Chapter Five

     Scott picked me up at the steps of the apartment around one in the afternoon. I need to clear the afternoon part up, because honestly I would pick up my 'date' at one in the morning. But at the same time, this isn't a date. It's just pals being pals. Strictly business, so I didn't want to make it look like I dolled myself up too much (although both the girls wanted me to). I just wore leggings, a Zelda shirt and some converse. It's completely laid back and screams, "yea I'm mad in love with you and want to make a good impression, but I'm also chill and don't care about you're opinion." On top of that, this is the first time I've left the house in ages, so if I go completely out with a dress and then have to go back in because I'm cold this day will be a complete disaster.

From what I'm guessing, he doesn't live too far away from here because he walked to our place. I think. There wasn't any cars in the street, so if he did drive here then I should probably put on some running shoes. Anyways, when he came to the door the girls had been behind the door the whole time we talked, literally screaming. "Is everything okay in there?" He asked. I sighed and opened the door, revealing the girls on the couch. Scott and the girls waved at each other awkwardly before I was too ashamed to stay any longer.

I shut the door and started walking down the street. "So listen," he said, walking after me. "These places aren't like.. insanely cool. It's just little places I go to keep my sanity intact. I figured you would like to see them too, you know, Incase they help you think." I smiled to myself about how thoughtful he was being. Honestly, if anything happens with us our love story will be tied with the Bee Movie for best romance.

I was about to keep walking straight (because where else would I walk?) when he grabbed my arm and pointed to an alleyway. He told me to go that way, so I said "Um no offense, but I have this thing about not getting Murdered." He rolled his eyes and said it's the first of the places. I knew this was too good to be true, because here I am, ABOUT TO LITERALLY DIE. But I followed him and said my prayers, hoping someone has already arranged my will.

He led me to the end and then to a different one and I stood, completely amazed. It was near complete blocked off from the street aside from a small sliver. Looking around though.. took my breath away. The entire alleyway was covered in different graffiti, and not just crappy tags. It was murals and paintings and portrait of people and.. it was amazing. "The city keeps this up as a sort of free zone for the artists to work in. I don't remember how I found it, but it's here and I love it.

Walked up to one part of it and traced the lines. I find it hard to believe that anyone could have done this with spray paint, it's so.. it's just stunning. I heard footsteps behind me and then, "My friend just texted me saying he needs my help ASAP, so I have to go. I'll walk you back to your place." It, of course considering nobody else is here, was Scott.

I told him to just go, and that if it's really an emergency then he needs to be there for his friend. He said he would text me later and then ran off. I walked home and contemplated life. When I got home, even though it had only been about thirty minutes, the girls demanded that there was more to the story than exactly what I told them.

I eventually got sick of them asking a million questions and went to my room, and then an idea struck me. I got on my computer and typed out everything that has happened with Scott so far. One day I might be able to use this in something that's... not trash.
