When I awoke in the morning, well not really morning as it was almost 1 pm, it was very quiet in the house. Not a single sound indicated that mom and dad were up, which I knew they were because they somehow always woke up at 7 am, no matter what. I just assumed they were working. I wouldn't be surprised if they were on the news today.

I was considering just staying in bed forever when my stomach growled. Dam you, human needs.

I didn't bother to change out of my pajamas so in just boxers and an oversized shirt I made my way to the kitchen. There was a pink post-it note on the table.

We're working today

Well be back pretty late so don't worry

Ps. There's breakfast on the stove and lunch money on the counter

-Mom 3

There was indeed a plate of pancakes on the stove. They were most likely cold by now but pancakes are pancakes and I'll be damned if I ever turn down pancakes.

After drenching the pancakes in syrup I dug in. It tasted just as heavenly as usual, despite the fact that they were made several hours ago. They were still a bit dry though, so I poured myself a glass of green ice tea.

It didn't take long to finish the pancakes and after cleaning up after myself I went back to my room and dramatically fell onto my bed. I wasn't even that tired. I just didn't want to deal with the world today.

I pulled out my phone and my thumb hovered over the icons, not really sure what I wanted to do. Finally, I decided to watch YouTube. I saw that Jacksepticeye had uploaded another 'Jacksepticeye's funniest home videos'. Those were always funny.

About three hours later I put my phone down after I'd somehow ended up on the weird side of YouTube.

I sighed loudly and looked around my room for something else to do but nothing appealed me right now.

I almost considered reading a book when, thankfully, I remembered I'd promised Wally to play Overwatch with him today. Seeing as it was already 4 pm I figured he'd be home from school by now. I eagerly turned everything on and sent him a message.

'hey m8 u up for some overwatch??'

Wally replied almost immediately. He must've already been playing something.

'yaas my current team sucks!! I'll leave and join u'

I sent Wally an invitation to the mic chat and he joined.

"Hey man! what do you wanna play?" he asked.

"How about a bunch of quick plays. I need to practice other heroes anyway" I suggested.

"Yeah! Let's do that. I need some practice too" Wally agreed.

There wasn't really much to tell about the quick plays. We lost some, but ultimately, we won most of them. Some 'Thanatos_Ultima' dude joined us after a few games. He sounded like he was 12, especially when he started screaming and crying over the tiniest things. We would've kicked him out but he was pretty good at the game so for the sake of victory we let him stay. Plus it was kind of amusing when a girl, probably his sis, told him to shut the fuck up. Short after that, we lost the game. Suddenly there was a loud crack in the mic chat that scared the shit out of Wally. A high pitched shriek was heard through the mic. It was quiet for a moment before I heard the girl's voice.

"Jesus Christ! I'm so sorry about that. He threw the mic" she apologized.

"No worries mate," I said.

"Mind if I join you. I'm not really that good though" she then asked.

"Yeah! No problem. We're honestly just practicing different heroes at the moment so you'll be fine" Wally said excitedly.

As the next game begun she picked Reaper, I picked Moira and Wally picked Genji.

The girl was actually pretty good at the game, and honestly, it was so much nicer without that screaming kid.

The girl had left after about three hours but Wally and I had continued playing for another two.

"Hey, dude! We should totally exchange phone numbers or something. You have Whatsapp, right?" Wally asked.

I thought about it for a few moments. I didn't really give my number out to people. I basically only had mom and dad in my contacts. On the other hand, this wasn't some random dude. This was Wally. I could make an exception for him, right?

"Yeah, sure! Let's do that" I answered.

"Do you have your phone with you?" Wally asked.

I replied with a 'yeah'.

Wally told me his number and I added him to my contacts.

"By the way, what should I call you," I asked since Wally couldn't know I knew who he was.

"My name's Wally. What's yours?" he asked.

"Robin" I blurted out.

I had no idea where that came from, but it was the first thing I could think of and it'd have to work.

"Cool! It'll be a lot easier to talk now" Wally said.

"Yeah" I agreed.

We only had time for two more games before Wally had to leave.

"Man, I swear they're keeping me busy on purpose just so Conner can watch his stupid static" he complained.

"Why the fuck does he watch static?" I asked, genuinely curious.

"No one knows, man. Not even Conner. It'll forever remain a mystery" Wally laughed.

We said our goodbyes and Wally promised he would text me when he got away from whatever he was supposed to be doing.

It had gotten pretty late by now so I decided to stop playing for today and watch Netflix instead. I had a few shows that I'd only watched halfway through since I was always finding new shows to watch. I decided to watch Supernatural since I had about six seasons to catch up on.
