Slice of Life: Lunch-Boxed

Slice of Life

Lunch-Boxed!

Okay, firstly I want to say that I know that I didn’t have to write this but I was bored and so I thought, ‘what the heck?’ and here I am…even though I know only one person will ever read this.

I think I need to set the scene a little bit before I begin the actual story. For those of you that don’t already know Mehr is super bipolar. That plays an important role in the story so keep that in mind. Also I don’t know how to spell J’s name so I’m spelling it as the letter J.

(This is not the actual story, this is the prelude…if that’s the right word.) It was six thirty at night and Jacob was sitting on my couch as I typed up my Wordly Wise Wednesday thing. We were home alone, except for my eleven-year-old brother. Earlier that night we went swimming with Mehr and J and they were both nice. (That was soon to change…well, kind of one turned mean the other remained nice). Anyways, as we left the pool Mehr said, “Hey, if you want later you can come to my house.”

We then went upstairs and I did my homework. At six thirty I asked Jacob to BBM Mehr to see if we could go to her house. The answer was, “Later.” We mindlessly stared at the view from the balcony for about ten minutes when we then asked again: “Can we come over now?” The answer was: “No! Leave us alone.” We both laughed at the message. “Mood swings.” I remarked.

Ten minutes later we sent the same message: “Can we come over?” Our question was answered by: “No, leave us alone or I will delete you from my contacts.”

“Oh-no!” I laughed, “Not deleted! Could there be anything worse?” We both laughed and then decided to leave them alone. We opened up my laptop and started playing a game about being a giant worm and eating things. About half-an-hour later Jacobs blackberry vibrated. “You’ve got mail.” I said.

We both looked at the screen. It was message from Mehr. Saying ‘hey’. “Typical bipolarness (yes I know that’s not a word.). What did you expect?” I asked Jacob. So Jacob nicely responded ‘hi’ back. They started talking and about five minutes later a message came through saying, “I told you to leave us alone! I’m deleting you now!”

“What the hell!?” Jacob said to himself.

“It was probably J.” I guessed. How dare she be nice like that! The nerve of that girl.” I laughed.

Anyways, we both went to sleep at around half ten. We were awoken by my alarm clock’s beep that I stupidly set for five forty-five even though I didn’t need to be up until six. I could probably wake up at six thirty and still be down for the bus for six forty five. But whatever, we were up now. We got dressed, Jacob borrowed one of my shirts- which by the end of the day was stained by food, had a bowl of mini-wheats each for breakfast collected our things and went downstairs.

About five minutes later Mehr and J came downstairs. Mehr was still in a bad mood, I was surprised that her mood hadn’t swung yet. (Zing!) J was still nice though. We then played a stupid game with the seventh graders Marc and Anthony in which you throw a ball in the air then throw it at someone.

Anyways we got on the bus and Jacob and I were asking J about what happened last night, not wanting to talk to Mehr because she would probably bite me. (Yes I know, how weird is that?) Apparently J was bitten too. Anyways- just out of the blue Mehr decided to hit me over the head with her ‘handy-dandy’ lunchbox as she likes to call it.

“Why did you just lunch box me?” I asked.

“Yeah, why did you lunch box him?” Jacob added.

“Shut up Jacob! You’re lucky I didn’t do anything to you!” Mehr shouted.

“Yeah, you dodged a bullet with that one…you nearly got the box.” I laughed.

“Hey, if you don’t be quiet I’m gonna tell Mrs. Sosa or Mrs. Tuchi about you so I recommend shutting up!”

“What are you going to tell them. ‘Max asked if he could come to my house so I ‘lunch-boxed’ him?”

That shut her up. Mission Accomplished I thought to myself. Before anybody reading this says it, yes I do know this story was almost as boring as the movie ‘Valentines Day’. I really HATED that movie! RAWR!!!
