Ponder…that’s like…a really fascinating word. Pon-der. Pawn-durrr. Puh. Ahn. Der.
Seth thought it was a really funny word. Kind of like cheese or bamboozle and definitely guacamole. One mustn’t forget The Guac. (Yes. Capitalized letters and all.) The Holy ‘Moley as Seth especially liked to say. Pure genius, that was. Anyway, it was also kind of ironic because that was exactly what he was doing. Pondering, that is.
After the obligatory Family Dinner, Seth was supposed to follow Ryan to the poolhouse whereby they would engage in a little GTA, maybe even a little Final Fantasy if Ryan was willing and daring. But noooo. Marissa had dropped by "unexpectedly" to "talk" to Ryan, effectively ruining what he liked to call their "Seth and Ryan time."
Psh. Riiight. More like mackin’ on his friend. And, and like slobbering and drooling all over the place. Hmmph. Gross.
Seth never used to see her so much. Now, she was everywhere, no joke. She’s at the Torture Center Hell Hole of Misery and Humiliation! (aka Harbor and yeah, the exclamation point is necessary), the pier, the Crab Shack, the poolhouse, his home, the poolhouse…and, and the POOLHOUSE which is where she currently is! As usual.
"You know, Captain Oats, we've lived next door to her for how long now? And as soon as Ryan's in town, I've seen more of her than I have my whole life." Seth sighed, annoyed. "Coincidence? I think not. Now that I have somebody to hang out with, she’s hanging all over him like Newpsies on galas."
He ran a finger down the plastic muzzle, gently caressing the head. Even now, Captain Oats brought comfort as Seth felt a little of his annoyance fade away.
"It’s just so unfair. I mean, Ryan’s my friend. He’s my first friend and I was his first friend here. Just because they technically met each other first doesn’t mean anything." He reassured himself.
Seth checked the clock on the nightstand by his bed. It’s been nearly an hour since he left the two alone. Surely, they would be done making out or whatever by now, right? He really hoped that it hadn’t gone further than that…cause that would just be reckless behavior, that’s what it would be. The Kirsten would not be too happy to walk in on such things.
Maybe he should go down to warn them. Yes, yes he should. He sighed, the things he did for that guy. He was such an awesome friend. He smiled and nodded decisively, wondering what he could get Ryan to do for him in return for his awesome-like awesomeness.
SOOO? What do ya'll think? I found this yesterday in my hard drive and...I dunno. I really like it and I'm really proud of it but it ends abruptly because I kinda forgot about it until just now..I'd like to continue writing it but I don't have any inspiration atm. It's just kinda sad to see something started but never finished. :/ And this was written at the height of my OC fan-ishism/love/crazyoverload. LOL.
Enjoy? :D Feedback would be lovely, I have to admit. If not, just send happy waves in my direction, please.
