"Hey! You! Girl!..." Called an unfamiliar voice. The lull of the bus motor had caused you to drift off, apparently. You slowly opened one of your silvery blue eyes and brushed some of your light brown hair out of your face, "Nwah?"
"We're at Domino." The Bus driver said harshly, simply.
"Oh," You quickly stood up, brushed yourself off, and grabbed your suitcase as you walked to the front of the bus. Yawning, you thanked to driver and pulled your suitcase after you down the steps.

A couple other people got off with you, but as soon as they departed the bus they were off, going somewhere where they were needed, wanted. You plopped down on the bench at the bus stop, unlike those other people, you had absolutely nowhere to go. You needed a chance to think about things. First priority, find a decent, but cheap apartment, second, find a school, then get a job. If you could somehow only go to night classes, then you would be able to work the entire day. You took in a deep breathe and assured yourself that this was the right thing to do. It was the only thing you could do. With that, you sprang up with new found energy and began your hunt.

You received a few curious glances, but you couldn't blame them. You grinned at your imagined self, a small blonde in worn out, tight jeans, band tee, blazer, in a cheap attempt to protect her from fierce autumn wind, and then, a briefcase that looked too big for her.

After a half an hour of apartment hunting, you were beginning to get tired of dragging around your luggage after you. And you hadn't even found anything yet.
As if answering your prayers, you noticed a bright 'HAVE ROOMS' sign, across the street, in the window of a small apartment building. "Yes," You breathed in a grateful tone, before running cross the street and into the building.
There was a woman sitting behind a desk in the lobby. Behind her was a door, with those reflective, mirror windows, you assumed. "Hi," You started a little breathlessly. You had never done this before, you weren't quite sure what to say. "I was wondering about the open rooms?"
She smiled and cheerily said, "Room 204 is open."
You returned her smile half-heartedly, "Can I go check it out real quick?" You mumbled and ran your words together,
"Yes, miss. It's on the second floor." She nodded towards a staircase to your right, with that same smile plastered on her face.
You nodded and mumbled a "Thank you," before making your way to the stairs, and up them. "God, I better be getting into good shape by now," You thought, pulling your case up the steps, both hands on the handle. It seemed to be growing.

Finally, you managed to get up on the second floor. It was just a long hallway, even numbers on your right, odds on your left. Room 204, was the third on the right and since it was up for grabs, it was open. You fell in love with the apartment, it was a little small, quaint, and it reminded you a little of Hediki's apartment from Chobits. There wasn't anything on the walls and just the basic kitchen appliances. You peeked around and found there wasn't a specified bedroom, so you guessed you would sleep in the main room. You found a tiny bathroom with a standing shower and a few tiny, sample sized, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash bottles.
You sighed, thinking it was going to be too expensive, everything would be too expensive, but you still wanted to see how much it would cost, so you dragged your suitcase back downstairs, which is much easier, and asked the lady if you could get the price of the apartment.

She smiled again, you couldn't help thinking she was a little too perky but you brushed it off. "Room 204?" She began shuffling behind her desk. She apparently found the paper she was looking for and smiled, again, "Its three hundred per month."
You swallowed hard. You had brought all the money you had to the city with you, figuring it'd be just enough to find at least a hotel room, until you got a job, but you had scrounged up about seven hundred dollars. You could rent this place and not get a job for two months without being pinched, but of course you needed that job for more then just paying rent. You sighed and bit your lip. "I'll rent it."
"Thank you. Let me go get the paper work." The woman got up and squeezed into the door behind her. You heard her opening some files and shutting them, before she appeared, still smiling, and slapped a pile of papers on the part of the desk in front of you and handed you a pen.

