The zebra woke up like an hour later and stayed in bed for ten minutes before getting up, putting some clothes on and walking out of his room. He made breakfast. An egg and cheese sandwich. The zebra's mom volunteered to make his breakfast but he said he only liked it when he did it itself, but thanks anyways. The zebra made some coffee, grabbed some fruits, some instant ramen for later and drove to school.
He went to class and took notes, asked questions and didn't talk to anybody.He didn't talk to anybody at school. It had been a while since he had talked to somebody. He sometimes felt like he wanted to talk to girls. He looked at them, but not for long. He thought everyone was stupid and tried not to think so much that he felt alone because he was better off that way.
He sat on a table on the sun. It was hot, but when the clouds covered the sun it wasn't. He did some homework. There was people around him but he didn't acknowledge their existence. He listened to music. Then he met with his antelope friend. The zebra thought the antelope was funny and actually enjoyed being around him for a while.
They went to get their microwave food and filled it up with water and put it in the microwave inside the science, math and engineering building. It always smelled like food in there. People in school took food from home and put it in the microwave, then ate. It smelled like garlic or something. They ate their food. The zebra had taken an Adderall pill earlier to help him focus in his test for the next class. Though he didn't really need it because he had learned how to do all his math problems in his calculator. He thought it was funny and sad that before he would cheat off of people to be able to pass, now he cheated off a machine. But it was fine because he needed to pass. The end always justifies the means.
The people in his math class were sitting in different seats than their usual ones. "Maybe it's 'backwards day'" and laughed a little inside his head. He always sat in the front. He was always the only one to sit in the front. People are scared to sit in the front. There was some girl across him, on the other side of the room. She was wearing really short shorts and some Matrix-like leather boots that went up to her knee almost. She smiled at the zebra. He thought she looked like a prostitute and pretended to not have seen her smile at him.
Somebody asked him a question and he answered with the fewest possible words. He talked to his teacher, he felt he could be the teacher's 'friend' more easily than he could befriend any other person in the classroom. They were all stupid. Especially the girls. They all seemed plasticky and fake and like they didn't have a brain and would probably ask "what kind of car do you drive?" to start a conversation.
He was focused and alert while taking his test. He felt it all around. He finished his test fast because the calculator helped him 'solve' every problem. He shook hands with the professor and went to meet with his antelope friend. It was early and they both felt like doing something but couldn't because they had no weed. They walked around a little, went to some office, signed some papers and walked again.
They went inside the art building and the antelope said everyone in the art building looked like the Urban Outfitters spring catalog. "Hipster parade" said the zebra. Then he said he had already seen the spring catalog but wasn't going to spend so much money on it like last time. He was going to thrift stores instead. The antelope didn't believe him.
They walked around the art building looking for someone but didn't find him. They saw a big window that faced some patio or something and stood there looking at people. There was a fat woman standing and one of them said: "Look at that fat woman". The zebra said she looked like a meatball. The antelope said she had no neck. She lit a cigarette up and they laughed and said "And she smokes!" or something that. The zebra said she looked like a cancer ball now.
Some girls passed by and they checked them out. They walked down the stairs and the zebra and antelope were going to follow them but they saw that there were stairs leading up. They were in the third floor so logically the stairs could only take them to the roof because the building only had three floors. They walked up the stairs and found an isolated 'chill area' and a door. There was also a rose taped onto the wall. 'I love you' was written on the door and something about being someone's Valentine. Since the rose was still there, whoever put it there probably got rejected and spent Valentine's day alone, feeling stupid for having done that in the first place.
The isolated 'chill area' reminded the zebra of High School and how couples would make out at isolated 'chill areas' after school. "You could make out with someone here" said the zebra. "You can even get a ghetto girl and have sex with her here" said the antelope.
They went back downstairs to the second floor and walked out into a terrace or whatever. "The adventures of ______ and ________" said the antelope. "These are some boring 'adventures'" said the zebra.
They walked and rested against a handrail while looking at people. They shared some slices of pineapple. There was a guy and a girl in wheelchairs and they both thought it was funny. "We should get wheelchairs" said the antelope. "We should hold hands and roll around in our wheelchairs" said the zebra. They both laughed a little. They checked out a girl that passed by. "Widdit". "We should get married on our wheelchairs and attach some strings to some cans and tie them to the back of our wheelchairs" said the zebra. The antelope shook his head in a disapproving manner but they both knew it was funny.
The antelope told the zebra he sounded like a zebra. "You sound like an antelope" said the zebra to the antelope.
The zebra talked about a time he got a blowjob on a sidewalk at four in the morning. He thought that was probably the 'craziest thing' he had done. They discussed whether blowjobs or sex were better. The antelope said sex was better, but he's biased because he has a girlfriend.
They discussed whether it was gay that they were leaning against a handrail, sharing slices of pineapple, talking about (lonely) feelings, with the sun setting in the background. "No because I'm always talking about how I'm alone anyways" said the zebra.
Then they left. The antelope stayed at school and the zebra went home.
While driving home the zebra thought a lot of things. He thought about objectivity. How he really liked using the word 'objectivity' or any of its derivatives. He thought about the concept of meaning and how pointless it is. Things don't have objective meanings, they depend on the context they are laid upon. Humans give things meaning, meanings that aren't there to begin with. Humans made their lives harder in the search of making them easier. Nothing meant anything. Existence meant nothing. There was no 'point' to anything. This used to make the zebra depressed but he had gotten over it now sort of. He felt better.
He thought he was having an 'epiphany' but then remembered how he didn't like it when people used that word so he decided he wasn't having one.
The zebra drove in the traffic and thought it was caused by an accident. "Only stupid people have accidents" thought the zebra. Careless people. He listened to music and sang and danced in his car. He got home and spent the rest of the day on the computer. Then he fell asleep.
