Micheal pet Meowscles. Suddenly, he heard his mom come in. Micheal rushed and quickly turned off the radio playing spy music and gun sounds.
"MICHEAL!" His mom screamed up the stairs.
"Y-yeah?" Micheal said, sheepishly.
"GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT!" She ordered.
Micheal ran down the stairs and was greeted by his mom full of rage.
"What is this mess?" She asked, trying to keep her cool, which she already failed at.
I was playing spies with Meowscles. Micheal looked at all the pillows and stuff. His mom pinched her nose and shook her head.
"What am I going to do with you?" She joked.
Micheal smiled. "I'll clean up." And with that, he grabbed all the pillows and stuff and put them away.
When he was finished he went back up to his room and sat on his bed with Meowscles. His phone started buzzing and vibrating. He picked it up and the name Tina ran across the top of his screen, he swiped up.
"What's up?" Micheal asked.
"Nothing, but, how you doin?" Tina asked.
Micheal laid down. "Fine, fine, you?" He asked.
Tina was hesitant. "Would your mom be ok with it if I came over?" Tina asked.
Micheal ran downstairs and asked his mom.
"Hmmmm...well, ah, sure." Mom chuckled.
Michael smiled and thanked her. His mom smiled and waved him away.
A little while later, Tina arrived. We let her in and we went upstairs. They were sitting in Michael's room. They were chatting and Tina went silent for a little. Micheal looked at her.
"What's wrong?" Micheal asked.
Tina's face turned red. She looked at him.
"We're, 13, and we've been friends since we were 5." Tina said.
Micheal nodded. "Yeah, you're right. And?" Micheal looked a little confused.
Tina scratched the back of her head. She bit her lip then lunged forward and kissed Micheal. Micheal's eyes widened. Tina wrapped her arms around him. Micheal's face turned red. Tina smiled. Micheal stared at her, filled with so many feelings.
"What...why...You just..I..." Micheal kept sputtering out random words.
Tina placed a finger over Micheal's lips.
"You're a...good..k-kisser." Micheal smiled.
Tina smiled and tilted her head. Micheal could feel her breathing on his face.
god damn it, Micheal, do something! Don't just sit there! Micheal thought. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her back. He went to back away, but Tina held him tight. At that point they were making out. Tina leaned her head on his chest. Micheal started stroked her hair.
"Do you want to..." Tina trailed off.
Micheal's face filled with shock. He stuttered alot and stuff, but then, just in time, his mom came knocking on his door. Tina shot up and they jumped down to play with Meowscles. Micheal's mom came in.
"You two having a good time?" She asked.
They nodded.
"Good, well, dinners ready incase you're hungry." His mom motioned to the stairs.
They jumped up and ran downstairs. They sat down at the table.
"Do you want Slurp juice, raspberry juice, pepsi or milk to drink?" Micheal's mom asked
"I'll take Slurp juice." Tina said, Micheal asked for Slurp too.
Micheal's mom sat down at the table with their drinks and their food, they started eating. Meowscles stared at the steaming food. He stepped back and ran forward. He jumped high and landed right on the table. Tina yelped in surprise. Meowscles accidentally knocked over the slurp juice. He started licking up the slurp juice.
"No, no! Bad Meowscles!" Micheal picked up Meowscles.
His paws were sticky and blue from the Slurp Juice. Micheal set down Meowscles and then sat back down with the Tina and his mom. They kept eating like nothing happened. They all chatted for a while when they were done. Meowscles was hanging from the fridge handle. The fridge creaked open slightly. Meowscles jumped in. He scattered through everything. He knocked over a Slurp Juice and managed to pop the top of the can open. He started licking up the juice. No one noticed. When Meowscles finished the can of Slurp Juice, he leapt out of the fridge and let it creak shut behind him. He went upstairs and laid down.
A few hours later, Tina's parents came and picked her up.
"Bye Mrs. Williams, the meal was incredible!" Tina waved as she backed out the door.
"Don't mention it." Micheal's mom waved to Tina.
Tina ran over to her parents' car and drove off. Micheal's mom was washing the dishes. Micheal snuck upstairs and into his room. He sat down on his bed. He stared down at Meowscles and gasped. Meowscles had Slurp juice all over his paws and a ring around his mouth.
"Oh shit." Micheal whispered.
