"He's your new roommate.My apology if I didn't leave any note last night."Ms.Bridgett apologies with her sweet closed eye smile as I just let it slide and shake my head in respond.
Ms.Bridgett was an old lady around in her 70's and doesn't have any family neither a husband for herself.She would usually would wear her long dresses and she also wears a glasses to support her from the bad eyesight she had since she was a kid and she already has white strands on her hair,but she still smells good than any old woman and mens around I saw around.
"I should've not acted like that."I said while scratching the back of my hair and looked at my new rommate.
My roommate was indeed tall and he's even taller than me about 5-10 centimeters if I can get that right.He has white skin,light blonde hair and green eyes he's wearing a black hoddie with black long jeans and a pair of white sneaker shoes not to forget the white mask he was wearing from the beginning up until now.
'Why don't he just take off that mask? My apartment doesn't even smell.'I thought as he suddenly cleared his throat.
"If you're thinking why do I wear a mask and wouldn't just take it off,it's not because your apartment smell or anything I just wear it without any valid reasons."He said which I just nod my head as respond.
"I can say that both of you would get along.I hope you boys would have a good night and dinner if you haven't yet.You have the keys,right dear?"Ms.Bridgett asked my new roommate as he nods and let Ms.Bridgett kissed him in the cheek as she did the same to me before leaving the apartment and I then got engulf by a silent atmosphere with him.
"So~I'm Daniel Lee,you can call me Dan--"He cut me off.
"I don't care what's your name and I'm gonna call you whatever I want roomie.So,I'm just gonna head to my room now."He said and with that he left me alone in the living room and proceed to his room.
I could feel a twin of veins just popped out from my forehead from the rude trait that I got from a new person especially with a new roommate.
"Well,as a welcome I should make something for him,don't wanna make any bad relationship with a roommate."I sighted and went to the kitchen as I wash my hand first before proceeding on making some beef stew tonight.
~~~
I then placed two plates on the counter and two glass with pairs of fork and spoon into our plates and put the tissue box between our plates and then took out the juice out of the fridge and I could smell the aroma of beef stew.
"I could really become a chef."I joked to myself and wipe my sweats away.
My foster family do recommend me to become a chef,but I choose the Arts and Design Tracks since it inspires me when I was still a kid and I'm also good at arts but still upgrading and learning on the design though,but I'm sure I'll get good on it later on.

"Are you cooking beef stew?"Speaking of the devil my rude roommate finally came out from his room and went to sit right away into the stool chair as I turned around only to get freeze myself like a statue leaving into an eye widened towards him.
He might be attractive earlier,but right now without his hoodie on only a plain orange shirt and without the mask he was more attrative and more handsome than me which kind of frustrates me inside.
'How blessed is this guy? I could say that if he has the same personality as me,girls would be all over him.'I thought as he raises a brow and cleared his throat which wakes me up from my senses.
"Sorry 'bout that."I said as I give him the plate of rice and the beef stew which he then helped me to get some beef stew on my bowl since he was more closer to it than me as we then started to eat our dinner in silence.
'Why this guy wouldn't open any topic to commmunicate with me? I mean,random new roomate would go talk and open some topics to communicate with their other roomate.'I thought as he then stood up and drink the glass of water.
"Sleeping already?"I asked as he stop from his tracks and speak without looking back at me.
"Nah,I'm gonna continue on my job tonight."He said and with that he then went inside his room and I could hear the twitching of the lock inside of his room.
"H-He's quite mysterious one.."I mumbled out as I sighted and started to clean the dishes.

*PHONE RINGS*
I received a message from my friend Caesar that he was at bar not that far from my apartment building with girl on him already and another single notification from the dating app that I downloaded a week ago and some random girls started adding me into their chat and send some things like their own pictures in a portrait with anything they do on.
I replied Caesar's message with a 'I'll be there in 5 minutes.' and then changed into blue sweater with white stripes on each arm's sides and a grey sweat pants with a pair of red shoes and black cap on with my wallet and phone on the pocket before leaving the apartment without telling my roommate where am I off to since he's busy with his 'work tonight'.
~~~
I finallly arrived at the destination through walking than using my car and the place was on the small bar back at the convenience store's building it was full of male and female making out on the corner and some garbages were on the ground which leaves a nasty smell as I covered my nose using my right elbow while heading towards to the main door and the single guard immediately let me in inside since their bar accept 17 years old and above.
