Wrong Number, Kid 《Completed》

Excuses

《Peter》
There was only one thought on my mind as I read the last text: fuck. Looking around the room for a good lie, I felt every muscle in my body tense up. Before I realized what I was doing my shaking fingers were typing an excuse.

A terrible one.

Peter
So, my aunt and I were playing a video game on my computer and we were both really fanatic

After I taught her how to play she won the game, and out of enthusiasm she threw her hands in the air, slapping me on my nose by accident

When she went to get me a tissue, I sneezed and the blood ended up on the wall

Mr. Old
....

Wow.

Mr. Steve
Even compared to Bird that's stupid.

Mr. Bird
Was that an insult?

Mr. Steve
Yes.

Mr. Little
I get it Peter, my kids and I are always hurting each other like that as well.

Mr. Wing
Is that why you came to the tower with a broken nose once?

Mr. Little
Which one? That happened four times.

Mr. Wing
Last time.

Mr. Little
Oh, yes.

Mr. Wing
Aahhh.

That makes sense.

I let out a nervous breath and couldn't help but grin at my achievement of convincing overprotective people with a terrible lie. I texted a quick goodbye to the group and put my phone away, wincing at the movement. Slowly standing up, I made my way to the bathroom. I ignored the black eye I got and the bruise that was forming in my left cheek, since that wasn't as important as my ribs.

I slowly pulled up my shirt and gasped at the sight of my limp body. A black bruise was forming around my ribs, and it seemed like a few were broken. I'll just have to eat and then it'll go away soon, I reassured myself. Sighing, I pulled down my shirt and splashed some water in my face.

Time skip because I'm too lazy to write the path to this moment

Peter
I will start with the internship today!!

I'm so scared I can scream

What should I do?!?!?

Miss. Pep
The first thing you need to do is breathe.

...

You done?

Peter
Yeah

I think I was breathing TOO MUCH, so it was really confusing

Miss. Nat
Well, the only thing you gotta do for the internship is be yourself.

That way, they all will love you.

Mr. Lightning McQueen
And of course you gotta stay for dinner this time, to make up for the last one.

Peter
But what if they don't want to anymore??
