"Lexi! Get up!!"

I pulled a pillow over my face, wanting to stay in bed forever and shut myself away from the world.

Suddenly a sharp pain shot up through my stomach. She did not just sit on me!

"Char! Get off, before I tear your limbs off and feed them to the dog"

That's Charlotte. Such a girly name. I begged her to let me call her Char instead. She's Bi, so am I. She lives with me to save money. We both share the fees.

I felt her sigh, and finally get up. Thank god. She's a skinny girl, but when she really tries she can hurt you. Honestly, sometimes I can't stay mad at her. Her face is just..so cute! She can make innocent eyes like a dog.

"Fine, I'll just go have breakfast on my own. Such a shame too, I made so many waffles."

Her tone was all whiney, and disappointed. I was just about to say she was lying, but the sweet scent drifted into our room.

"Mmm!!"

I knew she was being super loud on purpose. I wouldn't fall for that. I was kinda hungry...ok no I was really hungry. Plus I wouldn't be able to fall back asleep. Oh well.

"I swear if you ate all of it, I'll rip it out of your belly." I said, walking to the kitchen.

Chat giggled as I took a seat across from her. I munched those waffles like my life depended on it. Of course, after I had drowned them in syrup.

"H - hey. .what are you doing later tonight?" She asked, playing with her food shyly.

"I've....got a thing with a friend. It'll only take an hour tops though."

I lied. I don't want her to get caught up in my business. It's a mess that I don't want her trying to clean.

"Okay."

I felt really bad about hiding everything from her, but I know it's better this way. If she knew, I'm sure she would understand.

I finished my waffles first, racing to the bathroom. I hate how our bathroom is in the basement. I guess it's fair though, considering it's only a one story house.

I did what I had to do, and rushed upstairs and got dressed.

A black and white shirt, with my usual shorts. On top was my regular blue hoodie, and to top it off, my black and blue snap back cap.

----

The day was normal for the most part. Just me and Char playing video games. I won a lot, she just got lucky...

We had leftovers from breakfast, for lunch.

I was in our room, doing stuff on my phone when I realised what time it was.

I knew they'd be mad if I was late and probably wouldn't buy from me again. I hopped out of bed, taking my phone with me.

I went downstairs to the basement and pulled up the poster.

It was a My Chemical Romance poster. It was hung up on a wall behind our pool table. Yeah pretty normal. Behind it was a keypad where I had to enter the password to open a small door.

Click

The door opened with ease, after the password was entered.

I climbed through, and reached the ladder. It went down a bit to the room where I kept all my goods.

The substances everyone wanted to buy.

I even grew some of it myself.

I grabbed a small packet, and shoved it in my backpack.

I quickly climbed out, and upstairs to the main floor.

"I'll be back soon!" I yelled, heading out the door.

I've done this alot. I'm suprised Char hasn't got suspisous. Maybe I'm just a good actor.

I've come up with a list of good excuses over time. Sometimes if a deal was going to tame longer, I'd say I was going to a movie.

There were a few passages in the neighborhood.

One statue in the park, had button close by. Once you press it a trapdoor is opened, it leads to a ladder. The ladder goes down to a tunnel which goes to the main meeting room. It's under the neighborhood fountain.

There's another tunnel in the apartment building's basement, which is also a laundry room.

They all led to the room under he fountain. The main place I meet with customers.

I usually take the tunnel under the lion statue.

I climbed down into the damp, dark tunnel. It took a second for my eyes to adjust to the new lighting, or lack of.

I walked slowly, making sure no one had followed me. I placed my hand over my hoodie pocket, where my pocket knife was. It was a good size, easy to intimidate people with it. Although I never really wanted to use it on anyone.

When I reached the fountain room I discovered it was empty.

5:33

They should be here soon. We're supposed to meet at 5:35.

I tapped my fingers on the table, quietly.

The old stone walls, cracked and mossy. Dim lights hung from the ceiling and every now and then they would flicker on and off. A few spiders crawled around. I hated those. Lucky I never had to stay here for long.

"Aha, right on time, are we?"

I smirked at the two boys, who walked in.

"Yes, I've got the money."

He pulled out a small bag, a few hundred dollars were inside.

"Perfect."

I snatched the bag, and handed them the packet of their order.

They both sniffed it through the bag.

"Don't worry boys, it's real as long as the money is too."

I chuckled, walking back through the tunnel.

Hey! Suprise! A new book!!
