Friends – part 1

 

Today is December 21,2019
And this is the first time throughout the year that it snowed and what do I do?
I go ahead and die from skidding, now my goal in life is to ruin everyone’s Christmas before the 25
*the movie ends*
I look at the club and they are just looking at my stupid movie with blank faces, a guy in the back screams
“Play it again”
Then I see everyone cringe, and I realize I messed up by making a horrible commercial….
The advisor claps her hands to get everyone’s attention and says
“So… Who is going to play their movie proposal next?”
Tom walks up, and puts his flash drive into the projector and the scene opens up, and everyone is watching it.
I sit in the back thinking
“I could probably do better next time, I just need to make a drama since that seems to be what everyone in this club wants to make”
Then the movie proposal plays
*a boy wakes up*
He was in a coma for three years and he looks at the calendar and sees that today is Christmas, he looks out the window and the lights are glimmering, he is astonished by the view and when he turns around there’s a girl waiting for him,
Everyone in the club is really interested, that is until the lights go out in the movie and comes back on but the girl is screaming in his face.
Everyone in the club screams, and then Tom starts laughing
JADE Is angry saying “you should’ve just left the opening without the girl killing the mc in the intro”
Then Carla argues
“This looks like it would be fun to work on, I mean look at it this is awesome!”
The club gets into an argument and I cringe this time because it was so much better than my movie idea, my friend latasha tries to cheer me up saying
“Its okay miguel, i liked your movie maybe you just need to emphasis the character development and maybe not make his reason to ruin Christmas so unclear”
This isn’t helping, but I think I know what she means, kinda…
Everyone plays their movie ideas, but we seem to be on a giant disagreement and accomplished nothing at the end of the meeting….
I walk back home and Tom follows me
“Hey miguel!”
I look back at him
“Egh?”
Then he gets excited and says
“Lets work on a better story, with your comedy and my dramatism we could make a good story”
This got me angry because I wasn’t aiming for a comedy, but maybe it we work on a story then maybe we could convince everyone to agree on it.
“I’m in!”
We end up in my house and I take him to my room, I start up my playlist
And then *thisj bos -Alice*
Plays and we look at each other bobbing our heads to the music with a smile on our face.
“So Miguel? Should we combine our stories and see what we end up with?”
I wanted to disagree but I thought we could make something new with this…
We start to write but it’s impossible, there is no way we could have the character die and then have the monster girl…
*Wait*
I tell him
“What if the main character is getting ready to spend Christmas with the girl and confesses on the 21st day of December, but gets rejected and then it begins to snow for the first time when he is driving home and he gets in an accident, wakes up three years later and during the time he was knocked out the girl felt bad for rejecting him and had a feeling he would wake up today so she was waiting for him, and he doesn’t look at the calendar but thinks it is still 2015 and the commercial ends?”
Tom smiles at me and then tells me
“No”
We continue to work through the night, and I was surprised to realize how hard we are working, together instead of messing around, we keep working on a different story and ended up with such an amazing piece of art from scratch….
Tom fell asleep on my desk with a pen on his hand and I fell asleep on my bed with the comic strips to visualize the scenes and we were pooped at 10:00 Sunday morning spending two nights working on my …I mean our scripts.
Tom’s bushy hair and cat drawing on his face that I drew before he woke up cracked me up, because he had an afro and looked like a car but he started laughing harder at the mustache and eyebrows he drew on me and I get mad asking
“What!”
We walk outside my room to get some fresh air and head to the kitchen and warmed up a box of digiorno…
I take the pizza to Tom and say
“Its not delivery”
Then Tom smiles and says
“Its digiorno”
We smack each other’s hands and then grab a slice and begin to watch anime, he heads to the restroom when we start up the third episode of Baka to test, and his phone started to ding a lot! I get annoyed and look at the bathroom, then shuffle closer to his phone to read his messages and then I notice he has like 50 unread texts and 10 missed calls all from girls and I get jealous
“This guy needs to suffer”
I delete all the messages and he walks out and see me with his phone
“Hey what are you doing miguel!?”
He grabs his phone and sees I deleted his messages…
Then gives me a cocky come back saying
“Its okay, now I have as much as you”
I feel depressed because he is right…
But we end up having a good time amyways, because we are never able to hold a grudge with each other..
My phone rings and we both look at it, he runs over to grab it but I hold his legs and he falls which was the perfect opportunity to crawl over him and grab my phone.
I dash towards my room and lock the door and I read it
“Hey Miguel, are you free right now?”
What! I look at it and wonder
“Who’s number is this?”
It just shows the number and not the name…
While at the same time, Tom was outside my room and latasha was laying on her bed anxiously looking at her phone…..
