Diary Of A Nerdy Werewolf by Mister Five
Chapter Four
Mike showered and checked the time it was elven in the morning, after
getting dressed wearing a Bat Out Of Hell t-shirt and blue jeans. not
bothering to wear any undies he decided to go commando. Putting on some
white socks from a package he hadn't opened yet, being a Christmas gift he
hadn't had a chance to use any of them. Gathering his DS lite, DS plug, and
his copy of Pokemon Black, taking his cellphone, truck keys, and wallet he
went down the stairs and saw his parents in the kitchen.
Mike went into the fridge and got half of a subway sandwich he saved
from yesterday for breakfast. He then told his parents he was going over to
Daniels place to hang out for awhile.
His mother didn't mind but his father was little more enquiring,
"Mike whose this Daniel do we know him".
Mike bit into his cold steak sub and said, "you might his last name is
Keams".
"Oh yeah" Mike's dad said, he is a business partner at the store, he
invited me to play a round of golf with him during lunch, "he seemed oddly
interested in my family life".
"I suppose Daniel could have mentioned me to his dad since he has been
tutoring me with my school work", Mike said.
"I'm not sure" Mike's dad said, "he just seemed like I was a charity
case or something cause he refused to let me pay for anything".
"Well hun" Mike's mom said, "it could be cause you were his guest".
Mike's dad thought about it and shook his head, "no cause when we were
playing wolf he let me win. I've played competitive golf when I was younger
and he threw the game, he would get on the green in one stroke but just tap
the ball around for three strokes. Either way I don't think its a bad thing
necessarily I just don't want this job to be a sympathy thing or anything".
"Nah dad" Mike said, "they were properly looking for experience help,
besides it sounds like to me he might think of you executive manager
material".
Mike's dad raised an eye brow and buffed out his chest, "yeah I guess
you're right I am damn good in what I do".
With Mike's mom swooning over her husband Mike felt a little
uncomfortable, "oh my strong provider" Mike's mom said to fit his dad's
bravado image.
"Okay" Mike said, "well I am going I'll you if anything comes up bye".
"Bye" Mike's parents said as they started to slow dance like in the day
in the kitchen as Mike retreated outside.
Getting in his truck he put his DS with its power cord wrapped around it
on his passenger seat as he started his truck. The drive to Daniel's house
wasn't a long one as they lived fairly close by car, about ten minutes if
the roads were clear. Since it was a pretty isolated town in a pretty dense
forest region it would be extremely rare to have much traffic. It was close
to ten minutes when Mike arrived to Daniel's street, truth be told Mike
wasn't sure why he was hanging out with Daniel. He had about a handful of
friends and only one he'd considers close Rob Dramell but he was busy
dating a really hot girl from the girls basketball team.
Rob said she was the greatest girl friend he had ever had, he would
brag the times they did talk about how they went all the way on the first
date. He said in two weeks he would meet the folks and some of their
friends and really get to be part of the family. Rob said he didn't mind
meeting the folks he was completely falling for her, Marcy Rochett was her
name. She was one of them super athletic girls that went to school, the
ones who seemed to be super slutty with some guys and wouldn't even talk to
others. However Rob even if he and Mike were kind of close began to drift
and Mike found that with him not being part of a sports team or being part
of any particular group he found himself pretty short on friends.
Although Daniel was pretty cool in Mike's mind he was smart, pretty
nice, and would be pretty cool to play Pokemon any other games with
someone. Pulling up the Daniel's house he parted next to the house on the
street not wanting to block the driveway which had three cars all of which
were fairly expensive looking. Daniel offhanded mentioned his dad was a
businessman. Mike supposed Daniel was just being modest, since by the looks
of the fairly larger than average house that his dad was more of a
entrepreneur (a damn good one).
Getting out of his truck he carried his DS in his hand as he walked
up the walkway to the front door. He had seen the house before but not
really close up, before he had the chance to knock a large guy opened the
door. Mike recognized it was Kyle the captain of the football team, he was
18 and was going to graduate that year.
Mike seen guys on the team and Kyle was easily the tallest, 6 foot
three and a half, over two hundred pounds of muscle, dark brown eyes, black
hair. It was pretty intimidating to stand in the presence of such a
specimen of masculinity. Stubble covering his chin like a the forming of a
beard that was too scared to grow cause it be on a pretty tough looking
face. Standing there in shorts and a white muscle shirt he looked down at
Mike with a moment of slight contempt.
Then it was as if he reminded himself something which made him give
Mike a friendly smile. Mike was little over 6 feet so he wasn't that
intimated by Kyle smiling back he said, "hi I am Mike Ramsey I am here to
see Daniel".
"Dan said you were coming" Kyle announced as if he was saying it as if
it was some soft spoken prophecy, "please come in Dan is upstairs".
"Thanks" Mike said, stepping inside he took off his shoes and was
making his to the stairs when out of nowhere Jon who seemed to jump out of
nowhere in front of Mike.
