Chapter Nine: September and October

"Fall, the season that the leaves changes into colors, almost like how people changed."

September

"Man, what a day it has been," said Roxanna explained. She had blood-red waist-length hair, dark-pink eyes and a pale skin tone. For someone who is not only a bit cold-hearted and a hot-temper, she's good at being social.

"Tell me about it," Rose said, "So, far not only I have Math for homework, but I have as well History and Accounting. What about you Jess?"

"Well," Jess replied, "I only have English and need to write a page about myself for Home Economics."

"By the way how's your first day went?" asked Roxanna.

"Like my first day at grade nine back at Canada…nothing much really happened."

"Oh, okay."

"Yeah, well I have to get my homework done so; I don't have to worry about it when I get back from my job. See you later then." Jess said before she headed to the dormitory.

"See ya, Jess." Roxanna and Rose said.


"Here you go," Jess said as she place down what the customers ordered, "One green tea, and mocha late. Enjoy your drinks."

"Thank you."

Jess went to place the flat round tray back where it belong, and headed to another customer, picking up her pen and note pad.

"Hi welcome to Moonlight Star Café, can I take your order?" she asked.

"Yeah, can we all get strawberry tarts," said one of the customers.

"Sure," Jess said as she scribbles down their order, "Coming right up."

Jess walks way from them, placing their order for the chefs to make them.

"Jess," said a voice as Jess turn to see Karen. She had black hair with dark-red tips, and green eyes, "You are doing pretty well with this, but anyway I'm here to inform you about you days that you'll work." With that Karen show her all of the employers with times and the certain days that they'll be on.

"Is it possible that you can come here Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday?"

"Sure."

"Good and the times are 5pm to 9pm, but for Sunday it's 2pm till 7pm."

"Sounds like a plan."

"Alright then, your new shifts will start next week, and keep with you old one for this week."

"Okay."

Karen then left to get some more orders for the customers. As for Jess a chef call her out for the tart was done and ready to be sent to the customers. Jess getting the tray, places the tarts on it with forks, and headed to bring their orders.


The school was having a day where people can sign up for clubs, sports etc. Roxanna, Rose, Nicole and Jess look through the many clubs finding what to do after school.

"I may be interested in the Green Crew," said Rose, "I hear you can get easy community service hours just to help out keeping the environment clean."

"But did I heard that, they also have a job to remove the recycle bins from the classroom and take them back," Roxanna replied.

"I, um think so."

"Any clubs you guys are interested in?" asked Rose.

"I might join in the Book Club, and Young Chef's Club," replied Nicole.

"Me, maybe Stage Crew, Drama Club, and Debating Team," Roxanna answered.

"How about you Jess?"

"Art Club and Sports Club," was all she answered.

"Looks like its official then, let's sign up." All of the girls separate to go to the clubs they desire to sign in.


Jess was in her dorm room, finishing some English homework that she had to finish for tomorrow.

Jess had thought of her weeks of being at school and working on a part-time job. On her weekly schedule; for Mondays and Saturdays she didn't have much to do. Tuesdays and Thursdays she goes for her part-time job at 5-9pm. Wednesdays, Jess will attend Art Club after school till 4pm, to then later do some homework and get ready to go to work at same time. Fridays, she attends sports club, and Sunday she works from 2-7pm.

Jess felt it would help her be busy, and get to know some people in the clubs.

Stretching, Jess was a bit bored finishing her work so; decide to take a small nap.

Propping herself to the bed, she drift off relaxing herself before continuing anything else.

Fifty-two Minutes later…

Jess woken up from her nap it was less than an hour, as she check to see her English homework on where she left off.

Noticing she had to read a few pages and answer three more questions, she checks the time to see it was 5:42pm.

She had a lot of time, before heading out to get a bite to eat, maybe getting pizza after finishing her homework.


The next day, Jess was staring at the window as usual before school and Math starts. Her eyes gaze at the students doing some usual stuff before the bell rang. The boredom overwhelms her for she didn't have a clue what to kill the time.

"You're name is Jess right?" asked a voice. Jess turn to see the person who asked her a question, and replied, "Yes."

The girl was around her height, dark-red shoulder-length hair, amber eyes, and fair skin tone. She wore a pink off-the-shoulder top, jean mini-skirt, and PUMA shoes.

