Live the Fantasy

It was a Sunday and I was incredibly bored, not just normal bored but incredibly bored. You see I was suffering from what is medically called senioritis, being a high school senior in the last month of one's education and being out of fucks to give. I just couldn't shake the feeling I wasn't doing what I needed to be doing. I had done all my homework, none of my friends were online, and I was there with nothing to watch or do. So when my phone buzzed it seemed as if God himself had provided salvation. The text was from Brook who lived a couple houses down. Brook and I had been friends since we decided fighting each other on the playground in kindergarten sucked and they should just be friends. As male friendships go it was as good a reason as any and so we had been partners in crime all the way through school until now.

I didn't even read all of what Brook had texted before slapping on some sandals and running downstairs to find my Mom Val. Rushing into the living room I found her reading a book on the couch.

"HIMOMISITOKAYIFIGOOVERTOBROOKSFORTHERESTOFTHENIGHT?" I said in one long run together word while already moving towards the door.

"Hold it Alex," Val said looking up.

"Whattttttttttttttttttttttt" I said annoyed that I had to endure another moment of boredom. I loved his mom dearly, it was just the two of us after all but I also loved not being bored so I was torn.

"We haven't talked all weekend and I wanted to check up on you honey. Have you been feeling okay, anything strange happen this weekend?" Mom asked searchingly.

Running through the list of things Mom shouldn't know about I didn't find anything and I wasn't going to admit I had actually been feeling a bit strange. Recently my dreams had been really strange and I kept getting strange visions around people. I kept seeing them with the person of their dreams but I was also a young man so randomly thinking about sex wasn't too unusual. Instead of admitting any of that very embarrassing and weird stuff to my mother I simply said "No? Should I be feeling strange Mom?"

"Well there is a family history of issues around your age so I'm not sure, I had some issues when I was around your age so I just want to make sure you are okay honey. Yes, you can go to Brook's house, text me if anything happens" Val said going back to her book.

Shrugging I ran out the door and over to Brook's house. It was only a ten or fifteen-minute walk through cookie-cutter average American suburbia but it went by in a flash