*CLICK*
"Yo Daniel~!"It was indeed Caesar and from his looks he's almost fully drunk as I went to their table and sat beside him while a single chick accomapnied his side flirting while Caesar was chuckling at her actions and I just rolled my eyes.
"So,why did you call me out? I did told you that I won't be coming tonight earlier at school."I said as he apolgizes with a hilarious way as I hide my laugh at him.
"I just called you because I have a good news!"He exclaimed as he showed me the phone that has messages which were just new.
"You wanna meet up with a dude?"I said raising brow as he chuckled and nudge me by the arm.
"Silly,of course not! I meant,is that I finally got you a dude to meet up and for that guy I just texted he seems interesting and has the only similar with you that I can't find with any other dudes I know."He said.
"What do you mean?"I asked as I give his phone back as he then put it back on his pocket.
"You guys like comic or manga,I guess?--Whatever is that called!"He said.
'Is he for real? I mean,there's a lot of male that likes comic and manga and he only said this 'only common' that I have with this dude that he texted to meet up?'I thought.
"I'll give you his number and it's your choice whether you would spend the night with me in the bar or go home."He said as I chuckled at him and started to order some drinks for me as a single chick then accompanied me.
~~~
It was already 1 am early in the morning as I clsoed my laptop and put it back on the large drawer underneath the table before I stretch my arms and legs out.
"It seems he's already asleep.Kind of surprising to know that a male student like him wouldn't go partying on this time."I sighted then went out from my room heading to the kitchen to get some water to drink.
I decided to go out for some fresh air as I wear my black hoodie earlier and started closed the door before lasing my rubber shoes and started walking down to the stairs.
*FOOTSTEPS*
I could hear someones groan and footsteps as I slow my pace of walking down to the stairs since I don't want to get bumped with a drunk male or female on the building and get things heat up on his/her way.
As so as I met up-close the person that I could feel was someone drank it was my roomate named Dan..What was his name again? Whatever,it was just Dan.
"Oh,I thought I was right about you,but seems like you aren't a good boy."I said as I put my hands on my pocket while looking down on him as he started looking up to me with a drunk eyes and shaky smile.
"Oh,hey roomie~!"He cooed as I sighted and he then suddenly hit the cold hard floor which shocked me and helped him to stood up as he then suddenly chuckled.
"Why are you chuckling?"I asked as he looked at me with a crack smile.
"It's just funny that I got my face hot it went cold for a bit."He said which chuckled me of how idiot he was while he's drunk
"Idito."I mumbled out as I helped him to stood up and we went back to the apartment changing my schedule this time to help a drunk roommate.
~~~
*THUD*
I then gasped for air on how smelly and stinky he was especially the drink still on his breath which I then washed my face on the sink and dry it with a towel and went back to the couch where I lay him down as he easily drifted to sleep.
"What's wrong with his guy?"
THE NEXT DAYI started shifting my eyes to open from the sunlight that hit my face as I groan and stood up from where I slept and my back suddenly aches and then I just realized that I was drunk last night and ended up sleeing on the couch than my room.'That's explains why my back hurts..'"Here,have some black coffee for your hangover,I'll be going out to buy something for my stuff see you later."My mysterious roommate spoke as he put the mug on the coffee table beside me as he wore his blue denim jacket and went out."Arghh..Crap,my head hurts."I groan and hold my forehead from its aching and started drinking the black coffee that my roommate give to me.'Mmm..This black coffee taste good than mine though,not gonna lie about it..'I started to cook something for myself to eat before taking a shower and went out to the mall also to buy the mat
It's been weeks since I started texting this guy on the dating app and he was living on the same street as me.I told him that we could meet personally if he ever finish his works since he was all busy on this week and probably next week he would be free.Caesar recommended him weeks ago on the street bar on that night.And for some reason I like texting this guy than I would ever thought like there's something like a connection perhaps between the two of us that I,myself was nervous to tell anyone.And speaking of scared and busy my mysterious roomate whom never tell me his name is beginning to be more closed to me.I mean,he started not to be outside neither eating dinner with me and his tone is always cold like a scary one and he would rarely go out to buy something for his 'work' as what he says to me as always.'Does this guy really treat his roomates like this? What's the matter of his attitude anyway?'"
