It's finally the end of the day and I just want to sleep. The effects of crying are hitting me now, I've been slugging around for a while now. I place all my books in my locker since I really don't have any homework. I close my locker and walk out the school. Woohoo, going home. I start walking down the street but then a car pulls up, giving me a heart attack. I grab my chest and breathe heavily. 

"What the- Henry!" I yell as I see him smiling at me.

"That wasn't funny you could've killed me." I grumbled. 

"Nonsense. Get in." He says with that stupid smile and I get in. I forgot, I'll be residing with him. 

"Okay so where's your house?" He asks as I finish putting my seatbelt on.

"Just go straight til Orchard Road, make a left and stop at the 6th house." I say, thankfully I don't live too far from the school.

"I live 2 streets down from you." Henry comments. THIS KID HAS PRACTICALLY BEEN AROUND ME FOR YEARS HOW HAVE I SERIOUSLY NEVER NOTICED HIM?

"How have we never met before?" I ask aloud, much more calm than my outburst in my head.

"I really don't know." He says and then drives off. I turn on the radio and literally my song comes on.

"GOD DAMN! SEE YOU LICKING FROSTING FROM YOUR OWN HANDS WANT ANOTHER TASTE I'M BEGGING YES MA'AM I'M TIRED OF ALL THIS CANDY ON THE DRY LAND, DRY LAND OHHH" I sing rather loudly. What I didn't expect was for Henry to open his mouth and sing too.

"Waste time with a master piece, don't waste time with a masterpiece, you should be rolling with me you should be rolling with me ah, you're a real life fantasy" 

"You're a real life fantasy, but you're moving so carefully let's start living dangerously" I sing graciously.

"Talk to me baby, I'm going after this sweet craving whoa-oh, Let's lose our minds and go fucking crazy" Henry sings and I gasp loudly.

"Oooo, Hen say bad word!" I say in a baby voice. He laughs and stops the car. 

"Alright Char, no more bad words from me. Get out, get your stuff and just yell if you need help." Henry says, like he's my volleyball coach. I sigh, dreading going inside. I get out the car, leaving my bookbag and I walk to my front door. I pull the key out of my mailbox, worst hiding spot ever, and unlock the door. I step in and my eyes water. Dammit, gain control! I dash straight through the house, straight up to my room. Thank goodness I've always been plain. I open my door and go to my closet. I pull out the suitcase I have, already packed too, and open it. I grab my chargers and dump them in the bag, I grab my laptop and place it in the bag. I go back in my closet and get my cameras which I also place into my bag. I close my suitcase and leave with out closing any doors. I rush out the front door before I get too teary-eyed.

Once I'm back on the front porch, I take a few seconds to breath and after 5 deep breaths I feel fine so I head to Henry's car. I put my suit case in the back seat and sit in the passenger seat. I groan and wipe my eyes. 

"Okay she's in now, I'll tell her." Henry says pulling me away from my emotions. Who's he talking to?

"Alright, thanks Mr- uh I mean thanks Ron." He says unsure and hands me his phone. I take it as he starts the car, I look to see it's actually my phone. Wait a minute.

"I don't know anyone named Ron?" I tried to state but it came out as a question. 

"It was Markov, he called to tell you that your mother is looking for you. She actually tried to arrange a meeting but he told her that he's booked for the next week." Henry informs me and this time I huff dramatically.

"She that bad?" He asks and I nod.

"Let's go before she gets here please." I plead tired of her already. Henry complies and pulls off.

"Wait til you meet my mom, she's something." Henry mutters.

"Where are we off to now?" I ask, starting light conversation.

"Well I figured we could start looking for furniture and paint for the living room. I hope you don't mind but the kitchen and office are done already. The bathrooms are currently being done I guess. You now hold major say on what goes though." He says and I shake my head and muster a 'nuh-uh' sound.

"Do what you want, I'm fine with whatever. What room are you doing next?" I ask.

"No, your input counts to me so you have to choose some things. Uh as far as putting stuff in, hopefully the office room but as far as choosing colors and that stuff the living room is next. The only room right now that is completely done is the kitchen and the little closet with our washer and dryer." Henry says as he turns into Walmart's parking lot. He begins the impossible search for a parking spot.

"What do we need to get out of here?" I ask, opening the memo tab on my phone.