"Waahh"! Mike screamed from surprise, since there were no corners and
the area from the front door was part of the living room there was no place
Jon could have hid to jump out like that.
"Jesus" Mike said aloud almost dropping his DS, "how did you do that"?
"Do what"? Jon asked not sure what he did, but Kyle eye's widened as he
noticed what Mike noticed.
"Appear out of nowhere like what"? Mike queried.
"Oh I was in the kit- I mean I was going to the kitchen but I heard
you pull up so I hid behind the couch there and uh I well... I just wanted
to welcome to our home with a grand entrance", Jon said looking a little
nervous.
"Okay" Mike said, "but save the theatrics please".
Jon and Kyle laughed at Mike's remark which sounded oddly like the
laughs of the girls Mike used to date when he told them a joke.
Getting the feeling he was unaware of something he said, "well its
nice to meet you both, is Daniel's room up here"?
Jon was about to reply but Kyle said "its to your right at the end of
the hall".
"Thanks" Mike said as he ascended the stairs.
Mike got the impression of Daniel's brothers as one being a real
manly jock (Kyle) and the other one being into sports but more into the
scene (Jon). Mostly due to the fact that Kyle had no tattoos or piercings
and large muscles but Jon although muscular also was less so and had ear
piercings along the rim of his upper ear. Jon being in a tight black
t-shirt and tight blue shorts gave him the impression that he was into his
own body. Tattoos of weaving designs on his arms and a Chinese sign on his
leg, it was quite clear he was into a curtain thing but what that thing was
Mike didn't know.
Jon looked similar to his brother dark brown eyes, black hair which
looks like he recently dyed a brownish red and had his facial hair trimmed
into a soul patch. Feeling a little uneasy around them Mike moved up the
stairs in a efficient walking manor to not seem like he was running away
from them but to get him out of there.
Going up to the nice white painted door Mike knocked at the door and
Daniels voice said "come in". Opening the door he went inside Daniel's room
closing it behind him he saw Daniel's room for the first time. It smelled
like air freshener and was pretty opened spaced with a pretty expensive
high definition television with a Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3 hooked up to it. A
self to its left had games and one on the right had movies. Books, comic
books, and manga were shelved left of Daniel's dresser. A desk was against
a wall facing away from the television right next to Daniel's bed which was
a bunk bed with a bare mattress on top. The bed had a silk curtain hooked
to the top to allow one to sleep with no light. One the desk on some on a
card table set up of to the side were piles of Pokemon cards being
organized.
Posters, figures, and toys still in their boxes were all over the
place from comic books, anime, and films which would give one an idea that
a nerd lived there. Mike saw the room belonging to someone who was a avid
collector than a nerd (although nerd did come to his mind).
"Hey Dan, mind if I call you Dan"? Mike said as he walked over to
Daniel who was sitting on the floor next to his bed and opening his DS.
Daniel was on his red 3DS looking wide eyed at Mike like he was
surprised he even showed up, dressed in some loose fitting shorts and a
Dragon Ball Z t-shirt.
"Uh hey Mike and no I don't mind that" Daniel said as he turned to his
DS blushing intently.
Mike opened just started Pokemon Black on his DS when he came to a
realization, "Dan are you shy"?
Sitting frozen in place trying not to face Mike his eyes looking
shocked that Mike could tell that under his glasses.
"Yeah" Daniel finally said being honest but blushing like crazy, then
he reached out for a tissue and holding it to his nose which began to
bleed.
"Hey man relax" Mike said, "I like ya' okay? No need to be shy around
me" saying it to reassure Daniel but cause he actually felt that way also.
Blushing still he grabbed another tissue and put it to his nose,
"thanks" Daniel said.
They traded Pokemon and battled and their DS's for over an hour, then
for a couple more they played on Daniel's Wii. Super Smash Bros. Brawl was
the most played game as Mike was trying his best to win. Choosing all other
characters and playing different stages Mike still couldn't win once
against Daniel, who played only Luigi. Winning with only one hand with a
classic controllers, they both had classic controllers as both found it
easier to use over the Wii controller and Nunchuk.
They played till four in the afternoon, it was then that Daniel's
mother knocked at the door, "dear would you like to invite your friend for
dinner"?
Pausing the game Daniel looked up with his thick black framed
glasses at Mike as if to see if it was okay.
Mike shrugged and said "I don't mind".
Daniel's mom said through the door, "okay I'll place an extra seat
dinner will be ready at five".
After they unpaused the game and started playing Mike commented
saying, "your mom has excellent hearing".
Daniel almost froze in place, then he said "yeah she can hear a pin
drop in a room" he said half-jokingly.
When the game was done Mike called his parents on his cell to tell
them he'd be back later cause he got invited to dinner. When he had up the
phone Daniel was looking at him, his eyes seemed a little bigger than usual
behind his glasses. Dried blood around his nose and his face greasy from
sweat he looked like he was eager to say something.
"Mike you like me right"? Daniel asked with the red going to his face
again.