He then told me everything that he knew me ever since the day he stopped eating with me from breakfast,lunch and dinner because he was feeling guilty and wanted to go distant that's why he also decided to meet up this day to stay away from each other as I laugh hard about his reason."What are you talking about? Going distant did we ever do something wrong? I mean,you often tease and make fun of me but that doesn't count as a sin and you're a good one to befriend with my mysterious roomate."I said as he chuckled."But,you're name's really weird from Dan to Dandelion?"He said as we chuckled and I shake my head."My complete name is Daniel,Daniel Lee and not Dan but feel free to call me that if you wanted too also the reason why I named my acc 'Dandelion' it's because there are more of my favorites than the other flowers."I said as he nods in respond."Yeah,they are..But,tulips and orchid
"So,you really are that famous manga and illustrator!??"I exclaimed trying to make the situatuon easy for me to get as he sighted and light his cigarette which he then smoke it out and I opened the balcony's sliding glass door and sat beside him."Hey,can you answer me..?"I asked trying to call his attention out and it did work as he looked at me with the usual expression he would make whenever we talk."So,what if I am?"He said while raising a brow and I got the chills of excitement."You know I've--"He cut me off."If you're going to make me sign some of your illustration works then hand it over,I'll sign it for you."He said which I ran inside to my room and took my scratch notes that was full of my illustrations with a pen and quickly made back to the living room handing him the pen and scratch notes while sitting beside him as he then put his cigarette on the tray and look through a
"So,this is what you mean by favor?"I said as he hand me a latte that we just bought on a mini coffee shop inside this building on the 1st floor and we're going up to the 10th floor which he told me that floor he was assigned to work on with the others.Rain was wearing a business casual outfit which he wore a light green sweater and underneath on it was a long white sleeve to be seen from the sweater and a blue tie with white stripes on it and in the middle of his long white sleeve was hanging a white glasses and he also wore a long black pants with shoes.While,I wore a light blue polo button-down shirt with a white business jacket and a plaid pants with white a pair of white rubber shoes.*DING*We finally reached the 10th floor and when I was about to follow him where direction he was going he was bombarded with different people in front of us.There was two males and one female which probably are his co-
"Rain wake up!"I called him thrice already while shoving his shoulder just to wake him up.It was already past midnight and it's currently 1:30 am early in the morning when I just woke up early to drink some water and when I heard some noises coming from Rain's room I immediately went inside and thank goodness it was unlock and just to see Rain was struggling probably in his nightmare and I'm still inside in his room trying to wake him up while also on top of him so that I would be comfortable on waking him up properly."Crap! What should I do to him!? He's not calming down!"I started to panick which I ran outside of his room and full a glass of water from the sink and went back to his room and splash the water in his face.*SPLASH**COUGHING*"R-Rain!"I finally sighted in relief when he suddenly woke up from the water that I just splash on him and he quickly sit up
"Seems like you're getting attach to that kid."Sam said as I looked at him."What do you mean?"I asked as he showed me the paper that he was just reading."Why did you check these? These are the papers from doctor."I said while raising a brow as he then let out a sight."Don't tell me,you have some problem with your sleep again and the only one whom you follow to consult a doctor was that kid,am I right?"He said but I ignored him and put the papers on my drawer."What's wrong on choosing whom to follow?"I said as I went back to the monirot continuing my job to the male character."Don't tell me 'that' scene would happen again you already know if anyone would caught you with him the issue is gonna be at fire once again it's just not you that would be gossiping about it will also ruin the kid's reputation I'm telling you."He said as he went up to the door and open it
*CLICK*"R-Rain!?""We need to talk."Rain said as he sat on top of the box that I was trying to move it out."We can talk later,but I need to put back this folder since I only borrowed them by Victor."I said as he took the folder out from my hand and look at it."Oh,the places I thought you were focuisng on the clothes for today?"He asked while raising a brow as I scratch the back of my cheek."Well,Victor also recommended me too try out the places since I've been handling the clothes too much."I said as he sighted and give me back the folder."So,what do you wanna talk about,anyway?"I asked and started to move the box on it's respective area and the folder."Let me help you."He said as he avoid the question and helped me to move the boxes."You know you can just tell it out,right?"I said can't handle my
