When I got to the apartment I went straight into my temporary bedroom. I grabbed my suitcase and pulled it up onto my bed. The suitcase that I had pulled up was the one from my burnt down apartment, because I didn't pack the aperture science tee in my holiday suitcase. I was searching through my suitcase, I pulled out all 10 of my cosplay outfits and hung them up one by one in the small wadrobe. I don't want them to get creased or ruined, for Layla's sake. I let a single tear role over my cheek and fall to the floor. I continued looking through the suitcase to find my tee. As I dug my hand through the pile of clothes I felt something hard. I picked it up and took it out of the suitcase. It was a picture frame. It was facing the wrong way up so I turned it over, but I immediately regretted my decision. It was a picture of me, Layla, Ellie and Summer. We were at the beach a couple of years ago when it was taken. Ellie is far on the left, then it's Layla, then me and then summers on the far right. We all had our arms around each others shoulders and we were laughing. I sunk down the side bed. I held the picture to my chest and hugged my legs to keep the picture in place. I let one tear escape, and I just couldn't hold the others in, so I let all of the others flow down my cheeks.

"Oh Raquel." I said looking up at the ceiling. I must've sat like that for about and hour, because the next time I looked at the time, it was 6:00pm. I quickly jolted up and put the picture back into the suitcase where I had found it. I threw all of the clothes out of the suitcase and then found the tee. I took my dance clothes off and put the t-shirt on with some black leggings. I was about to put my clothes back in the suitcase when I noticed my old rainbow heelies. I took my heelys out and put them on. I then put the clothes back into the suitcase and walked out into the front room, well rolled. I rolled past Gavin on the couch and started singing. "They see me rollin', they hatin'." Gavin just laughed at me.

"You're still the little kid that I know and love." Gavin chuckled. "So why have you got shoes on, are you going anywhere?" Gavin asked.

"First of all, these are not shoes, these are heelys." I said pointing to my heelys. "And yes, I'm going to Rays to play video games." I continued.

"Well it's a bit nippy outside, you might wanna wear a hoodie or something." Gavin said, being the over caring brother that he is.

"Yeah, I will, thanks Gavers!" I chirped ruffling his hair. I walked to my temporary room and grabbed my Halo hoodie. My hoodie had master chiefs helmet on the back with hello kitty's now on the left side of the helmet, the same way as hello kitty wears it. Bellow that it said in white letters, 'Halo Kitty.' It was so cute and nerdy, I loved it. On the front of the hoodie it said, 'UNSC,' on the left side. I pulled the sleeves down and then rolled back out to Gavin, humming the song that I was singing a couple of minutes ago. I sat on the sofa and watched, 'Pokemon, the indigo legue,' with Gavin on Netflix until there was a knock at the door. I put my phone in my hoodies pocket before answering the door. I opened the door and Ray was standing there in his, 'going cakeless,' t-shirt, a pair of oldish jeans and some black trainers. "See ya Gavin." I called out to Gavin.

"Yeah see ya Jess, don't get back to late, I won't be able to stay up forever." Gavin called back. I walked out of the door and then closed it.

"After you." Ray said holding out his arm that was pointing down the corridor.

"Gladly." I smiled. I ran a little to pick up speed and then I rolled on the wheels of my heelys down the corridor.

"Hey, wait for me!" I heard Ray call from behind me. I just laughed and rolled even faster down the corridor.
