Chapter Text
Xen open his eyes to the light that was peeking in his room window he closed his eyes so that he wouldn't get blind by the light he sits up to check the time and it was 10:36
“Just a goddamn loop” he said to himself while getting out of bed to go grocery shopping because he was running out of food so Xen got some random shirts and pants and got his only pair of shoes he had in his closet and went to the bathroom to wash his face at least he might see someone he might like or from his tinder but who knows
when he finished changing, he got his car keys and phone he was thankful it was Saturday so that he doesn't have to worry about school and all that boring stuff he got out of his apartment he got down the stairs and walked to his car he got in and started the car he waited a little so that it can heat up a little and so that he checks his shop list so that he doesn't end up just buying random things that he won't even need or use ever in his life
and one time he ends up standing in the middle of the way of everyone in the store just to think what he needed or try to remember what he needed when he finished reading his shopping list, he started driving to the store it wasn't far from his apartment but not close enough for xen to go walking
when he got to the store, he waits a little to actually make sure if he actually needs the things, he is going to buy which mostly where food snacks and other needed stuff he got out of his car and closed the door and locked it
he walked in the store and started getting all the things he needed as fast as he can but then he heard someone he knew from school and wished that it wasn't them, but it could be someone else he wasn't sure cause he only heard their voice
when he was getting closer he saw Isaiah his biggest nightmare or better said a person who was probably raised by Satan himself he was a living hell that was for sure cause he made xen feel like he really wanted to die most of his life but of course it never actually went to xen’s mind to actually do it he was a coward to do that and cause he had friends that made him feel better after all the things Isaiah did to him
Xen was thankful that Isaiah didn't see him or his friends when he walked right past them to see who it was, he pretended to not see them cause well they might notice or something like that
xen needed to get something in that specific aisle but I mean he can just ignore it wasn't anything he needed “Isaiah you bad luck bitch” he said muttering it to himself, so no one hears
Xen decided to get somethings while Isaiah gang where still there maybe when he comes get maybe they will be gone, and he will be able to get what he needed
When he came back, they were gone xen’s plan worked and when he went to get what he needed some old lady came up to him “young man you shouldn't be getting that much sweet and junk,” said the old lady
Xen turn to look at the lady and it looked like a vegan lady xen stood up xen was really tall compared to the old lady “I'm sorry lady but I'm just trying to live a life and I deserve a little of junk food for my mental health” xen said kind of mad that someone butts in into his personal life
That old lady walks away and xen got depressed “jeez no one can enjoy life nowadays” he said getting some snacks and putting in his cart
Xen finally got to check out and got out of there with all the stuff he needed sadly didn't met no one hot not that he ever notices because he was not focusing on anything but getting the things he needs
When he got to his car and started so that it heats up while his packing all the groceries in his car and he but the bag where all the snacks in the passenger sit so, he could eat some snacks while driving
When xen finished he got in his car and started driving and when he could get a snack that was small that it won't make him crash cause he did crash before cause was trying to eat his lunch before school and still got in trouble for being late so always hated school since that day and they will just say “that it's your fault for getting distracted”
He always got mad just remembering about that day but of course that's all in the past so he shouldn't get mad no more well he says that to himself every time
When xen finally got home he got all the groceries from the car because he didn't want to go back at the car back and forth, so he just carried everything and locked his car and got in his apartment he struggled a little bit, but he managed it
He got in his apartment and put all the bags on the floor cause his arms were getting weak and started unpacking all the things
When xen finished he got one of the snacks he bought and went to his living room and put on the tv “today is already getting boring” he said to himself while he put on a movie
Xen had woken up by screaming and when he opened his eyes there was a different movie playing xen looked at his phone to see the time and realized he had dozed off
He turned off the tv and went to his room and saw all the notifications on his phone and saw 99+ messages and a 20 missed called from his two friends
He checked the messages that his friends were texting on the group chat they had they were just talking about hanging out and go for a drink
He saw that Avery kept texting her on her personal account asking if I was available to hang out and why is xen isn't answering his phone call or messages
And the rest of the messages were his tinder matches texting him
But xen really didn't care about those people he only cares about his friends
He answers Avery messages just saying that he was sleeping and didn't feel like going out today and that maybe tomorrow will feel better to go
But Avery kept saying that there will be school after tomorrow and that it will mean that they won't be able to drink much
Xen said that it doesn't matter that they can just skip the morning classes or just skip all the classes
And Avery would say that exams are going to start soon and that they need to start going to all the classes more and all the boring stuff that xen really didn't give a shit about
But in the end Avery actually agree and said that it wouldn't hurt to do it one last time but xen knew that this won't be the last time, but he didn't say nothing\
