Chapter 1: Brand New Toy
"So are you sure you'll be okay walking to the store to get your new toy?"
"It's not a toy mum!" Michael yelled from the living room, where he was situated in front of the tv playing Call of Duty.
"Well whatever it is Halo or something, are you sure you'll be okay?"
"Yeah mum it's like, a five minute walk I'll be fine," Michael rolled his eyes.
His mother was so protective of him, he was fifteen for gods sake! You'd think he could walk down to a gaming shop and buy a new video game by himself by now!
Michael had been saving up for this new Halo game for months now and with it being released tomorrow, he wanted to get in an out of the shop fast.
Michaels mother winked at him as she jingled her car keys and said, "well if you're sure. I'm just going down to get some groceries, you want anything?"
"I'll take a packet of crisps, thanks!" Michael called as she walked out the door, receiving a faint "if you clean up tonight" in return.
Michael peeked out of the window at his neighbors, as if just looking could inform him of what they hear.
Just him all alone playing video games could make them think a wild party or something was going on inside. But he was alone at last, time to own some noobs in the quiet of his own home.
"You mother fucker!"
Not quiet anymore.
