We got to the appartment and it was pretty cool. I didn't expect it to be nice.
"Do you like it Mia?" I nodded. "Wait till you see your room!" Those were the words needed for me to throw my bags and run straight to my room. When I saw it I was astonished. It was horrendous, the walls are mint green.
"MOOM" I yelled with a really big ball of anger forming inside me. "Mom why are my walls mint green?
"Mia stop being so stubborn if you hate them that much go buy paint and do it yourself I am tired of you young lady"
After cursing under my breath I took my wallet and headed to the nearest store. When I got there there was a girl behind the counter.
"Um excuse me do you have orange and white paint?"
"Yeah sure which type of orange?"
I wasn't planning on receiving that question. "Mmm I don't know..."
All of a sudden a voice interrupted me from my thoughts "Give her orange-L07" I looked at him and he flashed me a smile. He look friendly I guess.
"Barry stop getting into people's orders" the girl scolded him.
"Nono it is fine I would like to see the color" I smiled at him and after like 10 ,minutes he came back wit the paint I requested. He showed me the paint and I loved it. "That was exactly what I was looking for!" He grinned
"i'm glad you like it!" We kept staring at each other smiling, okay this is getting awkward. "Um so I will have two of orange and four of the white one" He nodded and went for the paint. "It is 37 dollars and 55 cents" I handed him the money and before he gave me my ticket he wrote something on it.
On my way home I looked at my ticket and it had his phone number written on it. I took my phone out of my pocket to save him in my contacts but before I could type it the wind took it away from my grip. "No shit" I tried to catch it but I couldn't. I thought about going back but rejected the idea immediately. It was good day until the stupid wind ruined it.

I spent the next four days locked in my room with music blasting from the speakers. My room is finally finished and it looks so damn good.
"Mom you need to see this! You won't believe I did it!" When she came the look in her eyes told me she was impressed. But when she looked at me her eyes were about to pop out of her face.
"What I don't believe is what you are wearing" her comment was followed by a laugh "Honey no offense but you look like a farmer's daughter with a shirt on her head "
"Thanks mom!"
"Sorry I just never see you wearing things like this" she was about to leave but she stopped and said "oh and don't forget to wash the brushes and go to the lobby so you can hand them back"
I nodded and started doing what she said. When I was done I headed straight to the elevator. When the doors opened I saw none other than Shawn, my lovely neighbor with the breathtaking eyes.
"Woah Mia you look..."
"Breathtaking?"
"Orange..." Geez thank you
"no shit Sherlock" I sticked my tongue out.
"Why are you orange?"
"I painted the walls of my room, you'll never believe the horrendous green they were"
"Mint?" My eyes widened
"What are you a sorcerer? And indeed they were mint green the worst color ever invented" he laughed. The elevator dinged and we got out. I went to the front desk and handed back the brushes. When I finished I saw that Shawn was awkwardly standing there. "umm Mia I was wondering if you would like to hmm you know..."
"What am I supposed to know?" He looks cute when he is nervous.
"Want to go out with me sometime?" I pretended to think the whole thing just to make him more nervous. When I was done torturing him I said "Of course actually there is one art museum I am dying to visit we can go together so I don't go there alone"
He nodded "I'll call you okay?" I nodded said goodbye and returned to the elevator.
_________________________________
He did call me. We kept talking almost all night. Today we will go to central park he said he will give me a tour. I'm excited people say central park is breathtaking.
The doorbell interrupted my thoughts. It must be him. I ran to the door before someone in my abnormal family did it but you know luck and I, we don't get along. My mother opened the door...
"You are Mia's friend, aww you are so cute come in I want to take a picture of you both."
Can Earth swallow me in this very moment?
Mom took the picture and we headed to the elevator. "I'm sorry my mom just... Um she likes to takes pictures" Shawn smiled. "It's alright send it to me by the way"
I nodded "when we return I'll ask her to send it to me."
