Cry's POV

On my way to work i pass the mayors home. I saw a window open, and his son has his head out. He has bright blond hair like his father, but kind blue eyes instead of cruel. I pause for a moment. He notices me and calls out.

"H-hey!"

"Hi?" i asked. Why would he talk to me?

"I'm kinda sorry about my dad." he says. Him? Sorry?

"I-ok?" i call. He smiles.

"Would you like to hang out sometime? In Poor Town? If we hang here i'll get in trouble."

"No kidding." i muttered. But i nod. His smile broadens.

"Great! See you after work!" he goes back inside. He works too? I shrug and continue on. What did it matter, i thought.

(I honestly can't make present-tense work for shit like Gabby can. Sorry if i switch to past-tense now and then, thanks)

Felix's POV

I throw on my postman outfit and grab my bag, rushing out the door. I pass many people that wave, and only one person calls "Postman! Oh Postman!" i stop and go up to the lady.

"This is for Mr. Mundo, apartment 17, Rich Town. 'I will not be coming tonight.' Repeat." i did, and she gave me thirty cents and sends me on. I rush past several apartments before stopping at 17. I knock gently, and a few moments later Mr. Mundo answered.

"From Ms.Staphan, apartment 10, 'I will not be coming tonight'." i repeat to him. He smiles.

"Thank you. No Reply." he said, giving me another thirty cents. I wave goodbye and rush off. What a good start to today!
