THE PLAYFUL CONVERSION STARTS

"This is me praying that,
This was the very first page
Not where the storyline ends
My thoughts will echo your name
Until I see you again"

Rosalina POV

It's gonna be another old married couple here to enjoy their retirement. I thought to myself as I fixed my hair to a bun. Dad wants me to socialize with our new neighbors who moved in a few hours ago and I completely don't want that. Let me list out why:-
*I'm an introvert and very very socially awkward. I don't wanna spoil my reputation by going out there and being assumed as rude.
* And it's always the old people here at this building. Not that I hate their company.
* Lastly, all I wanna do is rot in my room and play music cause it has always been my dream. To play a melancholy for a despondent soul. To connect different people through music.

And recently I found this guy on social media who is very underrated. He has very less follower count but his work is pure gold. His lyrics, his voice, the way he plays instruments. He's the kind of guy who'd give me butterflies at first sight. But unfortunately, my love life's fictional on another level. I don't even know his name. His username is @/sadasCmkey but he never said his name nor his age. Talking about him, my ears began to long for his voice and my hands betray my conscience by grabbing my phone from the nightstand.
"Rosalinda, are you ready?"
Frick. My dad called me. I quickly slid my phone into my flannel pocket and rushed downstairs.
" Let's go!" mom said.
We walked across the street to the blue house. By now, I was getting bored. I hate to meet new people. We stood in front of the doorway and I could hear the lock click open. Unbothered, I looked up only to confide in deep dark brown orbs. I looked at the boy who stood at the entrance and re-analyzed my vision. Is it him? And with unprecedented courage, I blurted out, '' Are you 'sad as Cm key'?'' 

He smiled. I could feel my parents glaring at me and I just realized we didn't introduce ourselves nor did we say hello. FRICK, why do I have to be so awkward when it comes to socializing! As if nothing at all happened, my dad started to speak, ''We are the Ellisons and we live across the street. We thought it would be nice to introduce ourselves as you are new neighbors.'' 

''Oh, please come in!'' He said and welcomed us in. The house was filled with cardboard boxes and my over-observant self noticed minuscule dust particles flying around. Cm key called out his parents and he called out someone named Laura. Wait...Does he have a girlfriend?

A small girl around 5 years ran out of the room with a naked doll in her hand. '' Did you call me? didn't I tell I was trying to help Cassie bathe?!'' She stood with her hands on her hip. '' Enough with these doll atrocities and introduce yourself to our neighbors, The Ellisons?'', he said as grabbed the doll from the girl's hand and threw it across the room. By now, his parents came down and we introduced ourselves once again. And guess what, he still didn't say his name. ''Let me introduce my kids!'' His father said pointing towards him and Laura. 

He was about to speak only to get interrupted by the tiny girl's rant! ''Hello everyone, I'm Laura and this is my daughter, Cassie! Every week we go grocery shopping and then we dress up ourselves and go to a Tea party hosted by one of my friends, oh no! I forgot her name!! Wait, it sounds just like...'' She was brought to a halt when her mother pulled her by her elbow. And before Cm key could say his name, his father started to speak. Again! By now I was getting bored so I excused myself to the washroom and left. I had no clue where the restroom was so I wandered around the house. This feels awkward.

'' Hey, let me show you the washroom!'' I heard my favorite familiar voice from behind me and I turned behind to face the same brown eyes I had once gotten lost in. ''Thanks,'' I quietly uttered as I stared at him with a very perplexed look on my face. I followed him slowly. '' So, what's your name?'' he asked me and I smiled recalling how we never got a chance to introduce ourselves though we were in the same room for the past 30 minutes. 

''I'm Rosalinda Ellison and I'm 17,'' I said, and as I was already impatient to know his name I couldn't wait anymore. '' I really wanna know your name. I know I was very awkward to you the moment I saw you at the doorway and I'm sorry about that. It's just that I love your lyrics and your music. It inspires me a lot.''  OOOOHHHH, where did that confidence come from? I'm ruining every single chance I get with him. I have been crushing on him for a long time and all I know is his face and his voice. 

He chuckled and said in a honey-dripping deep voice, '' How about you guess it? My initials are there in my username''. Username? seriously? His username is simply a moody phrase.  SadasCmkey? What the hell do I decipher from that? ''I'm not sure. Does your username have initials? It's just a phrase, which relates a lot to your content as you always write sad songs'' I said and he raised a single eyebrow, his smile never fading away. ''I give up'' I said raising my hands over my head. He let out a laugh and continued, ''How about CM? Connor Merrick!'' Shit! I never thought about that. '' I'm 21'' He said and he was about to say something when my dad called! '' Rosalinda, are you done? We need to leave!'' 

'These are the words I held back, as I was leaving too soon 

I was enchanted to meet you! '

We looked at each other and I braced up for the goodbye. ''So we'll definitely meet again Rosa! you seem like a lovely person!'' Rosa? I've never had a nickname before. Not like I had people who were close enough to call me with nicknames. No best friends, no love life or social life. My life would be very boring to even think about. '' It was nice talking to you Connor!'' I said as I left the place leaving a piece of my heart with someone who has always owned it!
