In all caps then draws a nose and wishkers on him. It was actually pretty adorable. Jared laughs then toss me his phone
"Yo take a pic this"
I take a picture and send it to myself while I'm at it.
"Wanna go play apocalypse of the Damned?" Jared asks
"Totally it's a two player game"
I say as we head downstairs. I set up the game and we take our seats.
"What level are we on again?"
Jared asks
"Level nine"
"The caftorium!"
"Find the bad guy, push him aside
Then move on forward with your friend at your side"
I sing Jared laughs but understands what I want to do.
"It's a two-player game, so when they make an attack"
Jared sings smiling but it fades when his character starts dying.
"You know you got a brother, gonna have your back"
I sing and save his character just in time.
"Then you stay on track and--
Ah! Remain on course
And if they give you a smack, you--
Gah! You use your force!"
We both sing in unison.
"And if you leave your brother behind, it's lame
'Cause it's an effed-up world
But it's a two-player game!"
Jared says bumping my shoulder with his shoulder when I was leaving him behind in the game.
"Hey!" I say then pause the game and look over to Jared. "Jared do you think I'm lame? Will I ever be cool? Or at least normal?"
"Dude, you are cooler than a vintage cassette
It's just that no one else but me thinks that yet
You're just a nothing in this high school scheme
But it's no big, 'cause you and I are a team" Jared says I smile but say nothing.
"We like out-of-print games
Retro skates
Nobody here appreciates
But soon we'll be together where they do" Jared sings and pokes my cheek.
'Cause guys like us are cool in college
Cool in college, this I know
Guys like us are cool in college
We rule in college, listen bro
High school is hell, but we navigate it well
'Cause what we do, is we make it a two-player game" Jared finished singing.
"Thank you that makes me feel better.....can we include Connor in our plans?"
I ask thinking about how college is coming up, maybe he can come to the same college as us? Jared groans
"But whhhhyyyyy?"
He whines and un pause the game
"Connor is cool and an awesome guy, b-besides we're all friends right?"
I say hoping he would agree with me.
"Me and Connor are frenemies, but since you want him involved I guess we can include him" we go back to playing the game.
"Hello?"
"Blood!"
Jared and I say as blood splatters in the game.
"Evan?"
"Claws!"
"Hansen!"
"Pause"
Jared said and then we both turn to look at Connor.
"Sorry I didn't hear you" I say and put down the controller and smile at him, he still had Jared drawing on him.
"What are you guys doing?"
Connor asks sitting on the couch still wrapped in my blanket
"Play a game what about meow?"
Jared says with a smirk
Connor ignores him. "Do you guys want to go get something to eat?"
I hesitate to answer him debating on if I should tell him what Jared did, but Jared? He said yes right away.
We all get into Connor car and drive to dairy Queen.
"Can I get three number twos?"
Connor orders then loos back to us "you guys want anything?" I laugh and he grins.
"Would you like some milk with your meal sir?"
The cashier asks Connor looks at him confused "um no thanks"
He says paying the cashier "have a purrrrfect day" the cashier said while handing Connor the receipt.
"Meow" a little girl says to Connor while passing by.
Connor went to flip her off but I glared at him "didn't know you could glare tree boy"
"That kid was only like five"
Connor shrugged. We picked a table near the back of the restaurant.
Jared comes back with our food.
"I like cats what about you Connor?" Jared asks while eating.
"There alright"
Jake and Rick walk pass our table but stop when they see Connor.
Rich begins aggressively meowing at Connor. I hold in my laugh but Jared joins in the meowing then some how Jared and rich begins to have a conversation in cat.
"Meow MeOw meow" rich meows Jared nods and thinks for a second before he goes
"Meow...meowmeow meow mEOw"
Rich acts offended
"MEOW MEOW HISSS"
Then walks off with Jake.
Connor shakes his head "fucking furries" (author note I got nothing against them but saw a meme like this couldn't help myself no offense sorry) Rich runs back to the table
"Okay but you have meow on your head who's the fucking furry" Connor looks at him confuzzled.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
Rich pulls out his phone and shows Connor. Connor looks over at Jared who is just sitting there smiling like an idiot
"Acorns idea" he quickly blames on me.
"N-n-no it wasn't!"
"I'm going to kick your ass Jared"
"I'm innocent!" He defends then laughs. Connor goes to the bathroom and wash off the marker which takes forever. After lunch Connor drops Jared off at his house.
"Want to go hangout at my house?" Connor asks me
I shake my head
"Can we go to the park instead?"
