  • escaping jet li.

    weekdays, my parents generally aren't home,  since the both of them are working. i tend to have the house to myself, and typically, i go out. i'm not much for spending time alone.

    kevin wanted to hang out today, so we decided to go to my house. he hasn't met my parents yet, and is quite terrified to do so, because he's heard stories about my dad, or as we, and the other guys, like to call him - jet li. he knows that jet li is quite the stern fellow, and very much serious. thus, he thinks it is best if he is clear away from jet li's visual vicinity.

    usually, jet li doesn't get out of work until four in the afternoon, arriving home at four ten.

    kevin wanted to leave my house at three fortyfive, just to be safe, and without a single chance of jet li's arrival home. but i didn't want to leave until three fifty.

    which was a bad move on my part.

    it was three fifty, and we were in my room, when suddenly i heard the garage door opening. i wasn't sure if it actually was my garage, because it was too early for jet li to be returning home. but as i walked into the living room to peak into the garage, there it was.

    his black mercedes.

    "SHIT!" i screamed, and ran back to the hallway where my room was, where kevin was walking out, and i told him to hide in my closet, because jet li was home.

    i was freaking out. i didn't know what to do. i could feel my heart pounding a thousand beats per second.

    jet li walked through the doors from the garage, and into the house, as i ran back to the hallway.

    "what're you doing?" he asked me. of course it looked suspicious that i was suddenly running back to the hallway. i picked up my hair straightener, and looked at the plug.

    "i thought i left my hair straightener on!" i replied, "but looks like i didn't. phew!"

    jet li began telling me about what his doctors found out at his appointment today.

    oh yeah. he had an appointment today. that's why he was home early. shit.

    although i was fully engrossed in my conversation with him, i was also thinking about how i would get kevin out of my house, and back home to his, without getting caught.

    after jet li walked away to get the mail, i ran back into my room, to tell kevin the plan was for him to jump out my window, and run down the street, and i'll call him when i get into my car. but the thing was - he'd be without his shoes, considering they were by the door to get into the house. before he could say anything, i walked away to grab the swiffer vacuum.

    "i'm going to vacuum my room, then i'm going out to staples!" i told my dad, as i was about to walk back into my room.

    "WAIT!" he yelled, and i stopped short in my tracks completely, thinking he had caught on to my act, "what do you need at staples?" i told him i needed printer paper, "i have some downstairs!"

    . . . oh.

    "well, i need to run errands, too." and i made a list of things i needed to do. he rolled his eyes at me, asking why i couldn't do it earlier, and i scurried off to my room, closing the door.

    i turned on the vacuum, as i moved my bed away from my window - because my bed's headboard blocks the opening of the window. as i opened my window higher, and moved up the screen, too, kevin climbed out of my window, and went down the street.

    i quickly grabbed my wallet and keys, and ran out my room, noticing my dad went downstairs to the basement.

    "bye!" i shouted, "i'll be back!" he told me to drive safely, and i sprinted out of my house, grabbing the chucks by the door, only to see kevin, shoeless and miserable.

    i turned on my car, drove up to him, and he jumped into the passenger seat.

    "we are never doing that again," he told me.

    we could only help but nervously laugh with one another over what had just happened.
