POV: Narrator


Seth leans up from his bed. It was 11:28 in the morning. His dad is out with some of his buddies and his mother went out to meet with with his sister. He was also invited but he denied for no real reason.

He hops out of bed and heads downstairs. He gets out two eggs and puts them next to a pan. He lets the pan heat up and then cracks the egg on top of it and starts to make himself scrambled eggs.

While cooking the eggs, he gets out bread and puts it in the toaster. After a couple of minutes, everything was done and he puts it all on a plate. He brings it upstairs and puts it on the table in the middle of his room. After looking at it, he rushes back down the steps to get himself a glass of OJ.

Finally he sits down and turns on a show.

Seth: Man I love being home alone.

*Notification*

Seth looks at his phone to see a text that says, "I'm 10 minutes away, be there soon!"

Seth: . . . . . . . . . . WHHHAAATTTT!!!!!

He scarfs down his food and drink and quickly gets changed. After that he grabs his plate and glass and just jumps down the stairs to put them in the dishwasher.

Seth: Fuck fuck fuck why did I tell that girl yes to this!!! My parents aren't even home to kick her out after a certain amount of time!!!

He runs to the front room and sits down.

Seth: Now I have to wait.

Eight minutes later, there was a knock at the door. Seth gets up and looks through the window to see Emma. He opens it.

Seth: Hey.

Emma: Hi, thanks for having me!

Seth: Yeah it's nothing.

He moves to the side to let her in. She walks in and slips her shoes off by the door.

Emma: You have a nice house.

Seth: Um, thanks.

Seth Thinking: Come on girl, let's just get this over with. There's a new episode out and I want to see it!!!!!

Seth: Here, we can work in here.

They walk in the kitchen and she looks around.

Seth: Um, something wrong?

Emma: No! No it's nothing. I just, never go over other people's houses, especially a boy's.

Seth: OH, well you're the fifth person that has come here. Not like I have people come here often. That's the main reason why we aren't working in my room. It's a real mess right now.

Seth Thinking: Plus I have all my posters/manga.

Emma: Oh it's fine, my room can't be any better.

Seth: Excuse me, I have to get my laptop.

Emma: Ok!

Seth goes up the stairs and runs around his room. He quickly turns off the TV and goes around looking for where he left his laptop.

Back downstairs, Emma looks around in the kitchen.

Emma Thinking: Hmm, it's a normal kitchen. I'm not sure what to say now that I'm here. I've never been alone with a boy before, and it doesn't help that his parents aren't here! I just need to stay calm- ah, is that his laptop? It's already down here. I should tell him!

Emma walks to where she saw Seth go up. She turns to see a stairwell going up.

Emma: Seth!! Seth!!! He must not hear me. Sorry for intruding!