He jumped up and ran Meowscles to the bathroom. He washed him and splashed water into his mouth. Micheal quickly ran downstairs afterwards. He grabbed an empty can of Slurp Juice and read the label.
NOT SAFE FOR ANIMALS.
He threw the can back into the bag and ran back upstairs. He paced back and forth around his room, so much that he had left his foot prints in the carpet where he kept walking. He was worried, but he realized he couldn't do much. He laid down in bed and looked at the time. 8:00. An hour until his bed time. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. Meowscles woke up in the middle of the night and felt a weird feeling in his stomach. He tossed and turned a little and meowed alot.
Micheal woke up that morning and jumped up. Meowscles was standing on his hind legs. He still looked like a cute, little cat, but he was standing on his hind legs. He brushed it off as Meowscles looking for attention. He got up and walked to the bathroom, but noticed Meowscles was walking behind him, on his hind legs.
"Ok, that's cool." Micheal chuckled.
Micheal got ready. Brushed, threw on a nice orange polo and jeans and then ran out to get to school.
When Micheal got there, his worst nightmare was standing by his locker. It was John's body guard. He always wore sunglasses and a gray long sleeved shirt with a clip on tie. He was big. Everyone called him Brutus, to the point where no one actually knew his real name, not that they wanted to. Micheal stopped short of his locker, praying Brutus didn't notice him. Brutus cracked his neck and knuckles. He snapped his head to the side and stared right at Micheal. Shit. Micheal stood there and stared at Brutus, face full of fear. Brutus gave him an emotionless stare, it felt like he was burning through his head and staring into his soul. They stood there for a solid minute. Brutus made the first move. He started walking towards Micheal. Micheal was freaking out inside. Brutus grew closer to Micheal. Micheal braced himself for a punch in the face and bruises. Brutus was so close now. Micheal closed his eyes. Brutus just walked by Micheal. Micheal felt like 15 pounds of anxiety and fear fly off of him. Until he felt a large hand hit him in the back. Micheal flew forward and slammed into the locker. He slid down the locker. Brutus was staring at Micheal. He put his hands out like he was holding a stick sideways. His hands shook then he flipped his hands up, like he broke the thing. He pointed at Micheal. Just Brutus pointing at him made Micheal feel like he stabbed a knife into his chest. Brutus turned and walked away. That was just a warning. Micheal felt something running down his nose, sure enough, it was blood. He put his bags away and got to class. Micheal barely paid attention during class, especially during Mr. Snicks slide show about war. He just kept thinking. He didn't know what he was thinking about. He just felt anxiety, random anxiety.
Meowscles walked around the house. Even though he could stand, he was only as tall as a cupboard door. Meowscles knocked stuff off table and other stuff. Meowscles spent all day just walking around.
On the way to lunch, he saw Brutus again. Brutus was standing by the door to the lunch room, he didn't really bother anyone, except for the small kids or the nerds. Micheal walked by and Brutus stuck his arm out to stop him. Micheal looked at Brutus. Brutus stuck his hand out. Micheal knew what Brutus wanted.
"No." Micheal said and walked around Brutus' arm. Brutus turned quickly and grabbed Micheal by his collar.
"What did you just say to me?" Brutus' deep voice rang out.
Micheal squirmed and struggled to get out of Brutus' grip, but it was no use. Brutus started shaking Micheal. He reached into Micheal's pocket and ripped the money out. He dropped Micheal onto the ground. Brutus counted the money, then shoved it into his pocket. Micheal slowly got up and walked to the cafeteria. He saw Tina and Skye waiting for him. Tina held out 5 bucks. Micheal stared at it.
"Take it." Tina said.
"No, no, it's yours." Micheal shook his head.
Tina rolled her eyes and chuckled.
"I brought in 10 bucks, I knew he'd take your money." Tina grabbed Micheal's hand and slapped the money into it.
They walked up to the lunch line. They got their food and sat down at a table.
"So, things aren't going too good between you, John and Brutus?" Skye asked as she stabbed at her mashed potatoes.
"Nope." Micheal shook his head.
Tina placed a hand on his shoulder, Micheal's face turned red.
"Don't worry, things are gonna get better." Tina smiled. Micheal smiled, too.
Micheal closed the door behind him, he gasped. His mouth hung wide open. He saw Meowscles sitting on the couch, he was almost as tall as him. But more importantly, was the major mess.
