* * * *

What's this feeling? The feeling of just waking up, not understanding anything of any importance whatsoever? I am shrouded in literal stress because of the excessive amount of assignments I was given. Because of the mistake, I chose by attending an online university. My room is a mess, and I nearly have no friends, I'm living with my parents, and my grades are below average.

Well, just because all of that is surrounding me, doesn't mean I can go back to the internet and talk in the chat rooms completely ignoring everything. Screw the work, it's due Friday anyway!

I quickly got up from the rough comfort of my mildly dirty bed and immediately sat on my spinning chair. Jet black, just the way I like it. The only thing that I actually cared about was the screen of my powerful and clean laptop. My parents denied me purchasing a PC so I was stuck with this piece of junk. My hair was an absolute dumpster fire, and I nearly had three hours of sleep, yikes. The laptop was shut and its glossy surfaces really appealed to my eyes.

But, it was also pitch black in my room. Quiet too, did I really sleep that late? Shit. My strong fan was blasting at full speed because I couldn't sleep with warmth, I just couldn't, it was unbearable. Just the feeling of sweat draining over your skin would make a person literally bleed out their insides. I took a deep sigh and slowly opened my laptop. The shiny surface of the black mirror, the dry but fluid texture of the keyboard, I loved it a lot. My laptop finally opened, after what felt like thirty years, heh.

"Oh shit."

I realized that my opening screen revealed an almost nude illustration of a cute girl laying over a grass hill. A beautiful pink blanket, with long glistening white hair. So cute, so freaking cute.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I jerk off to this image literally twice a day, I have a whole folder dedicated to these lewd illustrations! So worth the hard-earned money I paid, in all fucking honesty. Just the smooth legs and the curves, getting blocked by the stupid password box. Damn it, I should have placed that into my wallpaper instead. Oh well, my parents already think I'm a disappointment anyway.

I placed my fingers over the solid keyboard of the laptop. My password box has yet another cute cartoon girl, with long white hair and glistening purple eyes. I have watched literally thousands of these animated shows last year. Nothing new or impressive really gets released at this time. What a shame, I bore myself with watching cute animated girls dancing on a screen for twenty-five minutes, instead of doing my damn schoolwork. Damn it! Why can't I focus?

Why is the sun so bright too? Literally blinds my damn eyes. I quickly shut the curtain and it darkened the room. Yes, finally a soothing atmosphere. Now, lets just get into my laptop right? I assume my parents are not home as well.

"Alright, here goes nothing."

The white text box on my screen slowly fills with black characters. Revealing, my badass username. "XxNextLevel1999xX." Wow, such a cool username, not. I think I got bullied when it was revealed that I had this username. So stupid and wacky. And I am stuck with it. I forgot the damn password to change it. Alright, now to just type in my passwords. My white text box that was laying over the grey background quickly fills with dark black circles.

You know my password has to be "04121999" If you know, you know. You can try to arrange the date placement, but that is obviously my birthday. Wow, the brightness is bright and OH looks like a surprise. I am greeted with three hundred fucking notifications near the right side of my screen.

"Go away!"

I dragged my mouse that was connected to the laptop and clicked the button, "clear all".

"There you go, now all the notifications are gone. Yay."

Yes, time to go on the internet and finally open my chat rooms. The application for the chat room doesn't work anyways, maybe because of the lazy ass developers that don't take the time and effort to fix the issue. My laptop wasn't as powerful as I thought. It couldn't support full, first-person multiplayer games. Well, Likitten was a mistake. It's been like, nine months and they still didn't fix it. Disappointments. No, my search bar is revealed. This long white block appeared and revealed everything, glad I was alone or else, I would be slapped straight in the head.

I glared at the words that spanned across the white block. "How to get free coins on sniperletsgo.net?" Wow, I actually tried to get free coins? What was I thinking yesterday?

"Cute cartoon girls laying next to each other."

Nope! Get away from my screen. Shit, there's more.

"Cute cat girls."

