Hi! Another update the next day! :) I have some time now so i'll be updating it more. Thanks for reading as always.
Shinji heard a bell ringing and he turned the direction where it was coming from. Renji and Shinji were playing the game Monopoly. Renji was almost completely sure that the game would be way over Shinji's head but it wasn't at all.
"Whats that?" I ask Renji.
"oh, the pizza must be here," Renji replies and gets up. "I'll go get it, call mom over so she can pay the bill," Renji runs over to the door and mom is already at the door so I don't have to call her to the door. I go over to the door and a teenager or so, rather some idiot was standing there with some pizza in her hands. She was looking at me surprised. On her pathetic looking uniform her name was on a small plate, it read Michelle.
"Oh are you the new boy that moved in recently?" Michelle asks mom. How the hell does she know? Don't tell me mom spread my existence to the whole neighborhood… what the heck?
"Yes, this is Shinji, he'll be living here," Mom tells her.
"hi shinji! You're pretty cute aren't you?" Michelle tries to be like one of those weird people who are like, oh you're so cute! Or oh I could just cuddle with you forever! But that's definitely not the truth, otherwise why wouldn't they stay longer than about 5 minutes or something?
"Well, Shinji is cute but he doesn't have much experience with other people," Mom explains.
"oh does he have an illness that makes it hard for him to express himself or talk?" Michelle questions. What the hell? Just because I don't like to talk to people doesn't mean that I have some sort of disease or something like that. She is the one who has an illness for someone to think like that!
"What the heck is your problem? I don't have a frickin illness!" I yell at her and give her an annoyed look.
"Shinji, mind your language!" Mom tells me.
"I could care less, the person's supposed to be just doing her job and what is she doing? She's being totally annoying and didn't she just call me mental?!" I say.
"No, I didn't mean to call you mental…" She started but I cut in.
"See! She did call me mental, whats wrong with people? Seriously? Mom im going to my room," I tell her and then start to leave. Renji looks shocked at how I took her words.
"I thought we were playing a game!" Renji tells me.
"I don't care right now, like I told mom, ill be in my room so, if you feel like it you can bring the pizza in my room, but you don't have to bother, actually that would probably a hassle for you so you don't even care," I start to leave and I could just feel how upset mom and renji were at me, maybe they just were gonna not talk to me or something, I was kind of hungry but that could wait till tomorrow. I walk down the hall and get to my room. When I enter I close the door tightly. Then, I look at my own room, realizing something. Wow… heres a lot of purple in here, I'll have to let them know about that. I need different colors in here its gonna be like a purple life for my entire time here, or am I staying here forever? Who knows…
I hear downstairs that mom is apologizing for my "rude" behavior and Renji is walking down the hall. I suppose that he is putting the pizza on the table and going to do what real families do, set it up and then eat or do something weird. Old dad called it some sort of unreal pathetic thing you do for religion or something, I wasn't paying attention very well, but it's a good excuse when your little, being in your own world, not in your parents. Unless you're my parents then it wasn't much of an excuse. But in a normal family… Wow… I dream about real families too much. I might be mental, but seriously who would say that a little is cute then call them mental? Do I really look mental or stupid? And I don't think I have talking issues I just don't like to talk to people that's all.
I hear a knock on my door. The knock sounded strange so I supposed that Renji or mom was there to go yell at me or something.
"Shinji? Want food? Mom says we should eat together, I know that you're mad but you should come out with us, its not that bad out here. Plus Michelle left so there is nothing to worry about. I promise that mom or I will never call you mental or anything okay?" Renji says on the other side of the door. Why would he be so nice, isn't he ready to like yell at me or something? Might as well go though since I am hungry.
"Whatever," I say and open my door. Renji is standing there with a smile on his face. "Whats your problem?"
"Hm? What are you saying little bro? Im inviting you to eat with Mom and I, we're gonna finish our game, although it might take a while and you did a lot today," Renji tells me.
"I don't care," I start walking down the hall to where the kitchen is. Mom already put pizza on some blue and purple paper plates and had a small table by where we were playing.
"See? Mom already got it set up! You remember what player piece you are?" Renji questions.
"duh, im not dumb," I say.
"I didn't say that you were dumb! I was just wondering, anyways you were the dog and I was the car," Renji picks up his piece on the game board and shows it to me. He puts it down and then he picks up mine and shows me. Currently I was winning by a long shot, Renji didn't think that I was so good at money related games.
"mom, you would never guess, Shinji is really good at money games! Its surprising and a little strange, but he really is!" Renji tells mom.
"Really? Is Renji right Shinji?" Mom asks me.
"I suppose, im not really that good," I reply.
" Well I'll see how good you are Shinji, anyways try the Hawaiian okay? It might taste good to you, Renji sure likes it,"
"whatever," I pick up this weird looking piece of pizza that has ham, pineapple, and cheese on it. I lift it up to my mouth and take a bite out of it. The flavor wasn't bad, ive had better but at least I got something I suppose, I rather have just pepperoni but what am I supposed to say to mom?
