Pink After Dark (On Hold)

Chapter Four - I Want To See You Again

“SOMEBODY ONCE TOLD ME THE WORLD IS GONNA ROLL ME, I AIN'T THE SHARPEST TOOL IN THE SHHEEDD. SHE WAS LOOKIN KINDA DUMB WITH HER FINGER AND HER THUMB, IN THE SHAPE, OF AN “L”, ON HER FOREHEAD!!!!!”

I woke up to my sister singing All Star in the next room, and I bet any amount of money she was watching Shrek! I love Shrek!!! Who wouldn’t love Shrek?? I mean come on… He’s GREEN!!! And he’s an ogre!! I wanted to be an ogre all my life!!!.....  Well maybe not all my life… only when I first seen the movie Shrek. Then I was like wouldn’t it be cool if I was green and an ogre?  Every time I heard this song I couldn’t think of nothing else but being a green ogre. Hahaha don’t you just love Shrek! Anyway, I had been up all night and was still super sleepy. I looked over at my clock. It read 2:13pm and I didn’t want to get up but I forced myself out of bed anyway. I loved my bed but I had to pee and was too hungry to stay in it. While getting up I notice I didn’t put my cell phone on my night stand last night, like I always do. I got up to check my purse. No cell phone. ‘Maybe I left it at Albrey’s house last night.’ I thought to myself. I couldn’t remember. Whatever ill just call her on her house later and ask if she’s seen it.

I walked out my room and headed straight to the bathroom to empty out my bladder. All that drinking last night had me really having to pee. While I was peeing I couldn’t help but notice a green pen sitting on the counter next to the toilet I was sitting on. And I couldn’t help but think about Shrek again… plus I could still hear the movie on in the next room. Ahh the spoils of being an ogre! I could only imagine the possibilities! I could spit, climb trees, scare humans… humans kinda suck ass if u ask me…. I mean we do so much to hurt the world and all that jazz….. Wait I just said and all that jazz! “He He He” I laughed to myself. I couldn’t help but think about Chicago the movie!! I LOVE that movie!! It’s so firkin funny! But a lot of men die in that movie. Anyway I really have to stop spacing out.  After I was finished using the bathroom I washed my hands then barged in my sister’s room.

“What’s up with the loud TV? You woke me up!” I yelled over the movie coming from her 42in Vizio TV, I had one in my room too. Her room was a baby blue color which is her favorite color. She loves to go to the beach and stare at the sea when we go on our yearly vacations. Her floor was covered in white fluffy carpet and her furniture was a mix between white and blue. Me and my sister really didn’t want a rainbow in our rooms we just liked the two solid color idea.

“Sorry sis but its almost 3 in the afternoon, you had to wake up sooner or later plus you know I love Shrek!”

“Yeah yeah well I’m up now. You hungry or did you eat already?” I asked feeling my stomach rumble.

“I had an apple and some yogurt but if you’re willing to cook I’m willing to eat!” My sister couldn’t cook to save her life. Lucky for her we kept food in the house that didn’t require cooking. Most of the time it was me and my dad doing the cooking or we would just eat cereal, which we are out of at the moment.

“I gotta tell dad we need more cereal. Anyway I’m willing to cook if you want to come with me and keep me company.” I said hoping she would.

“Alright let me just get my house shoes on.”

“Okay” I said looking at her. She had on her Detroit tiger’s pajama pants and a blue tank top. I and my sister were from Madison, Wisconsin but she loved the Detroit tigers for some reason. I think she had a crush on some guy on the team or whatever.

She turned off her TV and DVD player and slipped on her house shoes and we headed down stairs to the kitchen.

Entering the kitchen I went straight for the refrigerator. Looking for all the things I knew me and my sister would eat.
