Chappie 4
It was 6pm and I was thinking about leaving since… Maybe they were getting agitated with me hanging around. But I didn't want to go back to the hellhole known as my apartment.
I was in 2D's room and had started to pack away some of my clothes into my bag when he came in.
"What ya doin'?" he asked, sitting on his bed.
"Packing. I don't think you guys need me hanging around any longer."
"Yer leavin'? But I f'ought ya hated yer apartment 'nd livin' wiv' ya roommates."
I sighed "I do. But… I should go. I've stayed the night and that's enough. I think I've stressed you out a lot so me staying longer isn't going to help."
"But I… We dun' wan' ya to leave. Yer great company for us 'nd ya hate yer apartment so why not stay wiv' us?"
My eyes widened "Me… Stay with you guys as in… living with you?"
2D smiled "Yeah."
"Oh my God! And you don't mind?"
"Nah. I dunno 'bout Murdoc but we neva' really listen to 'im anyways."
I was so exited that I didn't realize what I was doing. I reached over and gave 2D a hug. Then… I thought oh shit… However, I felt him accept the hug by hugging me back I am getting a hug from 2D, lead singer of Gorillaz... Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick!
"Ya can let go now." He said.
"Oh… Sorry." I let go "So you weren't joking about it, were you?"
"Nah, course not. I dun' joke… Of'en."
I felt like giving him a kiss. But I couldn't. He is like four years older than me. Next week was my Birthday, so that would make it three years… Still, it's not O.K..
"Uh… What's wrong?"
I suddenly noticed I was thinking and it looked like I was staring into space.
"What ya gawkin' at?"
"Sorry… My mind waders a lot and sometimes I daydream in the middle of a conversation."
"I do dat sometimes as well."
Later, Noodle had invited me to watch T.V. but I declined. I wasn't an Anime person. Instead, I asked 2D if I could use his PC. He said it was O.K. I was going to check my mail. Fifty-eight unread messages. Fifty-seven of them were bulk. I opened the only one in my inbox. It was from my best mate, Hilary.
I groaned. She was pissed at me again just because I used her cat to wash her parents' car. I offered to help her out since she had just moved house and she was stressed out.
"What's wrong?" 2D asked, coming out from his bathroom. He was brushing his teeth so toothpaste flew onto the floor and narrowly missed me.
"My friend Hilary is pissed at me…"
"Why?" I could barely understand him.
"Oh. Nothing serious. I just used her cat to scrub her parents' car."
2D grinned. Toothpaste foamed around his mouth. It looked like he had rabies. He went back into his bathroom to spit it out.
I replied to her:
Dear Hil,
Look, you retard, there was no F. sponge to use! What do you expect me to do? Use dirt and leaves? Besides, your cat is cleaner now, isn't he? I never liked him; he always tired to hump my leg. I don't blame him, I am damn hot. Anyway, if you are going to get so testy over petty matters, I think we should be friends with other people. I already got four new mates… Maybe not four, more likely three. I'll tell you their names.

As I pushed send, I heard a small snicker. 2D had read it secretly over my shoulder.
"Hey," I said "There is a thing called privacy, does it appear in your dictionary?"
"It does but I can't be bov'ered to read it prop'ly."
I pushed him and he fell harder than I intended on the floor. I turned back to the computer and closed all the windows.
"Thanks for letting me use your PC." I smiled at him.
"Nah prob'."
We looked at each other for a second. A long second.
"Hey, dullard!" Murdoc's voice broke our stare and he broke down 2D's door.
"Oi! What ya fink yer doin'?" 2D started to protest as Murdoc picked him up by his shirt collar and pinned him against the wall.
"Where's my porno?" Murdoc spat in his face.
"'ow da hell should I know?"
I yanked Murdoc away from 2D "Would you bugger off! Leave him alone. He didn't take your damn, bloody porno!"
Murdoc growled at me "Then where is it?"
I smirked "Up your ass, gimp." His stare grew colder.
"It'd fit!" 2D added. Murdoc looked back at him. He muttered some curses under his breath and left.
I looked at the broken door "Does he break it down often?"
"Yeah, I need to get some reinforced concrete or sum'ink."
