At thirteen, my friends and me always hung out after school. We’d play video games or try to skate board(even though we weren’t that very good). Most of the time, on Fridays, we would go hang out at someones house and sleepover. It was a normal thing to do, stay up all night or try to, and just play video games or watch Jackass. 

Joe gave me a call that Friday night, “Hey Alex, you wanna come on over? Me and Nick are going to have a sleep over you in?” “Yeah man, sure, what time you want me over?” I replied. “Uh 9ish I guess,” he said. “Alright, see you then.” I hung up the phone. I finished up my homework and soon enough 8:30 came around and I started getting ready to leave. I grabbed my pillow case full of stuff and rode down the road on my bike. 

I drop my bike off on the side of his garage and came to the front door. I knocked on the door and Joes little sister Nikki came to the door. She was 6 years old and petite looking. Nikki was about 4’1″ and skinny. “Hey Alex, everyone is in the basement.” She smiled and ran upstairs in her pajamas. 

I walked down into the basement and through my stuff down in the corner,”What’s up guys?” “nothing much Alex,” Nick said moving over on the couch so I could sit down. “Joe is upstairs, here,” He handed me the controller,”I’m playing Super Smash Brothers Brawl.” Footsteps came down the stair case, “Is Alex here yet?….oh hey man. How are you?” Joe said. “Good. Let’s play some games man.” 

Before we knew it was almost 12’O Clock and Joe fell asleep.
