"Oh uh" i bumped harshly into something, before I realized it the world started spinning.

Tap tap tap
Huh?
Tap
What's taping me ??
After a few seconds I just decided to open my eyes, there I saw some weird mask, then I realized it was a person
"HUH??" after a few seconds I realized i wasn't in the 5th floor anymore, instead I was in someone's floor being poked by a masked person.
The person had two pigtails and soft blue hair, piercing blue eyes and two ear piercings on each ear, a black shirt and a pair of red pants, intrigued by this I couldn't stop staring at them.
Finally after some time they decided to ask, awkwardly taping on the floor they stuttered out a sentence.
"Uh, hello are you finally awake?" They asked nervously, with the way they spoke I couldn't help but listen to them attentively.
Like an idiot I kept staring, a wide grin spreading on my face, after a few seconds I noticed that his ears had reddened slightly. Ignoring my off putting attitude he continued.
"well you passed out and bumped into Larry, so we just had to carry you out here" he sighed as he continued telling me what happened, holding his hands together and avoiding eye contact.
"Oh, well where's Larry?" I said slightly curious
The boy paused and said "oh, well Larry went to get some ice or something that would help you feel better, my name's sal by the way"
i nodded slightly as I stared into the apartment walls
"You can call me Sally face if you want"
Once i was feeling better i unconsciously laid my head on sal's shoulder. He seemed to be surprised but overall he didn't move me away.
His shoulder was comfortable so I just ended up passing out on his lap this time.. despite just meeting them I was far too tired to care how embarrassing it was to lay in a strangers lap.

"Mhmm...what a nice dream I had, I met this cute boy and a tall guy cause i accidentally bumped into them, I think they were talking about me.."
I murmured to myself as I stretched, moving my head slightly, I realized, a bit too late that it was quite in fact NOT a dream
As I felt soothing hands on my hair, going back and forth in circles. I'm going to be honest, at that moment I felt sheer embarrassment but I couldn't help but lean into this hands
wait, he's been patting my hair this whole time, well no wonder I fell asleep so fast.
To be honest in any other situation I'd get fucked over or called a freak, but well, i guess I finally made some new friends hopefully.
The masked boy smiled under his mask, as he realized that she fell asleep.
"Welp, I'm glad I got to help, I'll have to talk to Larry about this girl, I think she's the one we've been looking for."
I patted her soft but slightly tangled hair, I just decided to stay still until she decided to wake up, I hope she wants to be our friend, I'm sure the others will like her.
at least I do
Although I'll admit, it did caught me off guard when she laid on my lap out of nowhere, I do wonder what made her go to the 5th floor in the first place.
I mean its dangerous in there, she quite literally bolted out of the room and clashed head first into Larry, which just confirms my theories..of her possibly seeing something or someone
Larry and me heard a few weeks ago that, some new person was going to live in the Addison apartments, both of us were ecstatic, I mean who knows what kind of person or mystery we'd find out
Maybe this time I can trust that everything will work out for us, and that things won't happen like last time.

"I don't want sal to die..." A voice cried out
...
"sorry ma'am, it's the law, we won't let you come in" the officer said in a pitiful tone, yet he snickered to himself
"He's a criminal!!!" someone shouted behind me
"Shut up! Sal is innocent" ..
