shook my head "Challenge accepted."
-
…Ow. He didn't need to do that…
"That there is Naruto."
I blinked a few times.
"So like what, he's colorblind?"
"Look again."
I looked harder at him. Actually giving it my all to figure out just what was wrong with him… other than the fact that he was here.
"He hasn't seen a comb in decades?"
"Oh for crying out- He's got whiskers on his fucking FACE!"
"…oh." The boy pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. I then turned and noticed someone else. "So that's why he's missed up to?" The boy followed where my finger was pointing and laughed.
"Ah Annie."
"Annie?"
"Sh!" he then covered my mouth "If he hears you calling him that he will MURDER you."
"But you just-"
"Cause I'm god."
"Huh?"
"Moving on…"
He then pushed me to the last kid in the room.
Considering all the other horrors I had seen today I began preparing myself. He must have been saving the worst for last.
"And this here is Sasuke."
I looked up and down at him. First judgment, he was a goth (no other boys wear THAT much eyeliner) and had one hell of an attitude. I got that from just his poster. He clearly didn't give a shit. That and he looked meaner than hell. I gulped. I didn't want to know this kid.
"S-so uh, what's his problem?"
I asked meekly.
"… He thinks he's a rich snob."
I blinked a few times. Seriously? That's it?
"Is he?"
"Well he lives here…but I'd say he's half way there."
"How so?"
"He's a SNOB."
I then burst out laughing.
"Ah man, and here I thought the last person you'd introduce me to would be the devil or something!" but as I laughed I notice that damn smirk of his never leaving. My laughter soon died.
"There's one more person, isn't there?"
He closed his eyes and smiled innocently.
"Only me." He then took his hand out and I was about to shake it- "I'm Shino, you're new roommate." And then immediately pulled back
"Since when!?"
"Since I said so."
"Don't I get a say in this?"
"Hmmm, no."
And walked off. I gritted my teeth, oooh I did NOT like this guy.
"Huh, he must really like you."
I then turned to see pineapple boy.
"Like me? That son of a bitch is trying to ruin my life!"
"Exactly. If he didn't like you he wouldn't of bothered. Too troublesome."
I tried coming back with an excuse, but my brain was mush.
"…stop using your logic on me." I groaned "Your logic does not compute."
He looked at me confusingly.
"Are you some kind of robot?"
"…maybe."
He merely rolled his eyes before taking his hand out to shake.
"My names-"
"Pineapple head-" I then realized my mistake and blushed covering my mouth and chuckled "I mean, uh, Shikamaru right? Satin child told me."
He looked at me dully but shook my hand anyways.
"I'm gonna be stuck with that nickname, aren't I?"
"Pretty much."
"…fuck my life."
He then started walking away, but then turned back to look at me.
"Yeah coming or not?"
I glared at him. Could of told me he wanted me to follow.
"Where?"
"Uh, where else? Your room."
The room wasn't bad. Heck, it was probably about the same size as my last one but roomier since it didn't have all my crap in it. But if there were one thing I had to criticize it would have to be the beds. They looked old and shity.
"And here is where you'll be staying."
I then walked in and flopped on the unused bed. It squeaked pathetically underneath me. Wow they really were crap.
"Aw, a four star room? You shouldn't have."
He snorted.
"Yeah well, don't make yourself TOO conferrable, I'll be here tomorrow to wake you up at 8:00."
"Do it and you'll DIE."
"Ah huh, that's nice." He smirked devilishly. "Would you like me to bring up toast for you as well for your crummy day?"
I merely smiled and tiled my head to the side.
"Why yes I would, with butter and jam please."
"I'll see to it then." He then started heading towards the door looking back one last time "Until then, welcome to the land of misfit toys." And shut the door behind him.
"…the fuck does that even mean?"
I asked confusingly at the door. I shrugged and looked at my clock. It was getting late. Granted I hadn't ate dinner yet, but I don't think I was gonna eat anything here even if I was hungry. I sighed as I turned on my bed and flipped open my phone. Again, no new messages. None. My eyes began to water and I kicked the black metal frame of the bed in frustration. Again it squeaked pathetically.
"Stupid bed…"
I huddled into a ball and closed my eyes. I might as well try to get some sleep. Tomorrow was probably gonna be a busy day.
