EAT

[Sh4dE]

((Cedric Isaacson from RAVE))

"Yeah, mum!"

Cedric's eyes couldn't move away from the glowing screen in front of him.

"One minute, one second..."

"No, come down now!"

"Alright, alright. I just got to go to the bathroom first."

After pausing the game and turning off the music he went downstairs, washed his hands and went to dinner. Fantastic. Today Cedric got food. Delicious food. Like always. If Cedric was in a bad mood, he would've annoyedly asked if he could eat in his room in which his parents would've replied with a clear no. But today Cedric was not in a bad mood.

They talked.

They had a lot to talk about. Hugh and Virginia telling their son news about the theatre and Cedric exchanging information of his school doing. The usual.

Cedric held the plate carefully while washing it. Minutes later he held the railing as he glided upstairs. Then he held the mouse aggressively just like that was the case with most of his possessions when he used it.

Damn. It's dark outside already.

Damn. It's already dark outside.

Damn. It's late already.

He looked at his clock. His parents must be sleeping. He should go the fuck to sleep as well soon too.

Later. Shahin was still awake along with him.

He got hungry.

He took a bag of chips. Opened it. Took a potato chip.

And dropped it like it's bread.

Less annoyed about the dirtied floor he knew he would clean up on the weekend either way but more about the lost chip, he took another one and ate it.

His mouth felt dry and spicy so he took a sip of his energy drink to make himself feel better.

Shahin went to sleep. Cedric stayed along for half an hour longer before deciding to do the same.

Bollocks.

It's late. And he couldn't sleep.

But he had to. He really had to.

So he put himself into bed and stared at the boobs of Lara Croft that were imprinted on a poster he hung on his wall.

He looked back at the clock. Damn, how could he still be awake. School. He had to wake up early tomorrow.

And then he finally...

Zzz...

No.

Nightmare.

He couldn't.

He continued to wait.
