Everyone thought we were Highschool sweethearts..But it was all though rose tinted glasses..
Darcy Moore, gets recruited for a Job in the Fashion industry recognising what was once hers. Atlas Mitchell,her first and last love since they broke up whe...
Once we reach the Apartment, Sofia unlocks the door and we're welcome with yelling voices. "HEY DON'T TOUCH MY SHIT!!" "YOU PUT YOUR SHIT ON MY BED!!" "Gentlemen calm DOWN!"
Me and Sofia look at each other before speed walking into the room making the noise. I see Myles, Atlas and an unfamiliar guys ,who I'm guessing is Dakoa. Whilst having their altercation of some sort, Sofia Interrupts them, "Hey guys! Our other roomie is here!!". The focus changes to me,and I awkwardly wave to them. " uh, hi! I'm Darcy Moore.." I say giving them an introduction, even though Myles and Atlas already know me
Dalia's Expression suddenly lightens up, rushing over to give me a hug. The scent of Orange blossoms and vanilla surround me. " OH MY GOSH,HI! You're the other designer right? I've binged ur design blog so many times I LOVE your designs!" Dakoa blurts out. "Hey! You're strangling the poor girl, let her go!" Sofia says pulling me away from Dakoa. They begin having an argument,as Atlas, Myles and I just stand there.
"How about we help you get settled in hm?" Myles says, showing a soft smile. I nod and he takes me to my room and my GOD was it massive! It was probably the size of my college dorm! It had a personal bathroom and closet which was massive. The bed had a beautiful backboard, and it was a king size. I loved my room. I sit on the bed, and lay down smiling softly. Myles stands by the doorway wearing a simple black shirt with black sweatpants. "I see you're liking the room?" Myles points out his expression still stone cold. "Yeah, it's quite nice!!" I replied sitting up giving his a toothy smile. I saw a glimpse of something in his eye. Joy maybe? I don't know. I roll onto my stomach and kick my legs. "That's good. Call me if you need anything?" Myles continues walking away and closing the door. I set up my bed room, putting my bedsheets and blanket on adding decor; adding clothes to my closet so it looks less empty.

I lay in my bed grabbing the remote, I try to choose a movie but I eventually fall asleep. ★ 22:57 pm I start to slowly wake up when I hear knocking at my door. I groan softly, saying a quick 'come in' before snuggling into the blanket. My eyes shoot open when I hear who it was "Uh,hey.." Atlas says in an awkward tone. I slightly poke out of the blanket, rubbing my eyes "hi.." I reply my voice raspy. I slowly get up, whining at the fact that I was still wearing my jeans shirt. "There's uh, food on the table for you by the way ,since you missed dinner." He says leaning on the frame and looking at the ground. I sits up rubbing my eyes and standing up. "Thanks I guess.. So by the way. Am I going to be your, uh, designer?" I ask looking at him but looking away from him slightly.The silence lingers before he answers "I don't know.. yet at least now I don't know now.". The silence starts to come around again again before grabbing some sweatpants and walking towards the bathroom. "Oh Atlas could you bring it here? I'll be in the bathroom changing so u can just sit one the bed an we can talk a bit if you want?" I say before fully entering the bathroom .When did I become so bold?
I change into the sweatpants before I enter back into my room. I come in to Atlas sitting on my bed awkwardly, with my food on my bedside table. I smile softly before grabbing the food and sitting on the bed criss-cross. I begin to eat it bit by bit and my GOD it was delicious! It was Hoisin Noodles with Cheesy Garlic bread on the side. The taste of the noodles lingered through out my mouth. "Wow, this tastes amazing!" I say, my cheeks turning slightly red. I look at Atlas who was looking right back at me.
I look away quickly, Atlas doing the same. And my God those pale blue eyes reminding me of every summer we had before we broke up. The laughs, the kisses, the hugs, the waves, the movies the sunsets. I didn't realise I was tearing up when I felt a tear roll down my cheek. I quickly wipe it away before Atlas could notice, but I was a beat too late. "Hey looks I'm sorry I'll just leave.." Atlas says looking away
"Wait, no it's not you fault. I just remembered something from a uh scene! from a uh..book I was reading!" I try to explain . God I'm a shit liar. Atlas looked at me unconvincingly but didn't press any further. I finish my food, putting the plate back onto my bed side table pulling my knees to my chest as the silence returns once again.
I grab my phone texting a friend, Cassidy who was a old friend from Middle school, about the wedding. She recently got married ,to her now boyfriend, Kai. They got married 2 weeks ago and are currently in the Caribbean for their honey moon.
"Hey remember Cassidy?" I say try to strike up a small convo. "Yeah, what about her?" he replies looking over at me now. " She's married now. And guess to who?" I say slightly smiling. "hm...Brax?" Atlas attempts to ask before I burst out into giggles. "What! No way, They broke up like 2 years ago because her kept flirting with girls on the street and turned full on psycho! Last time I heard about him, He got sentenced to 35 years in prison for 3rd degree murder. Turns out he was Gas lighting a girl who was 17 to send him nudes and, bless her heart, died by over dose." I explain to him.
Atlas sits there silently, his expression looked as if he was trying to piece together the pieces of a puzzle. "So that's why he always sent me those letters.." He mumbles but I was still able to hear it. " Wait what letters?" I question looking at him in curiosity. " He always put letters in my locker telling me to stay away from you and stuff, it was when we were.." He trailed off before he could finish his sentence. "yeah.." I say. The tension beginning to thicken before we got a knock at the door.
Hey Darcy! Oh! And Atlas! were having a little meeting in the living room as a self introduction or whatever. It was Myles' idea so we can, and I quote. 'Get to know each other and build a strong sense of friendship and trust'" Sofia says, doing a voice to mimic Myles, and just as she does that Myles pops up scaring her to the point where she screams. I burst into giggles as Myles and Sofia begin to have a quarrel. As I glance to Atlas I saw him looking at me with a smile but he noticed I was looking at him so the smile faded away and he looked away his cheeks tinting a light red. I smile before focusing back to the chaotic duo. "Hey! we'll be on out way there ok?" I said making Sofia and Myles pause their bickering before nodding and walking away
"Do you want me to go?" Atlas offered, getting up slowly. I signal him back down mouth full of food slightly smiling. "No it's fine, sit" I reply, shuffling closer to him. " I don't mind.." We look at each other for a sidewalk seconds before his gaze rips away from mine. I finish my food in silence, and place the dishes back to the kitchen as I stride towards the living room, sitting on the seat wing as it swayed side to side slowly. "Right. Since everyone's here,I have a few things to say,"Mylez begins "So there are 2 more people to the house as there 2 more rooms. I don't know when they'll arrive-"and just on cue the 2 said people burst through the door.
