Hey you f*%k

Chapter 1: Hello.

Sals POV
So this is Addison apartments huh? It looks a little bit rough but at least it's somewhere. My dad just got done unpacking the rest of our things and moved them up to our building. It's been rough since the incident but we're still making money diligently. "Well I have nothing to do for now" I whisper to myself. I decided to walk around and introduce myself to people around the complex.

"Umm.. Hello my name is Sally Fisher but most call me Sallyface," I said to a woman who was mopping the floors. She looked up and jumped back a little surprised. I kinda looked away a little, I thought it was because of my mask "Oh! Hello young..umm... ma'am?"
"I'm a male" I said kind of half expecting that by now. "Oh I'm sorry, I couldn't tell since you have your face all covered up!" I laughed a little bit awkwardly. She was really nice, her name was Lisa.

After some casual conversation with her, she told me she had a son about my age and handed me a key card to the basement floor to go say hello to him. I thought I would drop by quickly after meeting all the other residents first, so I did.

After what was probably fifteen minutes, I headed down to the very bottom floor. I was expecting it to be a little creepy looking down there but it was actually surprisingly clean. After I found what appeared to be what Lisa's sons room was I knocked on the door "yeah?"
"Umm.. my name is Sally Fisher, your mom Lisa told me to come down here and say hi?" I was never very good at talking to new people, but this was a new town so the least I could do is try. "Oh, you can come in." I stepped in and he looked up at me. "Woah cool mask"
"It's a prosthetic."
"Oh shit, sorry man I didn't know" he looked at me a little confused but then his expression faded natural.

We talked for a while and he even showed me this really cool band and tree house he had out back of the building. He told me about how his dad just disappeared and how it was so hard for him since he knew his dad would never just disappear. I felt really bad for him. We had both struggled with loosing someone so important to our lives and I could really connect with him on that in a way. I knew we'd be friends quick.
