(Click the mute button to mute, click again to unmute) I sit on the dock, thinking. Sometimes I feel like Joey isn’t honest with me. I’ve never met any of his other friends, and I know he has some. He talks about Amy and Kira. I wonder what they’re like. Hopefully nice people. Joey only deserves the best. I check my watch, and see it’s about 6:30. Sheesh, time goes by fast when you’re wondering if your friend is holding secrets from you. I stand up and start to head back to my house. I arrive, greet my parents, and reach for a popsicle in the freezer. “Nuh-uh.” My mom says disapprovingly. I sigh. “Fine.” I reply, starting to close the freezer. She stops me from closing it. “You need dinner first!” She says, pulling out a frozen pizza. “Mmkay.” I walk over to the dining table where my dad’s been fiddling around with a Rubik’s Cube. I sit down next to him. “Dad, you know it’s probably impossible to solve that without algorithms.” I comment. “Algorithm-shmalgorithm.” He replies in a joking snarky tone, turning random sides of the cube. I motion for him to give it to me. He sighs and hands over the brightly colored cube puzzle. I fiddle with it, doing specific movements for each layer, and after a minute and a half, the puzzle is solved. “You aren’t a Rubik’s Cube purist, Marky. You watched YouTube to learn this. Real men figure it out with their brains.” He says jokingly. I snicker quietly. It was really funny but I don’t want him to know I thought that. “Din-ner!” My mom sings. I get up from the table and grab my plate of pepperoni pizza and carrots on the side. I crunch some carrots and eat my 3 slices of pizza. Nothing like a good ol’ pizza meal to distract your mind from other things going on. I thank my mom for dinner and head up to my room. My door has a little sign that says “KEEP OUT” on it, just cause I thought it was funny. Also cause it makes me feel like I have a younger sibling. I don’t, but I want one. Real bad. I flop on my bed and scroll through iMessage. Joey texts me a image of a new high score on his video game. I ignore it. I love Joey, but something’s up, and I don’t want to deal with it.
