Chapter 9: Netflix

"Yeah, nothing."

"Have you tried resetting?"

"Yes like three times", he huffed. "Whatever. I'll sort it out tomorrow."

I chuckled.

"Dude, that sucks."

"I know. So how are you anyway?"

No one ever really asked me how I was. It was honestly nice to hear the question.

"I'm good actually. Happy it's Friday, yourself?"

"Oh me too. We can actually sleep in! Ugh, so happy."

"Yeah, for sure."

I turned off my ps4, just wanting to talk to Luke. I stood up and began to walk around my room as we engaged in a conversation.

"So do you have any plans for the weekend?"

"Sleep! I just told you."

I snorted. "Yes but what else? you can't sleep all day."

"Try me, clifford."

I grinned.

"That's fair."

"What about you mr busy?"

"Well, when i finally wake up, I will get breakfast. Then I'll have a shower, and get dressed. Then I'll play ps4."

"Wow, that's so exciting", he said sarcastically.

"Better than sleeping all day."

"Fuck you, I have no ps4 now."

I giggled, laying down on my bed. It was nice to talk to someone on the phone. Before Luke, I never did.

"My bad."

"Yeah, it is."

I rolled my eyes.

"You're like a kid."

"I am a kid."

I yawned, wiping my eyes.

"That's true."

"Am I boring you, Michael Clifford?"

I smiled.

"No. I'm just so tired from doing shit all at school all week."

He giggled, and I swear it was my new favorite sound.

"I know right. It's so hard being us."

"Yo, I may watch something on Netflix", I turned on my flat-screen TV that was on my wall.

"Oh my god, I wish I could too. My mom canceled the membership."

"What, why?"

"After all my detentions, it's her idea of punishment."

I laughed.

"Damn, you really are not having fun."

"I hate life."

"Well, you could come over sometime if you wanted? T-to like watch netflix?"

I closed my eyes as i heard myself stutter. Get yourself together, Michael.

He hummed.

"That would be cool."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. I mean I'd have to check my schedule first but."

I laughed.

"You have no ps4 and no TV. What else you could be doing?"

"Sleeping."

we both chuckled at that. For the first time in a while, I was truly happy. Luke made me happy.

"You're stupid."

"And you're a dick."

"A dick with netflix."

"Fuck off", he whined. "I'm going now."

but i wanted to talk to him all night.

"To bed?"

"Yeah, there's nothing else to do."

I played with a loose thread on my tracksuit bottoms as i spoke.

"Well, I-I guess i'll just see you Monday then."

"Ugh. don't say the m word."

I snorted.

"I should let you go and have your bottle and get into your pj's."

"Shut the fuck up.", he laughed.

I laughed too. I didn't want him to hang up.

"Enjoy your twenty-four hour sleep."

"Oh, I will. Enjoy your Netflix."

I would enjoy it more if you were here is what i wanted to say. But i didn't. Instead, I said,

"Goodnight, luke."

"Goodnight Michaelangelo."

I smirked and waited for him to hang up first. Then i stared at our first call together, imprinted on my phone. I couldn't wait for the next one.