"Do you like it Shinji?" Mom asks.
"Eh? Whatever," I say just to seem safe.
"so you don't like it or do you like it? Im a little confused honey,"
"eh? Its okay, I'll eat it," I tell her.
"you don't have to force it down or anything, why don't you eat the pepperoni one okay?" Mom asks.
"whatever," I lift up the pizza to my mouth again and take another bite. Mom and Renji are smiling at me for some reason but its kind of nice.
"im glad that you're eating, im a little worried about your health, you look a little thin honey, not to be mean or anything," Mom mentions.
"whatever," I say.
"im being serious honey, you might want to eat more than one slice," mom suggests.
"I don't really like this though," I tell her.
"you should have some pepperoni then, eat as much as you like, I'll go get some soda for us to drink, you don't mind caffeine do you?" Mom asks. Personally I don't mind at all, keeping myself up lets me know whats going on in case anything good or bad is going to happen.
"mom, I don't think he gets sugar rushes," Renji comments.
"oh, I doubt that he has those, im just worried about him not getting enough sleep," Mom explains. She goes into the garage to get the sodas.
"are the sodas out there?" I ask.
"yeah, just in case you wanted to steal one, mom doesn't like it," Renji says, probably hoping that that's enough for me, which it sort of is. I doubt mom would ever hit me or something but I still rather be on the "safe side". Mom returns with two root beers and a coke.
"which one do you want Shinji?" Mom asks me.
"I don't care," I say
"Shinji, Im sure that you care, just take one," Mom sets down the sodas and lets me pick one.
"I don't really care," I say again.
"then Renji can choose his," Renji takes a root beer from the table and opened it. I guessed that I was supposed to do the same thing so I picked up the other root beer. Renji starts laughing for some reason which annoys me.
"whats so funny?" I demand.
"oh you just copied me and you did like the same motions and stuff, it was kind of cute," Renji tells me.
"c…cute? What the heck Renji?"
"well yeah, you are still young, people are going to say that you are cute and stuff, you'll have to get used to it. Also when you get older people are going to call you hot, just to let you know," Renji mentions.
"and how do you know this?" I ask.
"oh I just know things. Don't worry about it, you'll be called hot when you're ten or older,"
"whatever," I say.
"well honey, why don't you have another piece of pizza," Mom suggests. I look at the box of pizza and open it. I take out a slice and put it on my plate and closed the box.
"by the way Shinji, like I mentioned, I thought of putting you in school soon," Mom reminds.
"so?" I ask.
"since im most likely going to, you're going to need to know the kids around here more," Mom says.
"what?"
"it's a good suggestion and then you can feel more into the class and not out. I want you to be feeling like you don't have to have a limited language and not being able to express yourself,"
"isn't that what all parents want?" Renji asks.
"not my old ones," I remind. Renji looks apologetic and mom sighs. Its so obvious that shes not happy with Renji's comment.
"im sorry, shinji, I didn't mean to upset you or anything, you aren't angry or anything right?" Renji questions.
"no, I don't care," I say. I really did care its just I didn't want Renji to become upset or anything. I think that im developing something that my old mom called family love. I don't think I ever had it before with my other parents because my mom was so stupid and my dad was a total bastard. But mom and Renji seem to be like a real family.
"well, im glad I suppose, but if anything really bothers you then just let me know okay?" Renji tells me.
"thanks I guess," I say.
"your welcome, oh and you haven't even taken a bite of your pizza slice yet, go ahead, I must be talking too much or something aren't I?" Renji asks. Nah, just keep talking I like the sound of happy people and especially apologizing when they really mean it. I take a bite from the piece of pizza. Pepperoni is the best. Hawaiian isn't all that great.
"Taste better?" Mom asks.
"Yeah,"
"that's good, I guess that we know what your favorite type of pizza is now huh? Oh I'd like you to know my friends so you can get along with them. You met a few of them today," Renji requests.
"I don't mind,"
"that's good, mom, do you think that they could come over tomorrow?" Renji asks.
"honey, I think that you are going to fast on Shinji. He's only really been here for one day, I suppose since he seems so mature that he can handle it but we should really be going slower, would you like that Shinji?" Mom questions me.
"I don't care,"
"Honey, im sure that you have a preference,"
"I guess maybe a little slower," I don't really know, Im sort of used to this so I don't mind at all. I guess I don't care about a lot of stuff but this kind I don't think I have a preference even if people want me to.
"well, im glad that you are liking home, you are liking home right?" Renji asks.
"home… yeah," The sound of home sounds so nice when its here. Before it was terrible and I dreaded coming home, but now… I think that I'll like it. And I hope that will never, ever change.
Review please! and sorry if i got any info wrong like there isnt hawaiian or anything.
