Chapter 8

• I close the door to the apartment and go to the living room. I just got back from class and I'm really tired. I hear the sound of a video game coming from the TV. Is he here? I didn't expect to see him here even though I saw him in that Café across from the University.
• I step into the living room and I'm right, Jake sits on the couch opposite the big TV screen with game control in his hands and a cigarette in between his lips. He looks up to acknowledge me and looks back at the TV and continues gaming.
• I sigh and greet him. " Hi." I'm not surprised that he doesn't answer, I'm used to all that. I go to my room and drop my bag as I quickly take a cold shower. I change into shorts and a t-shirt and go back to the living room. I need to have a word with Jake and I need to make dinner.
