Open When You Re Bored Novels & Stories

I stepped and passed by him. I held my self to not stick my nose on other people's business. I mean, dang, I'm so bored to death. Boredness was a strong aspect that could make people crazy and do things they usually don't do. For example, following this boy around and be noisy in his life. So like a mantra, I spoke to myself, I wouldn't ask, I wouldn't ask. I stepped a couple of stairs, passed by him when I suddenly stopped. Realization dawned upon me.

I said as he press the button for the lift. ******* I just play with my phone while eating some chips besides me. I play my favorite game, Subway surfers because its been a while since I last play it. It's only 6:45 pm still so early but I don't have anything else to do so I just decided to be lazy today by sitting on the couch with chips and my phone. After a few minutes, I feel bored suddenly hit me. "What am I gonna do now?" I ask myself. I close the game and call Alexa. This girl totally forgot about me or what. I press call and put the phone on loud speaker.

DARREN’S POV Boredom has always been a problem for me. I’ve known that for a long time, even before anyone else pointed it out. Most people can sit still when they have nothing to do, find something quiet to pass the time, or just let their minds rest. I can’t do that. When I’m still for too long, my mind doesn’t calm down. It starts searching. It looks for something to focus on, something to move toward, the same way a wolf starts pacing when it’s been held in one place for too long.

The conversation between us flows so well I forget that I was ever bored. A redhead who was slumping back in a chair taking selfies sits up and smiles. "Guys!" She speaks. "What is it?" Kai asks. "I have an idea, something that will make things more fun. The night is still young and I don't want to get bored. "Another game?" A brunette with short hair asks. It looks like games are this group's source of entertainment. "Yes, I think it's time we turned things up. Make them a little interesting and spicy."

The rain lashed against the windowpane of my studio apartment, a rhythmic drumming that usually felt cozy but tonight felt like a frantic warning. I was bored—the kind of soul-crushing boredom that comes from scrolling through every social media feed until the blue light burns your retinas. My phone, a slick slab of glass and metal, felt heavy in my hand. I’ve always been fascinated by digital glitches—the "number neighbor" trends, the urban legends of calling 999-9999 at midnight. On a whim, a strange, shivering impulse took hold of me.

I started to be a working student when I was first year high school. It was a tiring, boring and lonely Sunday for me today. No work and since my auntie weren’t planing on going somewhere so we just stayed at our house. Scrolling at f******k, go to tiktok, back to f******k while laying is the only thing what I’m doing now. When I got tired of scrolling at those apps, I decided to go to app store and look for an app that can decrease my boredom. While scrolling, I found game apps and I downloaded some of it. Not satisfied enough, I continued scrolling and came across a weird app. As curiosity is coating me, I downloaded it and try it.

The first paragraph doesn’t always determine the end, I know things will get better with time. To deal with my boredom problem today, I decided to call my gummy bear. Just when I have enough time for him, he has been too busy lately. I haven’t even seen him in four days and I miss him so much. I found the phone lying not too far from me in the sitting room. I have been clinging to it too much lately. I would go crazy if I didn't randomly scroll through stuff every five minutes. I dialed Jimmy’s number and it began to ring, a smile spread across my face as he took the call. “Hey love,” I said with a blush.

Leaning against the cool granite countertop, I scrolled through Facegram, a mindless distraction from the gnawing emptiness inside. Then, a live video caught my eye. A new club, "Moonlight," was having its grand opening tonight. A surge of something akin to excitement flickered within me. If Damien was having fun, why couldn't I? Maybe a different kind of fun, a less complicated fun, but fun nonetheless. Something to kill the time, to silence the relentless voices in my head. "This is it," I said to myself, a reckless grin spreading across my face. "I'm going to let loose tonight."

Yes, how can I tell him I was just bored and roam around, and that his room piqued my interest? I bit my lips and looked down, then I looked up to see him. He is waiting for my answer. "Because…uhm." I can't tell it, can I just disappear right now? It's not even a valid reason. I closed my eyes tightly. "Because I was bored and trying to find something interesting, you were all out there and I was roaming around." I quickly said. I opened my eyes to see his reaction but he was just staring at me again with those eyes. It's captivating and cold at the same time.

He said, kissing my cheeks lightly. Just then, I remember being actually pregnant, and I slapped my forehead. "But I'm going to be bored all alone here," I said with pouty lips. "If you are bored, then the way to cure your boredom should not be training; that would hurt our pup, and you don't want to do that, do you?" I shook my head. "I would show you a better way to cure your boredom. Change your dress and follow me. And besides, you have Kelvin and Eva."
