Chapter 7: Sky-High Soccer
Me and Mateo had been slinking out of the schoolyard, headed for the warehouse again, when one of the guys in our class grabbed our arms. “Wait.”
I quickly disentangled myself. “W’sup?”
“Shhh.” He said, and motioned us into the shadows.
We simultaneously folded our arms and stayed exactly where we were standing.
He sighed, and came back out of the shadows. With a quick, paranoid glance around, he leaned in CONspiratorially. “Gutterball. Meet at the base of that apartment skyscraper on el vaquero. Tell no one.”
And with that he slunk away.
I raised an eyebrow. “Wonder what’s that about?”
Mateo grinned. “We’ll find out soon enough.”
“What was that about?” Celeste appeared at my shoulder.
I jumped and flinched. I recovered myself and leaned nonchalantly on the wall. “Nothing.”
“Gutterball at the el vaquero apartment complex.” Mateo said, eyebrows dancing.
“Ya what bruh?” I slapped him. “What part of “tell no one” did you not understand?”
“He was talking about adults!” Mateo protested.
“How CON you possible infer that?” I practically screamed.
The whole hallway was staring at us.
I quickly switched to pidgin Japanese, something all gamers knew after a couple good samurai games. “You stupid.”
He shrugged. “You loud.”
I grabbed a handful of my hair and tugged in frustration. “You tell her everything!”
“You act like big fake around her.” He said.
She was looking at us both like we were from another planet.
No problem. After you do that, can I interest you in any of these fine hand crafted watches? *pulls up sleeve to show entire arm obscured with watches* Or maybe a fancy new hanky? *opens coat to show hundreds of handkerchiefs inside* Eh? All a great deal!
Nope, none. They're amateur CONpared to anvils, though!
Uh, heh heh, no.
Hmmm, you don't hear that usually. XD
Oh……well then maybe a spectacular almost brand new alarm clock? *opens other side of coat to show you the dozens of alarm clocks*
Yeah, the only thing you want to catch and you can't.
Then why did you ask!?!??! I went to the beach on sunday….so semi social.
That and polar bears.
Cause I always just tell people I'm an extrovert cause I just barely lean that direction. I'm debating on whether to be social this weekend or not...it seems like a lot of work.
Unless they're orphaned baby bears! :3
Oh…..*huffs* DO IT! It's easy for my to encourage others from behind my computer. XD
Lol, live on the edge Con! Nooo…… I just tend to believe the best of most people. Often to my disadvantage, you did fine.
*builds house on the brink of the grand canyon* Well, good, cause you're gonna need to if you're gonna tolerate the story "me."
Well now I guess you technically are more edgy than me. I can be quite tolerant when I want to be. Strangely enough I don't think I have ever met a guy yet that didn't eventually get around to being okay with me. But girls….. *shudders*
Hmm, well, the fifteen blahs at the 2 minutes 53 second mark indicated that it was your responsibility to at the very least post responses to my responses. So it's not quite all on me.

They're still tough to catch, CONsidering the fact you have to go to the Arctic to get 'em.
*puffs* True dat. It's really easy to procrastinate from back here too...

Yay me. I'm gonna move back to Missouri now. I slept better there. Hmmm....I think I'm okay with everybody. I literally CON think of nobody besides my Mom that I'm on kind of bad terms with.

I actually do have moar written up, but for lack of any real thought-process on what I wrote on those parts, I'm gonna save 'em till I CON scrutinize them better and make sure they're what I want written.

Good choice, I've heard the Grand Canyon's edges are dangerous all the time this year. Did you? Interesting.... Oops, moms are not fun people to be at odds with. Especially dangerous if they are the cooks. Well, surely things will be ironed out in due time.