"Soap, shampoo, conditioner, tooth brushes, windex to keep under the sink anything else?" He lists off as I type and then think.

"Yeah but it's just a few personal things that I can pick up, office supplies too right?" I inquire and his face goes into shock.

"Oh damn, how did I just forget that? Okay yeah, we can get that too. Um, after this we'll go to Best Buy and get anything electronic we'll need. Do you wanna move color choosing to tomorrow then?" He says and his eyes go wide as he finds a parking space and races for it.

"Yeah, I think we're pretty full today. When will we put this stuff in the apartment?" I ask as he parks with a smirk on his face.

"Thursday, we should be done choosing colors tomorrow and I guess we can start on bedroom and living room designs." He says. 

"Alright sounds like a plan, what day do we move in?" I ask, damn I got a lot of questions.

"We shall move in either Sunday or Monday, sound good?" He looks to me for confirmation and I nod my head. We get out the car and walk up to Walmart, this should be fun. 

I grab a cart and push it inside. I walk to the left to and we get started on ev-a-ry-thang hunny. I just thought that to myself, gosh I'm weird.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We finally finish at Best Buy but we're heading to JCPenney's to get wash cloths, towels, floor mats and robes. I close my eyes just to rest. I open them and we're here.

"All right Char, last stop til we get home and sleep. Come on." Henry says and then yawns. I look at my phone to see it's 9 pm, I groan and get up. I slug up to entrance and into the store. 

"What colors should we get?" I ask lazily.

"I choose 4 you choose 4?" He says. I nod. I pick out deep red - for period use only -, a turquoise, light blue and dark green. I grab 2 of each and I turn to see Henry chose dark blue, gray, black and a lighter green. I see a cart and just dump the wash cloths in there, Henry follows my lead and we move on to choosing towels. We end up with red, blue, green, black, grey and teal colored towels. We completely avoid picking floor mats and just move on to choosing robes.

"Should we get matching robes?" Henry asks out of nowhere. I nod, that's pretty cool. He picks out a black robe with white lining while I get a white robe with black lining. Then we both get the same black plaid robe.

"Char, oh my fuck! They have onesies!" Henry says excited. 

"Where?" I ask eagerly and Henry points in the direction that they're in. We race over there and look for onesies! Woot woot! He gets a panda, wolf and bear. I get a panda, unicorn and pig. Then we both choose to get a regular grey hooded onesie cause why not? 

We walk cheerily and smiley-faced to the cash register. The kind lady does her job and our total comes out to $150 but then of course I save the day and pull out some coupons dropping it to the small price of $45.75 ,  Henry applauds me while I stand proud and flick my hair. The kind lady, of course, laughs at us and we gladly take our purchase up, up and awaaayyy to the car. We should have just enough space in the trunk for all of this and we do. We get in the car and head to Henry's home. We pull up and I notice that the lights are all off.

"The front doors are all probably locked so we'll have to go in through my window, come on." Henry says and we get out. I grab my bookbag and phone, I placed clothes and my charger in my bag earlier and I couldn't be more thankful for planning ahead. We walk around the house to a tree and Henry gives me a look. Wait, he wants me to climb this thing. But short people belong on the ground. 

"Umm how the hell-" I start to protest.

"Give me your book bag and try your best, I'm right under you." Henry reassures me and I shrug. I give him my bag and try to get a feel for the tree. I place my foot on it and it slides down. Oh boy, great! After 5 attempts I get up and now we're climbing. We get higher up and soon I see a branch leading to his window and a little ledge I suppose. I jump onto it and so does Henry. He fiddles with his window and opens it then crawls in. I didn't think he'd fit cause he's all tall and stuff. I follow his actions and close the window behind me.

"Woah, your room is cool." I compliment him.

"Thanks, bathroom is one door down to the left. I'm gonna go downstairs and shower so meet you back here in a few." Henry says and I send him a nod. I open my bag and pull out some shorts and a tank top. I read a bunch of articles that said sleeping without undies is actually healthy and I've been trying it out, not that I've noticed any differences but it just kinda feels nice to be a little free. I head to the shower but before I'm completely out of hearing range I hear Henry call out

"Char, your butt is cool by the way." I thank heavens he can't see me 'cause I know that I blushed, hard. My face is heated!!!!