"Cute cat girls laying next to each other."

"Cute cat girls licking each other."

"Cute cat girls nuzzling on a cat boy."

"Cute white-haired catgirls."

No, no-no. Crap, go away!

I don't want my parents to see all that crap, yikes. Now, let's just get onto my chatroom website and finally talk to my friends. I quickly typed the website address on the white bar and clicked the search button. My screen was filled with links and descriptions. Obviously, it has to be the first one so I clicked on it. No need for a login, I'm just an epic gamer like that. A message with a small white sad face appeared at the center of my screen.

"What?!"

I couldn't believe my eyes. I couldn't believe what I'm seeing. You have got to be f**ing kidding me.

"Due to your previous actions, you have been banned from https://Likitten.com/sign/10110129412"

Dude, I had so many friends on that app. Literally, everything I do is go and share the same shit, and now they're saying I'm getting banned?! What the hell did I do? Wait a minute. Oh yeah, I posted an extremely offensive image on that one chat room the other night. And damn, it was the cat girl chat room. What a horrible life I live in. Whelp, I guess I should just not even go on my laptop. Because the chatroom is literally my gaming hub, and it got taken away from me.

I slammed the laptop shut and felt a tiny feeling. A feeling that I couldn't take. I ran through the many dirty laundries scattered throughout my white carpet and slammed the creaking wooden door open. I need to go to the restroom, damn it.

I went to the restroom and felt a feeling of relief. I saw the time when I slammed the laptop shut. It was like nine forty am. Too late to attend the classes now, haha. I ran downstairs, over the soft bristles of the white rug, and saw the sight of a clean, glossy white kitchen. My room was the only room that was messy.

Really shows how much of a loser I am. The chilling winds of the refrigerator bruised my skin. That was the lowest I could go when it came to resisting the freeze. To my surprise, the refrigerator was nearly empty. With just a small, useless egg-laying near the middle section of the fridge.

I slammed it shut and heard the sound of a piece of paper whoosh over the air. I squinted my eyes because my eyes were literally so weak when it came to reading. Especially when I slept for only three hours. Oh, notebook paper was used? Well, that's a classic parent thing. They're too lazy to use actual paper. Well, I noticed that the handwriting was decent. Better than my illegible chicken scratch. It's so clean and precise, I honestly wish I could write like that. But, I can't. Sigh moment. I placed my hands over the written piece of notebook paper.

"Please go buy groceries for us. My, I and your father are busy working right now. The money and the shopping list is on the counter near the fridge, DON'T buys anything else, Rulon!"

Wow, okay, mom. I'll buy the damn groceries for your lazy self. Now I have to exit the sweet comfort of my home? Well, that's shitty. I tilted my head behind me and saw the small strip of blue-lined paper with a written list spanning vertically. I quickly departed from the table and walked to the sink to grab a glass of fresh cold water.

The glass is shimmering, revealing my handsome face over the glass. No seriously, everyone in the Likitten chat room called me handsome. I sent the image of my face. Long, black hair, with grey eyes, with no sight of a facial mistake, located. Yikes, and I let that appearance go to waste. I'm too much of a pussy to ask a girl out. I'd rather ask a cute cartoon cat girl instead.

Well, catgirls don't exist. Even if some person hinted at constructing one, because of their large stacks of cash. What a joke, honestly. I quickly tilted the glass of water down my throat and grabbed the money and the small strip of paper and sprinted out to the front door. The sunlight blinded my eyes for a second, revealing my droopy face. A beautiful front yard with beautiful white fencing. With a nicely paved street leading over to the near grocery store, and a beautiful bright sky.

"Cartoon worlds are better, to be honest."

I quickly ran out of the door and slammed it. I sprinted as fast as I can, as I was too stupid to get a driver's license. My parents delayed it until I was twenty-two years old, I can't go anywhere in the first place. Well, time to use all my breath to head to the grocery store, and then fix whatever the hell my ban was. Here we go.