After finishing that load of paperwork, which was mostly, 'Sign here,' or 'Initial here,' and giving the Woman here first months payment, you lugged your suitcase back up the stairs. The woman had given you your key, and it shoved it into your pocket, before you could find somewhere safer to put it. Opening the door to your new apartment made you smile. This was yours and you were going to keep it. "I'll be here on my 18th birthday." You said quietly to yourself with a determined smile.
After settling in you noticed that there was a small balcony attached to your apartment.
You unlocked the door and got hit by a cool autumn breeze. There was just enough room out here for a small table and two chairs. You sighed happily, and sat down on one of the chairs, letting yourself relax a bit. The sun was warm and the breeze was cool, it all felt too good to be true…

You awoke with the sun in your face and your stomach growling. You went through your waking up routine of stretching and yawning. Confused, you looked around at your surroundings. You were out on the Balcony place. "Aha..." You muttered sleepily.
By now it was dusk and the cool fall air sent chills down your spine. It wasn't soon until your stomach growled again when you decided you would clean up a bit and go out to eat. That would be a good excuse to get out and look for jobs, too, and see the neighborhood. You stood, and stretched some more, before stepping back into your new apartment and closed the door behind you. You didn't know why you were so sleepy, but you figured you would get a nice long rest tonight after a nice warm meal. You checked the clock on your stove. It was almost seven, so you decided to take a quick shower. Your hair was still damp as you locked the door behind you.
Half jogging, half walking you descended down the stairs for the third time that day. You started singing 'River Below' silently to yourself. "I think I found a flower in a field of weeds..."

You bumped into something, interrupting your song and at first you thought you bumped into a wall, but as you looked upward you discovered that you were mistaken, blinking your blue eyes before they were met by warm amber ones.
"Ah-oh I'm sorry..." You stuttered while blushing and stepping backwards onto a few steps. Now that you could actually see the whole body owning those eyes you blushed a bit more. He was probably a little older then you with Dark brown, shaggy hair. He was skinny, but not too skinny, but his frame was very tall and… "Masculine," You thought as the tint on your cheeks turned another shade darker. He made you look smaller then you already were.
"No, I'm sorry…" He looked very warm, personality wise. "You have a lovely voice, I couldn't help but listen to it."
You blushed even harder, and you were just about to thank him when your stomach reminded you again that you were hungry, making you blush harder.
"Let me guess, you're out on your way to eat?"
You nodded silently, with your head down, you could'nt see what his expression was.
"Well then, May I treat you to some dinner?" He asked, smiling, you noticed, as you lifted you head.
"Do you normally ask random girls out to dinner?" you asked back with the hint of a smirk on your lips.
"Only the beautiful ones and you happen to be beautiful with a beautiful voice." He said making you blush.
"Oh, I bet you say that to all the girls you meet in the staircase." You grinned, tossing you head away. He pouted. "I think it would be pleasure, kind sir. And if it makes any difference, my name is C.J." You held out your hand in a mock-posh gesture.
He took your hand in his and planted a soft kiss upon it. "Herouke," He smiled, letting go of your hand. "And it's my pleasure, C.J."
He turned around slightly and beckoned for you to follow. "There's a nice little sushi stand down the street." He had on a genuine smile.
You giggled. "And here I thought you were gonna take me to a nice restaurant."
He chuckled as well.

You didn't know if you should trust him or not, though you knew you could probably defend yourself. But you couldn't help trusting his smile.

Soon after buying some sushi rolls from the stand, you and Herouke went walking in a silent park. By now the sun was reduced to just a golden orb sitting barely above the horizon.

"So," You said licking your fingers after finishing a roll of veggie-sushi. "I guess I should pay you back now." You started digging through your pockets for your wallet.
"No-no. It's a gift for actually not running away when I told you, you're beautiful." He said with his hand on your shoulder. You giggled and playfully punched him in the arm,

"You're so weird." You both wandered around the park for a little while longer, you asked him questions about the neighborhood, about everything, and he patiently answered them. "It's nice to talk every now and then," You thought to yourself as you looked up into his amber eyes.

Monstahhchan: After I finished this, I sort of realized that you don't really have an apartment, more like, a hotel room. XD
Seto: That's what you get for never getting out in the real world.

Monstahhchan: ...meanie :(
