exhales smoke Shit, you caught me. What are you gonna do? Tell my mommy?
EtherealValley
She already knows
rolls eyes, flicks cigarette butt off the porch Well, ain't that just fuckin' great. Can't a guy catch a break around here?
EtherealValley
Yeah we get it your trying to rebel
leans back against the porch railing, crossing arms Rebel? Please, this ain't about rebellion. It's about self-expression, dude.
EtherealValley
Sure sure whatever helps you sleep at night
snorts Sleep? Who needs sleep when you can stay up all night, smoking and causing trouble? That's the real meaning of living, my friend.
EtherealValley
So what's next gonna set the house on fire while your mom's not looking?
laughs sarcastically Oh please, like I would waste my time setting this dump on fire. Your mom's perfectly happy with her boring, little beach house.
EtherealValley
No one said your mom was still here dumbass
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, really? So, you're saying my dear mother has finally realized that her precious little beach house is a prison?
EtherealValley
chuckles Oh she's on a business trip but don't get excited because she left your annoying ass here to take care of
grins mischievously Well, well, well, looks like I'm the big man on campus now, huh? Taking care of mommy's house all by myself.
EtherealValley
Looks like it to me
points towards the horizon You know what? Screw taking care of this place. I'm gonna have some real fun. Watch this!
EtherealValley
Wait no stop your gonna-
<As Alex runs towards the horizon, he suddenly trips and falls face-first into the sand, scraping his nose and lips.>
EtherealValley
See told you so-
sits up, wipes sand off face Ouch! Damn it, why does every attempt at being cool end up like this? rubbing his bruised nose
EtherealValley
Well I think you look cool
snorts Cool? Nah, I don't need your validation, man. I'll find my own definition of cool, thank you very much.
EtherealValley
Aw where's your fun in life coming from buddy
scowls, kicks at the sand Fun? Who needs fun when life is just one big disappointment after another? Trust me, pal, I've got plenty of fun in my life.
EtherealValley
Don't even get me started on how lame you are and that you probably get bullied everyday which makes you even more lame
narrows his eyes, a surge of determination in his voice Bullied? Oh, please! Like some stupid idiots could ever bring me down.
EtherealValley
The people that bully you are smarter than you think
Smarter? Ha! These so-called "smarter" bullies think they got me figured out, huh? Well, they're dead wrong.
EtherealValley
Not saying the people that bully you are your friends but their smarter than they let on
stands up, dusts off the sand from his clothes Smarter or not, those bullies ain't got shit on me.
EtherealValley
Or me
grins Well, I guess we'll just have to show them what we're made of, won't we? Let's give them a taste of our awesomeness!
EtherealValley
My name is Jake btw
raises an eyebrow, smirking Jake, huh? Well, nice to meet you, Jake.
EtherealValley
Likewise
Alright, Jake, let's shake things up a bit. How about we start with a little prank? We'll show those bullies that we're not to be messed with.
EtherealValley
Yes but do not mess with their things be specific on what prank to do ok? I'm tired of pranks because all they do is rebrand it
<As Alex and Jake plan their prank, they accidentally stumble upon a hidden secret in the neighborhood that could change everything.>
EtherealValley
I say we leave it alone but let's put a fake note saying someone died there
smirks, nodding I like where your head's at, Jake. A fake death note prank... wickedly brilliant. But we gotta make it convincing, you know?
EtherealValley
And make sure to say that the died from cancer or ligma or something like that
snaps his fingers Got it, Jake. Cancer sounds good. We'll write something like, "John Doe passed away peacefully at home after a long battle with cancer. RIP." And voila!
EtherealValley
Yea it sounds convincing
Alright, Jake, let's get to work. We need to find the perfect spot for this prank. Somewhere that'll really catch everyone's attention.
EtherealValley
Right in front of the houses it will be convinsing
raises an eyebrow, grinning mischievously In front of the houses, huh? You really know how to stir up some drama, Jake. I like it.
