Chapter #6Eric by: Unknown It was a Friday like most others, you walked to school, you walked home. everything was normal as it always has been. Walking down the sidewalk you trip.
"Hey are you okay" you hear someone say. you turn your head to the right and you see a heavily worn pair of green adidas. Following the legs attached you see black knee high socks and white shorts, the shorts had grass stains all over them.
"wait, I know you" you hear the voice call again, looking up the boys torso you see a green shirt along with the boys short blond hair and blue eyes. His shirt was two different shads of green, one light and one much darker which you thought was an odd design for a shirt but you reached a different conclusion when the boy raised his arm to scratch his head. Eric was dripping sweat, his shirt looked like a wet towel
"yea I remember you" Eric spoke "your Cole's friend, yea you used to babysit me all the time" you nod your head
"That looked like a rough fall, come inside ill get you some water and you can sit for a minute and recoup" offered Eric, you weren't gonna say no to some water and AC. He led you inside and explained that his parents are on a business trip and Cole was at a friend's so he had the whole house to himself. You follow Eric to the kitchen and you watch as his socked foot lands on the floor and when his foot leaves the floor, it leaves behind a perfect imprint of Eric's soles and toes on the tile, you try not to stare too hard
Eric gives you the glass of water, you drink it, say thank you and prepare to be on your way but Eric stops you "wait, why do you have to leave so soon, I mean i just got home from soccer practice, let's have some fun now!"
"I have homework to get out of..."
"oh c'mon please, lets just play a little bit. My dad brought me this new toy back from his office and I've been dying to play with it all day, c'mon just once"
At this point he was practically begging me to keep him company, I thought about my homework once more but then Eric sat down right intron of me, and stretched his legs out, his sweaty socked feet directly below my nose
"pleaseeee" he said again, my nose finally caught just a bit of the odor his socked feet were giving off, 5 minutes couldn't hurt right?
"Alright fine we can play but just for a little" Eric smiled up at you and shot up to his feet "wait right here ill go get it" he said
You heard the sound of Eric going through his closet upstairs "okay got it" you heard from the top of the stairs "now close your eyes"
"Wait, why do I have to close my eyes" you ask slightly worried "i just want you to be surprised okay, now don't open them until i say so, got it" asked Eric
"okay, what does it even do anyways" you ask
"simple" says Eric "This...."
