Chapter Seven:

               I woke up to the smell of breakfast and voices in the kitchen, one voice I heard was no doubt Fasto but the other was unfamiliar but female. Even though I was extremely curious I really needed to shower, sighing I got up walking towards the vanity looking for some clothes. Finding some brown high waisted shorts, a loose long sleeve white shirt, a headband to go around my head, and a brown leather vest with some brown army boots. I made my way to the bathroom to take a quick shower; after I was done I let my long hair air dry while only applying some unnoticeable eye shadow. Looking at the mirror…I sure looked like a hippy, well it was the 70’s.

I walked towards the kitchen slowly not wanting to interrupt them, I quietly got started on making my food when for being the clumsy person I am I dropped my fork…the talking stop.

“Rose? Is that you,” Crap.

“Yeah just getting breakfast,” I responded back cursing myself with foul words that made its way into my mouth,

“Rose! Come join us!” Us ugh…. I walked to the dining room, met by a smiling Fasto and the girl from the picture I saw from the wall when I first got here. She looked at me up and down taking in my appearance…and smiled, okay then… I gave a quick grin as I sat down, digging into my food as they began their conversation again.

“Your awfully quiet today,” Fasto said, glancing up I was met with a worried look “are you ok?”

“I’m fine don’t worry,” I said I gave another look at the girl truly starting to think that she was his girlfriend, I mean who wasn’t entranced by her beauty, I was jealous of her long blonde hair compared to my dull black one, her kindly heart shaped faced, against my boring one.

“Hi, I’m Summer!” The girl exclaimed happily, great she was the sweet kind making me even more jealous of her because she wasn’t even mean,

“Rose,” I replied shortly as the syrup running down the pancake became even more interesting,

“I was just telling, Ape here that I was going to stay here for a while,” Summer said trying to make conversation… Ape huh? They even got nicknames…damn it how could I’ve thought that Fasto was interested in me I could never compete with that, I guess all he said last night didn’t really mean what I thought it did.

“Yeah, Summer will be staying with us for 2 days too short, it’s been forever since I saw her,” Fasto said with a gentle smile patting her hand.

“Excuse me,” I replied quickly, I got up from my chair walking fast to my room grabbing my messenger bag, and quickly as I walked out of the apartment, anywhere from there. I know I know it was awfully rude of me to do that, I was never that cold or mean to guests but I guess she struck a chord in me with how perfect she was. Sighing I started walking letting my feet take me anywhere, I was this getting to me so much I’ve been here for a short while and I had a purpose for being here not to fall in love or any of that… I really need someone right now, I stopped walking where was I, looking around it seemed like I was in Floating Stars Park in front of Record’s Heart how convenient feet . Pushing open the door a small little bell made a noise of my arrival,

“Hello, welcome to Records Heart can I help you with any… Rose?” Luke said surprised that I was there without Fasto.

“Hey, Luke didn’t know you worked here,” I said with a small smile

“Rose what’s wrong? Where’s Fasto?”

“Oh you know I left the house steaming jealous cause of girl there…I guess me letting off my steam took me here,” I laughed bitterly shaking my head.