"Uh sure Dan" Mike said, "I think your pretty neat guy, why you
asking this you don't think I do, do you"?
"No, no" Daniel said breathing hard, "I actually wanted to know to be
sure, I know you like me but um... I was just wondering if you would say I
was a good friend"?
Mike took a minute to think about it and kinda got the feeling Daniel
wanted to know if they were close friends.
"Yeah I'd say we were more than good friends though" Mike said.
The double meaning made Daniel's fluster as he wondered if he liked him
as a friend or a...
The trail of thought was interrupted by some loud talking downstairs.
Both Mike and Daniel looked at the door as they heard hurried stomps
going up the stairs then the door opened showing Daniel's dad there he had
blood on his shirt and his face was white.
"Mike, Daniel I want you two to stay here today there is an emergency no
time to explain. I am going out and I want you two to stay here with your
brothers and mom okay"? He said hurriedly.
"Why dad whats wrong"? Daniel asked worried.
"I don't have time to explain, its too dangerous to be outside right
now. Mike I want you to phone your parents and tell them to stay home and
that you will be staying the night till this is over" he said as began
breathing heavily.
"O-okay" Mike said, Daniel just nodded as his dad left he ran to the
stairs and he went out the front door. Shortly after they heard him start
up his car and leave the driveway. Looking outside it was pure black
outside and wind a moaning wind was heard outside. Mike was perplexed as it
was light out minutes ago and now it seemed it got dark out with no sign of
it.
Mike opened his cell and called home it was a bit of static on the
line, his mother answered she sounded worried. Apparently a massive
lighting storm was coming with high winds and heavy rain it was going to
start soon and the local officials have told people to stay inside. Mike
told her that Daniel's dad wants him to spend the night and not go outside,
she agreed saying he is a member of the town council so he would know
best. They said goodbyes and I love yous and Mike hanged up his phone as
Daniel was covering his windows with his window curtains.
"So I guess I'd be staying the night" Mike said feeling a little weird
about the idea for some reason.
"Uh yeah" Daniel said, "well uh lets go downstairs and see where you can
sleep".
"Okay" Mike said as Daniel turned off the television and Wii and started
downstairs, "by the way why did your dad have to go out"?
Daniel was silent as if he had to think then said, "he is needed
during emergencies like this else where to you know keep control of the
situation".
"Oh" Mike said, "cause he is on the town council".
"...Yeah" Daniel said as if that reasoning was as convenient a
explanation Mike could get.
During this Mike started to get weird vibes from Daniel's family, true
they were friendly enough but the tone of their voices and expressions told
him that they were hiding something. However Mike wasn't a noisy or
judgemental person and figured it was something that wasn't is business but
the oddities were piling up. Suddenly a large constant patter sound came,
it was the sound of the outside raining heavily. Once they got downstairs
Jon and Kyle were in the living room, Kyle was texting his girlfriend and
Jon was watching Two and a Half men on the television.
Daniel led Mike into the their large kitchen which also had the eating
table which was the size of a dinning room table.
Daniel's mom was behind a large counter preparing that nights dinner
she had a somewhat concerned look on her face.
"Mom" Daniel said as he approached the counter she looked at him as she
took a tray out of the oven, "dad said Mike should stay over tonight
um... where is he going to sleep"?
She said quite quickly without much thought, "well I figured he just
sleep on the top bunk of your bunk bed since their both queen size
mattresses I think it might be a waste of space".
Mike said "sounds good to me, do you need any help before dinner
Mrs. Keams"?
Daniel's mother's face beamed, "well yes there is, uh Daniel can you
please get bedding for your friend and set it up for him while I show him
what he can do to help".
Mike was smiling but when he looked at Daniel shake his head it looked
like I was asking for a death sentence.
Once Daniel went upstairs his mom took Mike by the hand and led him to
the sink where it was full of potatoes. Large, dirty, unwashed potatoes.
"Now Mike dear I would like you to scrub each one of those potatoes and
then I'd like you to peel them dear" she said very sweetly.
"Uh Mrs. Keams, why clean the potatoes if you just want to peel off the
skin"? Mike asked a little curious at the task he was given.
"Oh dear" she said sounding a little concerned, "don't tell me you eat
dirty potatoes"?
Mike gave her a polite smile and said, "point taken Mrs. Keams" as he
right to cleaning the potatoes with the washcloth he was given.
She was smiling as she saw Mike work diligently, "you know my other two
boys could learn a lot from you, in fact I could use their help too so I
really hope they come in here". She said it loud and in a tone that said
she wanted Kyle and Jon to get there asses in there at that moment.
Two groans came from the living room as Jon Kyle emerged into the
kitchen dragging their feet.
"Oh you boys decided to come help" she said cheerfully, "Jon go clean
the table, chairs, dishes, and silverware then set them please; and Kyle
would you be a dear and wash and crack the hard boiled eggs and remember
not to take off any egg skin this time".
Both groaned as they set out to do their tasks it was then that Mike
learned the terrible truth that Daniels mom was a clean freak.
...to be continued.
