Her Innocence (jensoo)

Chapter 2: It Begins

After 6 Nauseating hours I have finally arrived!
Armed with a city map and my self confidence I am now looking for my
apartment that I have reserved ahead of time. My roommates name is Scar
what a strange name.

Apartments here is much more expensive triple of my previous rent but
no biggie I save all my money so that I can afford my rent for at least 6 months
and as for my food I did not think that far ahead yet. Maybe my roommate
can spare me some bread? Yep. That's how I roll.

After walking for 1 hour I have finally reached my destination. I entered
a three storey redbrick building that somewhat witnessed all the world war
that ever happened and went up to the third floor. Muttering sorry everytime
my trolley will make a noise while going up the narrow stairs. The inside of
this building is like going on a horror house. Lights are flickering. Cobwebs
and dust all over. I can hear noises that I am not curious enough to find out
what creature is creating that kind of noise.

Finally I've reached the third floor and looking for door number 6 is not
that hard because it is the only door that is painted with white paint there is
some chipping on the paint but who am I to complain?

I take a deep breath 3x and gather all my courage to knock on the door. I
knock 3 times and wait for the person to open the door. I here someone
saying "what" and "wait" before the door opened and hey boy I am not
expecting what I witnessed

Scar is a girl with pixie cut black hair with brown eyes. She has a nose
ring and she have tattoos all over her right arm. I know staring is rude but I
cannot help it. I did not expect that she would look like this. I smiled so wide
I am sure she can see my wisdom tooth and shouted at the same time I hug
her.

*weird side activated* "You are so awesome! Are you Scar? Oh my
gosh! Does it hurt when you were inked? Can I have one too?!"

I can see that she is startled when I suddenly hug her. She's like a unicorn
in my world. Very rare but in all fairness she hug me back. After 5 min of
me blabbering like an idiot I let go of her.

"Hi nice to meet you. Come on In!" She told me with a bright smile. She
help me carry my back pack and as I enter the room I look at the apartment
that I will be living indefinitely.

It is uhm. Animalistic? No not that word...minimalistic!
There is no big furniture just a couch on the side there is also a flat
screen TV. The kitchen and breakfast bar is adjacent to the living room and
There are 2 doors that lead to other rooms I think. The paint is beige in
color. Wow. I think my $500 per/month is not enough to rent this place.

I did not notice that I am gazing around the room with my mouth open
wide. I just heard someone cleared her throat to get my attention.

" Do you like it?" Scar asked. I nod my head vigorously and asked her "Are you sure 500 is enough for me to live in this place?"

"Yes. I am just looking for a room mate so she can look after this place if I
am gone on a trip or something. 500 doesn't even cover half of this rent but
I just want a companion to talk to actually. " she told me shyly
"AW! you are so cute!" I tell her as I attempt to pinch her cheeks but I
retracted my hands automatically because I remember that we just met
literally 10 min ago.

"I can show you your room. It is all yours. You can design it whatever
you like. "

She led me on the door that is near to the kitchen. The room is empty but
there is a single bed on the far right corner. Thats it. This room is so much
better than the room that I live before. I thank the lord for the blessings and
the guidance that he gave me.

I face Scar and ask her something that makes her laugh out loud.
"Scar?"
"Yes?"

"If you don't mind asking. Uhm. Do you have food? I am kind of hungry"
then at the same time my stomach make itself known. She look at my
stomach and burst into uncontrollable laughter.

I did not expect her to be amused by my question. What? I am hungry!