But then xen realized that he was going to be bored this whole day, so he just started playing some games and watching some videos he just did a lot of stuff while he had nothing to do
When he started getting tired, he ordered some food and while he waited for the food he just listened to some music and waited until he got a notification about his food, and it actually took a while that it got xen texting some of his tinder matches
When xen was closed to falling asleep he hears loud knocking he got as fast as he could and opened it was his food delivery
“Jeez that took quite a lot how much is it going to be young man” said xen while looking for his wallet “umm in total it will be $25.99 and sorry it took long when i got there it wasn't ready yet”
“It's fine as long as i got my food here you go man have 30 keep the change” said xen getting his food and winking at the man and closed the door
Xen didn't mean to wink it just became a habit cause most of the time he orders food it's a woman who brings a food so it he basically did that on accident
He went to his kitchen to get some beer he had saving for just in case and then when to his living room and sat down and put on a movie that he won't enjoy in the end
When he finally finished his food, he checked the time it was close to being 7pm he didn't know what to do anymore he wished that he said yes to hang out but he didn't feel like going just because he hated going out
He took off the movie that was playing he was thinking of going to sleep early because he had nothing else to do
He got up and went to his room and just laid on his bed waiting until he fell asleep which happened but really slow

Sunday-
Xen woke up by his alarmed that he forgot to take off so that he would sleep more and not end wasting his life doing nothing but then he remembers that today him and his friends might hang out
Xen was getting ready so that when his friend was ready to hang out, he would already be ready and pick them up asap
He took a shower so that when he goes and picks up his friends, they don't end up telling him that he stinks
He was texting his friends a lot just to make sure if they actually want to don't want to hang out cause if they say no, he could just go by himself he didn't really mind a lot
Avery kept texting xen back fast but ren vanished from the group chat he hasn't opened it or texted back xen and Avery thought that he probably still asleep or something
So, Avery and xen planned to go just them and let ren rest or just not get in trouble and maybe hangout with them another day
Xen said they should go at maybe afternoon or when it starts getting nighttime cause at the time it when their favorite bartender works
Xen had some time to do anything he wanted till it was time and by that he wasted it by texting his tinder matches he always ghost them when they ask to hangout sometimes
He always hated that cause every time he agrees to hang out xen’s date don't end up showing up for no reason maybe because they think xen is someone really ugly
I mean I don't blame them because he doesn't show how he looks like well he only has a photo of how he looks like of course he wrote
“If you want to see how I look like now hang out with me cause I'm only dating people who like me for my personality”
And a lot of people always get curious but when they plan to hang out, they get scared that it will be a creepy old man, but it hurt xen that they don't say nothing they just make xen look like a dumbass waiting for someone who knows won't hang out
But then xen had the motivation to go to the plaza nearby and when he did go, he was just there to enjoy the air and just enjoy life while it last or a least until he stops enjoying it
He didn't know why he really felt to go out it felt nice he was thinking of doing this more often instead of going when his life is going down hill
And of course, he was looking at people walking their dogs he wishes he had a puppy so that he can love and actually have a reason to go outside instead of just wasting his time
Xen was closing his eyes so that he felt the air going straight to his face when he heard someone called his name “um excuse me are you xen?” was a young lady looking at him with the amazed shock on her face
“Umm yea do I know you?” said xen looking at her confused she laughed “it's me Angelina” she said while she was going to sit down next to xen
Xen than remember that before wanting to go to the plaza he texted this girl that he was going there that if she wanted, she could join him on a small walk
“Wow your prettier than I was expecting” he is looking at her in her eyes “and you are more handsome than I was expecting” Angelina said giggling
They both had a really nice walk and chat talking about themselves and how their life would be maybe in the future
Time flew by so fast that he didn't really notice until Avery texted him “um I have to go Angelina it was nice meeting you” xen said “where are you going maybe I can join you” she said when xen was about to walk away
“Um I'm really sorry I promised them that I would never make them feel like third wheel, but I'll definitely would love to go out sometimes” he said winking at her before he turned around and ran to his car
When he got to his car, he started it fast so that Avery doesn't think that he is ditching her which he would never do that in his entire life
Xen drove to Avery’s apartment and texted her that he was already here and then saw her getting out of her apartment
As he beeped his car so that she will see him and not end up getting lost and when she was walking to the car
“Hey mamacita” xen said when Avery opened the car door “hey daddy readying to drink” said Avery sitting down and closing the door
“You know it” xen said putting on some music Damn you know this is my jam” Avery said putting the volume a little louder
Xen was driving while Avery was talking about her love life and that she finally meets the right one this time, but everyone knows that's know how it goes
Xen liked to listen to her life it's like he is catching up to everything that is going on in the world, but every time Avery asks him what is new, he never knows how to reply
