Hiding behind masks

The smart one and I were leaving the office talking and he said not to mention it to anyone and shows me this screen listing thousands of dollars, he looked really proud of it, and I joked MGM was up the street. We passed a park and he placed his backpack on a table to go down a slide but it had a bunch of things like sweaters and pillows stored on it. We kept walling and sat at this bench, Ralph sat next to him and Jimmy sat next to me. I took a phone call and it was John confirming I was coming over for dinner. I was trying to verify where he was and it seemed like an hours drive west like he was way at the west end of Phoenix. Jimmy mentioned having an hour and a half drive, I asked what happened to Chinatown? He said things weren’t working out there and he was having issues with his mom. People were mixing drinks and bringing them back to the table. I was explaining something to John and he recommended getting a Manhattan to calm my nerves or something. Ralph had just made one so I was going to ask him to make me one but never got around to it.

I was in this open space in this house and was aware of this shadowy idk how to describe it, think Assassin’s Creed black cloaked figure / the movie Ink / really cool looking (bronze?) mask I *think* I saw in Marco Polo, but possibly remember from something else… I was trying to confront and when he appeared I’d start to suck air in, like the witches from Hocus Pocus trying to eat souls but this was to not let mine go or something. I kept trying to see who was behind the blackish bronzeish mask and got closer a couple times. Then I looked in this glass case and in the reflection saw senpai taking his gray hoodie off, wearing a bright green shirt underneath. I turned around and this figure was so close behind me I almost bumped him. But this time he grabbed me and I glomped forward to kiss him, knowing it was him, and that he was just stuck and concealed.

I showed up to a party for Lauri and Patti had been upset about previous occurrences I couldn’t even remember. As the evening continued I was concerned about my things.  I was playing some phone game with Lauri and her two friends had fallen asleep, lying down and stretched out on their chairs on the other side of the table. This game was almost like some turn based situational thing with points and keys from other phones that had signed into the game previously. During the game play I was digging through my bag to grab something and Patti rushes up saying she’d told me not to go through and empty my bags. I tried explaining I wasn’t gonna empty them and just needed something and how was I gonna sleep over if I couldn’t grab stuff. This was a little party for Lauri. And Patti’s husband, who was supposed to be Lauri’s step dad, gave me this nasty look from across the table like I was the most annoying person. Lauri tried to keep the game going even though it was just us and it really needed more than 2 players. There was a video playing in the background of her and her friends in what looked like school photos but with wigs and masks and props. She said they went to this video store / Zia and  paid $900 to play with all the props and take photos. The dad mentioned it was time for the girls to go upstairs and pass out in his bed soon which triggered a huge red flag.

I’m so sick right now when I was half awake a couple hrs ago I heard the tiniest snore on exhale. I was caught snoring on the couch once by mom in high school, she said I was super tired… and I never fell asleep on the couch unless I was sick. She said it was really quiet and cute and I was all omg mom. Now I’m wondering if this is because I’m sick or if I’m getting older and am starting to snore. gdi.
