Me, Myself and I

Part 8

I have a month till I officially transfer to my new school. I found the future residents of the house. with their money for rent and my job, I will be on a good income. 

I sold all the furniture except mine. so I had extra money now which I planned on saving for emergencies. 

the best part is the new school is closer to the center. 

I just need to find a place to live. I could live in a motel or I could rent a place out. I saw an advert for this cute studio apartment 10 minutes away from the center. 

I was gonna check it out today. 

"damn mami. how are you so amazing?? you have been through so much and still your this beautiful. I'm jealous gurl " I hyped myself up in the mirror. 

what?? it's healthy. 

I got dressed for the day and left. I had turned 18 a few months before mom left so I can drive and legally rent an apartment.

"This is place is perfect," I said after a thorough examination. I turned to look at the landlord. it also fits in my budget. 

"When do we sign the papers," I asked getting excited. I have always wanted to live alone and be independent. this is the first step towards my future. 

I hummed to the supermarket music while shopping. I didn't need much since I would be shifting the week before I transfer. 

i looked at my cart. oreo, a big bag of chips, apples, dry fruits, cup noodles, and some random stuff I think that looks delicious. 

"here's your bill ma'am" 

"thank you have a nice day" I reply back and walk with the grocery bags. 

I examine the corolla my mom left behind. she never liked the car so it explains why she left it. 

it was in good condition and took you places. I love it. I placed all the bags in the back and stretched. oh god, I did so much today. 

I'm proud of myself. 

"Why are you smiling like a maniac" I heard a familiar voice say beside me. 

"no reason" I retort dropping my smile immediately. 

"come on Dane don't be so mean to our old friend here," said Jane. 

"what's up with you these days Rose," she asked with a creepy smile on her face. was her smile always this creepy or am I just now noticing it. 

"uhhhh nothing..." I said in a questioning manner. 

Dane gave me a questioning look.

"so what are you guys doing here," I asked politely. 

"oh Dane and I had to grab some snacks for our movie night right babe," she asked looking at him. but his eyes were on me. 

"uhh yeah," he said finally looking at his girlfriend. 

Jane looks at me to see a reaction but frowns when she doesn't. I just wanna leave bro. 

"ok I will see you guys around" I wave quickly and tried to leave but Dane grabbed me. 

"Why haven't you bruise completely healed yet," he asked. because the same person who left the "hickey" on me hit me again. 

"I don't know I guess I heal slowly" I shrugged off his hand. 

"I'm sorry" he quickly says. I stop in my place but don't turn. 

"I'm sorry I hit you. I shouldn't have done that. I was just frustrated with the rumors and then I saw the hickey and I just lost it. regardless if you cheated on me or not I shouldn't have hit you" 

i turn around and give him my signature goofy smile. 

"it's alright Dane. I understand" 

to say he was shocked would be an understatement. hahaha,

they both looked at me with utter shock. I give them a nod and wave at them. before I left I saw their faces. they were smiling. like real smiles. looks like Jane didn't have a creepy smile.