"My name is Aya Mitzubasha. I was wondering if you want to hang out with me and some of my pals for lunch?" she asked as she shows Jess her friends.

There were three girls looking at Jess, two of the waving while one didn't.

The first girl Jess saw had auburn, mid-back length hair, green eyes and fair tone. And she wore a black spaghetti-strap top, dark-red jeans and fingerless gloves and black runners.

The second one had blue waist-length hair, tied in a high ponytail, dark-blue eyes and wearing eye-glasses, and lightly pale tone. She wore a yellow sweater with a hood, lime-green capris, and white runners.

The last one was blonde neck-length hair, grey eyes, and a fair skin tone. She wore black capris, purple t-shirt, a grey sweater that is zipped half-way, and black runners.

"Why?" Jess asked.

"Well we felt that you feel a bit isolated since you came from overseas," Aya replied, "but do you want to hang out with us?"

With a smile, Jess said, "Sure."


Jess, Aya and the girls hang out at the school's bench outside near a tree to give them shad as they ate their lunches.

Jess got to know the girls names. The auburn-haired girl's name is Sakura Alvarado, the blonde is Anna Kumiko, and the one with glasses is Serenity Tsutashi.

"So, how is this school going for you Jess?" asked Anna.

"It's not bad, pretty cool in my view," Jess answered.

"Nice," said Sakura.

"You've have me surprise because I never much met a person that's different than the other girls," Serenity said.

"By the way, any guys that you like here?" asked Aya.

"Um, I haven't been thinking about them, because of school work and my job at a café. Even if I did think about them, they wouldn't be much of my type."

"Oh…" Was Aya could say before biting a piece of her sushi.

"But don't forget guys will eventually come into your mind, and need to think of getting a guy to date with," said Anna.

"That's true," Jess said.

"Hey! How about if we head to the mall after school?" asked Aya.

"Alright," Anna and Serenity replied in unison.

"I have to go to Drama Club after school," said Sakura.

"Jess, do you want to join us?"

"Why not, I'll come."


October

The days got colder and the leaves was almost changed into colors, and beginning to fall down to the ground.

As usual, Jess would go to school, go to her job, and do her homework, along with her clubs at school. Plus she hangs out with her friends.

However, the only thing that gets Jess on her nerves was staying at the dorms. Frankly, some of the girls were a bit annoying, as they would yell from conflicts, stress, or play their music loud. Jess didn't get enough sleep as she was use to before, and Jess thought she needs to get out.

Jess was grabbing her autumn jacket and backpack, locking her dorm door behind her going to school as always.

She walks by the bulletined board, but Jess stopped walking and walk back to it.

Looking at some of the announcements that were posted a few days she took a glimpse of one flyer, that might have solved her problem;

Roommate Wanted

Interested in living in an apartment building at 3462 Rosedale Blvd.

Here's your chance.

Contact us at 678-223-0956, for further details.

Or, talk to Aya Mitzubasha and/or Anna Kumiko.

Jess thought about it for a minute, but decides to talk to them about her joining in.


"You want to be our new roommate?" asked Aya.

"Yeah, but I want to know about the apartment and the cost for it," replied Jess.

Jess found out that one of their old roommates moved out, because she was moving in with her boyfriend for who she dated for three years.

"Okay, so the apartment has a bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, living-room, three bedrooms, and a balcony. My family purchases the apartment and spending 50 for the rent, so, with a third roommate, we pay the rest. However, as a roommate, we have responsibilities, from grocery shopping, to daily chores of the apartment, etcetera, and etcetera."

"Okay I'm in but how much is the rent that you family purchase and paying for it?"

"They had a good deal, since the person selling the apartment is their friend, so, it cost about $800 a month, but each of us has to pay $133.33. Are you interested?"

"Sure."

"Yay!" yelled Aya as she hugged Jess in joy, "Welcome to our flat, roommate."


It's been a week since Jess came into the apartment with Aya and Anna. Jess felt relax since she didn't have to hear anymore girls screaming, yelling, and partying in the dorms.

Lying down on the bed she was sleeping over the past few nights, she stare at the ceiling in thought before she sat up and looks at her new room.

