Like Flower Petals (Gerard Way FanFiction)

       I sighed and put my elbows on my knees. I was sitting cross legged on my bed, with my laptop balanced just so. My main character just had an epic sword duel, and there was no longer any words that appealed to me. My eyes felt heavy from staring at the bright screen for to long, and my headphones began to feel uncomfortable. I pushed the laptop off my legs, and shut the top abruptly.

        The front door opened and shut quickly, making a loud sound that resonated throughout the apartment. Jinx, my roommate, announced her presence. "Ay Kenny, ready to party?!" She screamed. I had promised Jinx we'd go out for drinks for my birthday, since last year I had stayed home working on my novel.

        "Kendra!" I could hear her heels as she bounded up the stairs. She pulled open my bedroom door and did a little jig before pausing and frowning. "Why aren't you dressed?" She sat down next to me on the bed. I looked up at her, "I'm dressed." I glanced down at my outfit, which consisted of black skinnies, a MCR tee, and red vans. Jinx frowned and made a disgusted sound, before standing and making her way to my closet. Jinx's traditional going out dress, a skin tight peach dress, was hanging in a plastic protective coat. The dry cleaners was one of Jinx's favorite places, everyone employed there knew her by name.

        I watched her make her way through my wardrobe, and I laughed at the occasionally faces she'd make. "Okay this dress is the best of the worst," She threw down a strapless black dress with a lace bodice and a full skirt that would come to just above my knees. I tapped my chin, grinning like a fool, "Can I wear my vans with it?" Jinx laughed and nodded. "Knock yourself out, you crazy kid." 

        "Get dressed quickly, we leave in a hour!" She sashayed out of the door to her own bedroom. I held up the dress, and examined it at an angle. Okay, compared to some of the stuff that Jinx has picked out for me in the past, this dress was pretty nice. Funny, seeing how I don't remember purchasing it. Fucking Jinx. I smiled to myself, and got off my bed, practically jumping to the bathroom. I stepped into the shower, and let the warm water sooth me, pumping me up for the night that was about to go down. I washed my oily hair with haste, before turning off the water. I grabbed two towels from the rack, wrapping one around my body, the other around my hair. In the span of half an hour, I dried and curled my hair, applied a light coat of makeup, all butt naked save for the towels. 

        I stepped outside of the bathroom, the cold air taking me at surprise. I made my way towards the dress, and slipped it on. I then hopped onto my bed, pulling on my vans. It took a moment to get used to the way the shoes hugged my feet after being barefoot. I could hear Jinx jumping around in her bedroom, probably lip-syncing into her hairbrush like she always seems to do when shes excited. I smirked, and stepped in front of my mirror. 

Damn, not too bad for a dork.
