Chapter 3: Blank Slate

*Chris's POV*

When I got home that afternoon, I walked in the front door. "Hey Mom," I called.

"Oh, hey honey." My mom called from the kitchen.

I dumped my book bag on the steps to the second floor and walked into the kitchen.

"How was your day?" she asked, wiping off the counter.

"Good." I said, washing my hands, taking an apple and sitting down with it.

"Make any friends?"

"Yeah, a couple" I thought of Brittany and all her friends that had welcomed me into their group. I smiled.

"That's great." My mom looked over at me "You seem happy. What is it?"

"So it's a crime to be happy? I had a good day that's all."

"I'm glad you're happy. Do you have homework?"

"Some."

"Then you better get it done. You want to start out fresh, okay?"

"Sure." I started walking towards the steps, but I thought of something and called into the kitchen, "I think I might try out for the tennis team. Is that alright?"

My mom looked surprised. "You haven't played in a long time."

"I know, but, now I have friends on a team."

"I'm not stopping you, If that's what you want, go ahead." she smiled

"Sweet, thanks. And I'm gonna hang out with some friends later on...is that alright?" I asked.

"Sure, Christofer. As long as you do your homework and don't get into trouble." she gave me a knowing look.

"I won't, I promise." I walked upstairs to do my homework. My cell phone vibrated in my pocket:

New Txt Msg:

BrittanyIsSoMuchCoolerThanYouWishYouCouldBe:

Hey darlin'! Are we still gonna hang out 2nite?

I laughed and texted back:

Fur Shur!

He response came a moment later

BrittanyIsSoMuchCoolerThanYouWishYouCouldBe:

See you then, sweetie!

I smiled to myself and got back to my homework.

Short, I know. But I will be hopefully double posting tonight- OMG! lol. I just wanted to make sure I was posting something for you guys. If not, then definitely a chap later tomorrow. This week has been busy.

I changed the font b/c I just didn't like it Arial...haha

Something to point out about this story is that I've decided this is the piont in Christofer's life where he was pretty unhappy until now, since he's meeting all these people who accept him and he starts to become himself again... :)

I've been listening to Kid Cudi's amazing-tastic new song with Ratatat and MGMT...

Listen to it, I swear. It's great and I usually hate rap. The lyrics are great and the sound of it is just...really cool and twisted sounding... I don't know how to describe it. Just listen to it and drop me a note or send me a message or whatever telling me what you think about the song...and the chapter of course.

Comment, Buzz, Exc...
