Gerard Way is my landlord?

Chapter 5

I guess this chapter is a little boring and short, but oh well. Feel free to point out any grammar or spelling errors.

Also, should I create a playlist for each of the chapters?

For once I actually woke up before my alarm. Granted it was only ten minutes before, but still before my alarm. I groggily get out of my bed and stumble to the bathroom. I take a quick shower and throw on the first decent looking clothing that I find. I pull on my trusty old All star Vans and move to examine myself in the mirror. Black ripped skinny jeans with ironically enough a MCR T-shirt. I put my hair into a low ponytail before grabbing my phone, earphones, jacket and sketch things just in case we have another slow day.

I check into my shift ten minutes early. I throw on my apron, check that my name tag isn't crooked and join Jackie behind the counter. "Wow, look who's actually early." Jackie jokes and swats me with a dish cloth.

"Yeah, yeah I woke up early." I reply with a smirk.

"Because waking up at 11 is early." My colleague teases.

"It was ten to eleven okay." I groan.

"Wow, new record!" Jackie exclaims and throws her hands up in the air.

"It is actually." I grin.

"Gold star!" Jackie jokes and sticks an imaginary gold star on my forehead. I swat her on the arm. The shop's doorbell chimes and we quickly switch to business mode.

"Hi, welcome to Starbucks what can I get you?" I quickly ask and look up up to see who my customer is.

"Fancy seeing you here," Mrs. Jameson glances down at my name tag, "Mrs. Raylin." She flashes me a grin.

"M-mrs. J, uh, h-hi what can I g-get you?" I manage to stutter out.

"Please," She scoffs, "call me Mia, we're outside of the school building."

"O-okay, will do." I smile nervously. "So, what can I get you?"

"A Chai latte, please." She replies and hands me three dollars. "Keep the change." She flashes me another wink. If she keeps this up I'm gonna be a puddle on the floor before the end of the semester. I grab her prepared order from Jack and set it on the counter.

"Can I get you anything else?" I ask trying to get her to stay longer.

"No thanks, Little Raylin," she smirks and turns to exit, "have a nice day." Before I can reply she exists the cafe. Before I even get the chance to tell Jackie to shut up she slides over to me and raises her eyebrow teasingly.

"So, what was that?" She asks waggling her eyebrows.

"Not even I can tell you." I say trying to process what just happened.

"Is that you're very cute Animation teacher?" She asks.

"The one and only." I reply with a dreamy sigh.

"Oh, boy." She says with a sigh and rolls her eyes.

"I think you mean, 'Oh, girl.'" I smirk.

"Yup, there it is, you're already making stupid remarks." She groans and ruffles my hair.

"Hey, fuck off!" I giggle and throw her with a cloth.

To say the least I was on a high for the rest of my shift. And by the time I got home I was just on a happy buzz. I let out a little squeal once I get inside. I feel like I have the energy to paint three masterpieces, complete a novel and create two new videos. Heck I would even go as far as to say that I have the energy and motivation to pick up my guitars again. However my mood is kind of killed when I get a Whatsapp notification only to see it's from Sean again.

Sean: Ray, please.

What part of 'no' don't you understand?

Sean: It's important.

I told you guys never to speak to me again and I meant it.

Sean: Ray, we're your friends.

No, you lost that title when you broke the band. So please do me a favor and lose my number. Tell the other three that too. Goodbye.

Sean: You're being unreasonable.

GOOD. BYE. SEAN.

I block his number and delete him from my phone. I don't even know why I kept him around. Maybe I hoped I could start a friendship with my old elementary school friend again, but I guess it was false hope. My phone starts buzzing and I see Sean's number on the screen. I decline it and switch my phone off. I decide to vent by finishing my video for Burn Bright. The only thing that's still missing is the lyrics. So if I finish tonight I can post it on Youtube tomorrow and give a copy of it to Mrs. J.
