Going shopping...

Chapter Three

Going shopping...

Now back at home, am exhausted from the day's activities of school, Just wanna sleep and be left alone

"Jimmy, you back?"

'Argggg.…' must be my mom calling, 'not gonna answer her for now so she thinks am not yet home, I really need to rest after how the day went today'

"jimmy?!" I could hear her climbing up the stairs, then back down, she must have probably given up the search confirming on her mind that I was not around yet

"Thank God.…" I sighed, not in need of disturbance this period, got a lot to think about at the moment, I picked up my phone from the bed

Turn on

°Ronald ^ Nice team work back there, thanks for the rescue - - - 11:30am

°Ronald ^ Gonna look through the video and see how good I am at racking the drive up :) - - - 11:41am

I sighed on seeing this, I knew Ronald was a bad influence but I guess I didn't really care enough to rethink my alternatives

Scroll down to see the others

° Franklyn ^ Hi bro, am getting the electromagnetic feedback on the alternate circuit in the background reading - - - 12:01am

° Franklyn ^ Note: it a slight gap but it's show a potential of what we are looking for - - - 12:01am

° Franklyn ^ call me when you get back - - - 1:35am

° Franklyn ^ would be in the garage working incase you reach here later on - - - 2:10am

Damn, so like Franklyn, got to reply him immediately, was just too exhausted with everything happening today that I have not looked through my phone since this morning

"Shit, it's already 3pm" I sighed on seeing the time on the wall, Franklyn must have been expecting me for a while now.

No other new messages, should replay Ronald and franklyn before going downstairs and revealing myself to my mom, already getting hungry over here

° Me ^ to ° Brendith ^ Good for you on covering your tracks on the video tape, though I advise you as a friend to not repeat such an act nor involved me with it next time

° Me ^ to ° Franklyn^ That's a really good news, finally we are progressing

° Me ^ to ° Franklyn ^ Just make sure that that the opti-motion sensor is kept at the constant factor 6.41ghz/0.6flz

° Me ^ to ° Franklyn ^ Not really feeling good today, so I may not reach the lab today

I normally call his garage our laboratory where me and Franklyn work on our project

° Me ^ to ° Franklyn ^ Would do a little analysis on the data and send you my results on it

'seems like prillena haven't yet seen my message yet, she must be having a fault on her phone like before, but she told me she was going to fix it over the weekend'

Dropped my phone back on the bed and prepare to go downstairs, 'Ok done, with the virtual world for now' or not *heads back to the bed where the phone was -turn around again- 'probably best I leave it be'

"Hey mom…."

I said aloud as I came back downstairs "how's it going"--hopefully there is something ready to eat

"Jimmy…, you almost scared me there, I thought you were not back yet"

"Where have you been since I was calling, keeping me silent again?, Your father is gone, we only have eachother so don't lock me out, tell me what's going on with you"

Me standing there, not understanding why my mom have started her normal preaching, must be the expression I had on my face.… Damn

"Mom?…., Am just hungry here, why the long talk, also tired from the school activities"

"OH, but you look so sad and depressed Jimmy" she moved up to me, holding my hand up to examine me

"taken your shower?"

"Not yet, going to have a little stroll before I do that" I said as i held my ear piece up to plug into my ear as I waited move out

"Ok, the food isn't ready yet, but by the time you get back... it will be"

"And jimmy.… help me get some items from the store for me on your way back home" she handed me a list with some cash as I head out

"Ok mom" I took the list am to use to gett the stuffs and the cash and went out the door

Listening to my music with both my earpiece stuck in my ears, I made sure I kept my walking to the side walk using my eyes as I couldn't hear any sound coming from outside except my loud music

Shocked as I stopped in my tracks "Vrooommmmm… ooomm" two sport cars just zoomed past me, drifting at the turn I was just about to pass that it made it looked like the side of one of the car was coming to hit me, and in a split second it was gone

'Damn that's scared the shit out of me' my mind burst in annoyance that I could not share with anyone

Not the drivers who were now long gone nor a fellow passer-by as the roads were a bit less busy at the time of the day

The two cars were probably in a street race, and it was highly likely that they were some of the overly boisterous teens from the next neighborhood not far from ours, where the rich family with their luxurious houses and cars stays at

On reaching the groceries store, which was just after the gas station at the end of our neighborhood, I put off my ear piece out of my ears as I began going through the list my mom had given me for the shopping

"Ok", I said to myself as I walked down the aisle "this would take no time"

On turning on the next row to go get the pasta from its section, "Oh shit" I quickly withdrew myself to intersecting row I had come out from

'Damn, what is Miranda doing here' my mind rang, seeing a longtime crush in the groceries store when not prepared can send one into a frenzy
