Hello everybody!
I'm ashamed to admit...that the year 2012 was the year in which I saw Rent for the first time. A girl my age, you'd think I would have heard of it before (even though I'm not American or English)

Anywhoo, I decided to try a story. ^^ that's why this chapter is so short. It's a test to see if people will like it. so if you like the idea, please Review!

Rent is now one of my favorite Musicals ever :) I love the story and each character is so powerful.
Now this story will contain an OC. Angel is no longer with us in the story (she will be mentioned of course!)

Disclaimer: I don't own Rent, or any of the cast members (Broadway or Movie cast) I do own my OC and anything else you don't recognize.

Enjoy!

P.s: the story takes place a few months, where 'RENT' ended.


Chapter 1

A girl for mark

"How about that girl…?" Roger pointed to the northeast. Mark rose from the barstool and looked in the direction Roger was pointing at. A girl with dark brown curls, wearing a leopard printed dress. She took a sip from her cocktail as her eyes scanned the room. Mark punched Roger on the shoulder," ha, ha very funny Roger."

"Come on, you haven't been with a woman since…" Roger thought for a moment," I can't even remember."

"What's with the jokes!" Mark complained while dramatically throwing his hands up in the air.

Roger grinned as he continued to scan the room when a woman caught his eye. He pulled Mark close and pointed, "That one."

Mark adjusted his glasses and narrowed his eyes. After a few seconds he shook his head," No."

Roger arched an eyebrow," No? Are you kidding me?"

"Be serious, she's way out of my league…besides every girl I've ever dated looses interest as soon as they meet you."

Nervously Roger scratched the back of his neck, Mark had a point and Roger hated that. The worst thing was that it's not even his fault. He was always polite to Mark's girlfriends, apparently that was all they needed to flutter their eyelashes at him and ignore Mark.

"Only one way to find out…" Roger said.

"Forget it. I'm staying right where I am." Mark replied.

"That's fine with me." And with that Roger walked away, leaving a confused Mark next to the bar.

Normally Roger wouldn't approach a total stranger, especially now that he had Mimi, but in his mind this was the only way to figure out if this girl was any worth of his roommate and best friend.

The girl Roger had spotted was still sitting in the same place. She moved a strand of light brown hair behind her ear and checked the watch on her wrist. Roger took a deep breath and stepped towards her.

"Excuse me, is this seat taken?" He smiled at her when she looked up, waited then she shook her head.

"You can take it, if you want." She replied with a slight British accent.

Her eyes widened as Roger sat down across her. Apparently she thought he wanted to take the chair.

For a minute Roger just sat there and the woman just smiled, but her eyes scanned the room. This idea sounded so much better in his head.

"Are you waiting for someone?" he asked her.

"I'm not sure…" she answered.
Roger frowned," someone stood you up?"

The woman checked her watch again," it's been an hour, so…I guess it qualifies as being stood up." She sighed.

"I'm sorry." Roger said honestly.

She shrugged," it's alright. It only means he wasn't worth my time." A weak smile formed her face and she stood up.

"Wait!" Roger exclaimed," would you like to stay? Have a drink with me and my friend?"

"Your friend?"

Roger stood up and pointed towards Mark," the blond guy with the glasses."

He grinned as he saw her mouth turn into a smile when she laid her eyes upon Mark. She turned her head to him," you know…why not?"

"I'm Roger." Roger said extended his hand.

"Olivia." She shook his hand.


Mark gave a small smile when he noticed Roger coming his way followed by the girl Roger had pointed out to him. He cleared his throat and took a quick sip of his drink.

He swallowed the liquid just in time as Roger stepped in front of him.

"Mark, meet Olivia. Olivia, this is Mark," Roger smirked at his best friend as he moved the girl in front of him.

"N-nice to meet you Olivia," Mark said, feeling very nervous all of a sudden.

Olivia smiled," likewise."

"I invited her to have a drink with us."

"Oh?" Mark exclaimed," your friends left?" he asked.

"My date never showed up…" Olivia replied.

"That…that really sucks," Mark said," the guy is an ass, that's all I can say."

"At least now you get to hang out with us." Roger laughed and he head up to the bar to order three drinks.

As he waited he turned around and saw Mark and Olivia talking with each other. She threw her head back and laughed, completely different how she appeared a moment ago. Roger would be lying to himself if he didn't admit that he found her a pretty woman. Two small hands suddenly covered his eyes.

"Guess who baby?" a warm voice spoke.

Roger smiled and turned around in gazed into the eyes of Mimi. Her eyes moved to the three glasses on the bar.

"You were expecting me?" she said with her wide smile.

"No, but I can fix that." Roger replied and ordered another drink.

In the meantime Mimi let her eyes wander the room and they stopped on Mark who had a woman by his side.

"Is she the third drink?" the brunette nodded towards Olivia.

"She sure is." Roger handed Mimi two drinks and together they walked towards Mark and 'the third drink'.
