A Fresh Start

Chapter 18: Party

Pink?? POV:

I'm in Era's room, helping him dress up for the party. He's wearing a beautiful dress that is black on the top and goes to blue on the bottom. There are golden timing around the edges and he has a white fur coat.

The fur coat is fake of course.

"I can't wait for the party! It's been a while since I've met President Cross." Era says happily.

"Ya me too broski!" I tried to smile, but it just looked forced.

I cant believe Poppy would do that. I should have seen that coming. I'm so stupid. So stupid.

Era glances at me and sees my expression."Hey, Fresh."Era sends me a comforting smile."You don't need to be nervous. You'll be fine."

He puts his hand on my back. I nod. "Of course it will be muh radical glitchy broski bro." I said 'happily.'

Era frowns. "Is there something you aren't telling me?" He asks with a concern expression.

"What! Nahh. I'm rad yo!" I said. I don't want Era suspecting anything especially right now since we're going to the party in a bit.

"Why would ya think that bro?" I asked with a fake confused face.

"Just wondering..." Era says with an unsure look. It seems that he doesn't really believe me when I say I'm good.

'Why don't you stop thinking about me since you never started to think about me this deeply in the beginning?' I think to myself annoyed. I do dislike everyone, mostly because I am forced to love them, as siblings or romantically, pretend that I care for them, and have to follow in this dumbass story. Since they are connected to the story I do feel hate for them. I know it's not their fault and I know I shouldn't blame them, but I can't help it!

I can't help to hate everyone!

I want them all to go away!

I want to end this story one way or another. I don't care if something bad happens to them since they are supposed to be fictional and I don't actually know them. Era and Gen aren't MY brothers. I don't love Mara. I'm NOT friends with Epic. I am NOT obsessed with the 90's. I am NOT FRESH!

'I'm not Fresh' I rethink that.

'I'm not Fresh'

'I'm not Fresh.'

Why should I worry about what would happen to the story if I'm not actually Fresh? I never grew up here. I don't know anyone. I'm not connected towards anything. I have no attachment towards anything, right?

Sure I have started to like everyone, but what happened with Poppy, I can't help but disconnect myself from everything. Is this a way of trying to still keep myself instead of losing myself?

Clap

Era pressed his hands together. "It's time to go to the party!" He grabbed his purse and went towards the door. I quickly followed after him,"Gen is going to be at the party already since he's helping set up everything."

"Yup! Gen bro is the man!" I say.

Era smiles widely at me. He stopped at the front of the door. "Why don't you open the door Fresh?"

I was confused. 'Why can't you just open the damn door?' I think. I gave Era a puzzled expression.

I opened the door and I say a pink 2019 Volkswagen Beetle car.

My mouth was open. "Before your disappearance, when we were younger, you always talked about getting this car. I saved up enough money to buy it!" Era tells me and hands me the car keychains.