She was lucky that her friends allow her to take the room with the balcony, even though they didn't want to deal sleeping in the cold during winter. It has a great view of the city, even at nighttime where the lights glitter like fireflies.

The room was a navy-blue, and the furniture was made of oak, the desk, chair, bedside-tables and the closet. The bed was against the wall and the wall was next to the balcony. The blankets were purple and the pillows were white.

Jess look at the book that she was reading, that she borrowed from the library. 'The Vampire Promise 1: Deadly Offer.' The image of the front cover showed a girl black hair, and wearing a black sweater staring at a tower with an open window seeing a man's head from the shadows. It was the only book that got her interested for now at the library, and since it's going to be Halloween, why not read a horror novel.

The book had a book-mark, where Jess read and stop, and 2/3 from the book and was close to finishing it.

However, she wasn't in a mood to read, but didn't much have anything to do. She didn't have work on Friday, so, what to do to kill the time.

"Hey Jess," said Anna as she opened the door in her room.

"Yes," Jess replied.

"Do you mind making dinner tonight? Although it's my turn, I promise Serenity to help her with her speech."

'At least I have something to do in the mean time,' Jess thought.

"Sure."

"Thanks Jess, I owe you one."


Halloween

"Guess who I am tonight?" asked Aya, and she twirl around to show off her costume. Her costume was a one-piece dress, with cob-web designs and a hood. She had make-up on her face making her look beautiful.

"A witch," Jess replied.

"But I thought witches were old and ugly," Anna said.

"No," Aya said, annoyingly, "I'm those sexy witches that you see models wearing in the magazines with the costumes and in those new movies. And what are you suppose to be?"

"A cheerleader," Anna replied. She was wearing a cropped-top with sleeves, a skirt, and pom-poms that all had blue, yellow and white. She had a wig that is pink-hair tied in two ponytails.

"Too bad that you weren't invited to the party Jess," Anna said in sadness.

"For the last time, I turn down the invitation, because I had to study for a test on Accounting," replied Jess.

A girl named Crystal was throwing a Halloween party tonight, and sent invitations two weeks ago. Jess told her while she gave one to her that she wasn't interested and have a test planned the day after the party. Lucky for her, she's not the type to hold down grudges or get even with her.

"Okay, we'll see you later, bye," Anna and Aya said in unison as they left out of the flat.

Hearing the door shut and locked, Jess thought, 'Looks like I have the flat to myself.'

She looks at the textbook on where the test was on, about Journalizing and Posting. She didn't have much of a problem, because it was simple as tying your own shoes.

She closes the textbook and her work stuffing them back in her backpack and closing it.

Then, Jess went to the living room, opening the television and finding a good horror movie to watch. She then spotted a movie that was titled 'Thirteen Ghosts'. Thinking it would be interesting she place the DVD in, and letting it play the previews while she went to the kitchen to get some popcorn.


Two movies in a half later, Jess fell asleep on the couch in a sitting position holding the popcorn in the bowl. The third movie made her went to dream land, then keeping her up into reality.

Silence fell in the apartment, until a sound of the door open and after a few seconds later closed, but it didn't wake her up.

Silence came once again…

"BOO!!"

The sudden sound woke Jess up spooked, dropping the bowl on the floor, Jess try to stand up and turn around to see who it was but stumbled to the ground.

Laughter was heard from her roommates, for they were the ones to scare her.

"Cheese 'n' Rice!!" Jess yelled, "I thought I would die and be a ghost for Halloween!"

Aya and Anna laughed but they eventually stop, taking deep breaths before they begin to say words to Jess.

"Sorry," they said, "but we had to do it because one, it's Halloween, two, its fun, and three, we want you to get spooked."

"Well good job with that," Jess said sarcastically.

"Okay, we are going to retire for the night, and enjoy cleaning up the popcorn," they said, "Good-night Jess."

"Good-night," Jess replied.

Anna and Aya went to their separate rooms while Jess cleans the popcorn she spilled accidentally.

'I really need to find a way to get even with them,' was all that Jess was thinking.


Chapter Nine is done, a pat in the back for me, DON'T forget to review. I got to go to bed and get ready for my exams. Good-night and keep in touch.
