Fan Fiction ❯ Meet The Friends ❯ Epesode 4: Bored days off ( Chapter 4 )
Terrin hung half way over the railing around the balcony that was outside his window. This balcony was actually a fire escape that was outside everyone's windows. He was bored. It was a Thursday, and he didn't have to work. Luckily, his job was pretty loose, so he only had to go every other day, unless there was something wrong with the computers and equipment.
"Bored?"
Terrin turned and saw Pagasis climb his window.
"Sorry..." he shrugged. "I don't have to be in until three today. I heard that you had the day off so I was just seeing what you were up to."
"Nothing really." Terrin sighed. "There's a group of pigeons sitting on that bill-board sign next to that gas station over there. They're crapping on people's heads. It's kind of funny."
Pagasis leaned on the rail too and watched. The paper was peeled off the bill-board sign, making it easy to see about thirty pigeons sitting on the beam holding it up. Cars pulled in and out of the Zephyr gas station underneath it. One lady walked out with a brown paper bag. She strode out to her car with a stuttering walk. She dug her keys out of her purse and when she was twisting the key in the lock, she looked at her shoulder and found a surprise there. When she looked up, a pigeon, with a mocking coo sound, pooped right on her face.
Terrin and Pagasis busted out laughing. Both were having trouble hanging onto the railing.
"That was frickin funny!" Terrin laughed.
"Dude, that was awesome!" Pagasis choked. He was laughing so hard he was having trouble swallowing his own saliva. He drooled a little, making Tarrin laugh even harder. They both then started laughing because the other was laughing.
"You look like your constipated." Pagasis said to Terrin when the finally were standing back up.
"Man, you look like you're rabid. Frik'in drooling everywhere!"
"I see why you like it out here." Pagasis said. "I just thought you were anti-social or something."
"Na..." Terrin said as he faced him. "I'm just bored. I thought I was the only one around."
"What about Dracos and Torrik?"
"They're asleep. They do work nights after all." Terrin said. "Did Esthenia find something yet?"
"She's out looking today." Pagasis replied. "I just hope it isn't something kinky..."
"What's wrong with that?" Terrin grinned.
"Well... Nothing actually..." Pagasis chuckled. "Except for the fact that she'd bring her "clients" home daily..."
Terrin cringed.
"Yeah, you have a point there." he said. "So, what do you do?"
"Well... I know a thing or two about computers." Pagasis replied. "I work at that computer sore... they sell a bunch of Dell and HP stuff. I help out a little... What about you?"
"I work with computers too." Terrin said. "We're at an old were house across the city. We create computer software and even have our own web site called Deviantart. They call me Jark Jr. I'm second of many."
"Jark Jr?" Pagasis questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"Inside story."
"Got ya."
"So, Umie tells me that you all knew each other in highschool." Terrin said. "I wonder if I was there..."
"I'm not sure." Pagasis said. "I didn't know it until Esthenia told me."
"So, when did you and Esthenia hook up?"
"Well... I didn't really know her until the seventh grade." Pagasis replied as he sighed and leaned on the railing. "She wasn't doing so well... She didn't get along with anyone and nobody wanted to hang out with her. She looked lonely and upset at times. So one day, I just came to her and asked if she wanted to hang out with me. Ever since then, we've been close. I've even considered asking her out a couple times... but she's so much like a sister to me..."
"I see what you mean..." Terrin replied. "Kind of reminds me of somebody I know."
"So, what about you?" Pagasis asked. "How long have you lived here for?"
"A couple years." Terrin said. "I went to college for computer graphics then moved here to find work. My resume was pretty handy."
"That's always a bonus." Pagasis said.
"Man... you two can talk loud."
They looked at the window and saw Torrik's head hanging out of it.
"Sorry." Pagasis said. "Did we wake you up?"
"No..." Torrik said as he crawled out of the window and joined them. He had a very sleepy look on his face. "Dracos' snoring did the trick. The door was unlocked so I let myself in to come out here. I'm sure you don't mind."
"I kind of see that." Pagasis said. "Seeing as how you did come through my window."
"Aren't we a genius..." Torrik yawned as he leaned over the railing too. "Oh look.. Some old guy got crapped on."
Pagasis and Terrin started laughing again.
"So is this what you two do all day?" Torrik asked. "And I thought I was lazy."
"It's better than sleeping..." Tarrin said.
"Not really." Torrik said. "I use a lot of muscles while sleeping. My lungs while breathing... my mouth sometimes opens and I drool all over my pillow..."
"Your hands..." Terrin said.
Pagasis snorted.
"Only when I think of your mother." Torrik said cooly.
"That's just wrong." Terrin said.
"It depends." Pagasis said. "How old is your mother?"
"Drop it!"
"Is she tall?"
"What?"
"With a tight ass?"
"Shut up!"
"Look..." Pagasis said as he leaned over the railing again. "Someone else is going to get creamed! She's walking under the sign."
Terrin released Torrik's neck and both stared down as a tall brown haired girl in a pair of blue jeans and blue jacket walked under the bill-board sign. She stopped to open the bottle of Pop she just bought and one of the pigeons pooped right on her forehead.
All three boys begin to laugh uncontrollably.
"Hey look... I think she heard us..." Terrin said as he pointed at her. "See, she's looking at us."
"She looks awfully familiar..." Pagasis said as he stopped laughing. "She looks kind of like..."
"Shit!" Terrin exclaimed as he bolted through the window as the girl came running up to them shouting angry words. Pagasis followed him.
Torrik stayed there until the girl reached the building. He leaned down.
"I could throw you a paper towel if you want..." he called down to her.
"You bastard!" Esthenia shouted up to him with a raised fist. "I'll throw something at you!"
"Well..." Torrik sighed. "If you want to try it there's probably a good size rock in that gutter over there. Maybe I'll duck and it'll fly through the window and you can hit the two who are laughing hysterically in the room behind me."
An empty Mountain Dew bottle bounced off his head.
"Or that could work..."