“Soo xen you already know what I done what about you anything new happened” Avery said looking at xen “um idk everything is the same, but I did bump into someone she was really nice” xen said embarrassed knowing what Avery was going to say next
“oOooo who is the lucky girl” Avery said getting super curious “it's just a girl who knows me from tinder she said she wanted to meet me because I was different than the other guys” xen said keeping his eyes at the road
“I mean it's true” Avery said looking away “what is that supposed to mean” xen said confused “well you are funny even i used to like you” Avery said laughing awkward
“Maybe even ren found you attractive and she didn't tell us” Avery said “you used to like me” xen said looking at her for a second “oh come on don’t act all hurt you already knew” Avery said hitting xen on the shoulder
“Yea your right I remembered having a panic attack when you said that” xen said laughing quietly so that Avery doesn't feel bad “oh yea you told me that” Avery said trying hard to remember
When it was quiet for a little while “why did you have a panic attack” Avery said with a concerned tone “ i always been curious about that” Avery said
“I don't know I was scared to lose my best friend because that's how a friendship ends, I guess” xen said looking at her to make sure she doesn't get sad
When they finally got to the bar it was empty as usually the way they liked it when they walked in, they said hi to their favorite bartender who was doing nothing
When they sat down at their favorite seat where they get to talk about people they hate and like drinking some beer not many so that they don't end up skipping classes tomorrow
Xen didn't drink much because he was driving but Avery drank until she couldn't no more but while laughing their asses off, they hear the bar door open
Xen saw who it was “shit Avery, Isaiah is here with his group” Avery turned around to see “fuck why out of all day they show up now” Avery said drinking from her drink
Xen didn't care much but he was with his friend and didn't want her to get hurt so h stayed a little quiet so that he wouldn't hear them
Avery didn't take that well she kept laughing loud making xen also laugh they just kept laughing at stupid things that were happening around them
When almost two hours past Isaiah and his group leave due to his girlfriend getting drunk easily Avery found it funny that they had to carry her
“Oh, shut up Avery I always have to carry you to the car” xen said making Avery laugh super hard they were just having fun
Then Avery just starts saying random stuff “hey remember when we were little, and we planned to move in together when we start are own life” Avery said taking a sip of her beer
“Yea when are you planning to move in with me and travel the whole world?” xen said looking at Avery “wow you also remember that part” Avery said surprised that xen actually remembers
“Of course, you made me right that in my note and tittle it “my future life” remember” xen said laughing at Avery “oh yea I did” Avery said
Xen was just listening to Avery talking about dumb things and he checked his phone, and it was already going to be 12 he got his wallet ready
“Alright Avery get your money out your helping pay” xen said already standing up “oh yea let me just get it” Avery said getting her wallet out of her bag
“Here you go my friend” Avery while xen took the money he was walking to the bartender “sorry if we were being loud again, we just couldn't control it” xen said giving him the money
“It's alright I usually get worse people than you guys so it nothing” the bartender said “okay have a nice day sir get home safe” xen said dragging Avery so that he doesn't have trouble opening the door
Xen was dragging Avery to the car he didn't have much trouble, but he usually has ren to help him, but it was fine
He was thankful he didn't drink much or else they would have gotten uber and he would leave his car where someone could steal it and he didn't want that
When he finally got to his car, he got Avery in the car carefully closing the door carefully as well and he got in the care and waited a little
“Jeez Avery don't you know how to not drink a lot” xen said while putting on some songs on the radio and put the volume low so that it won't bother Avery a lot
Xen drove to Avery's apartment he had to walk her to her room and take off her shoe so that she doesn't feel uncomfortable he got out of the apartment and locked the door
He got to his car he was already getting tired he shouldn't have run to the car he waited a little to catch his breath he put on some song that he liked
He drove to his apartment which for him was forever to get there it was like he was driving for hours maybe he drank a little too much than he usually does
He got to his apartment locked his car and got in his apartment he was close to just sleeping in his couch, but he wanted to sleep comfortable
He unlocked his room and went to the bathroom to take a quick shower so that he was fresh and clean when he went to sleep
When he finished, he laid down and just slept he was tired to do anything else he was just too tired all he was thinking about that he didn't want to go to classes tomorrow
Maybe he should skip the morning classes and just say that he didn't feel too well in the morning. He put his phone down before falling asleep
But he couldn't stop thinking about the girl she saw at the plaza she was gorgeous and kind she didn't even care how he would look like she went to know him
Maybe when he can he would ask her to hang out sometimes but only if she wants to he's not forcing anyone to date him but that girl was literally his dream girl someone he hoped to meet was standing right in front of him
Xen remembered her name perfectly “Angelina wow she gotta be a angle for sure” he said to himself thinking about where to take her if he does end up asking her out to hang out
But just thinking about all that stuff he felt more dizzy just thinking about love he really needs to learn about that maybe ask avery she really is good with the dating stuff
Cause she been in more relationship than him and her other friends but how would he ask who knows he should worry about this tomorrow and not when he is about to pass out
