•Milan

I just wanted her to talk to me. We barely had a conversation since she's been here. She seems cool but she's being hostile.

After trying to get her to talk and she wouldn't. I let out a sigh.

"Fine..." she said which made me smile

"Soooo..." I said looking at her

"Well you know my name, which is Zion. I'm 26, I'm a security guard, obviously. Favorite color is blue and favorite food is anything with cheese even tho I'm lactose..." she said making me laugh at the last part

"I've come to the realization that all lactose people love dairy..." I said and she nodded
"Why you let me put cheese in your wrap??" I asked

"Cuz what's a wrap with no cheese..." she said making me laugh

She gave a small smile.

"What about you??" She asked

"Well my name is Milan, as you know. I'm 21, I don't have a job. Favorite color is anything close to pink and I love seafood..." I said
"Are you from here or??" I asked

"Yeah, I lived here my whole life. I moved away but I moved back a few months ago..." she said and I nodded
"How long you've been here??" She asked me

"Before I was born my parents moved, but after my dad passed when I was 10. Mom decided to moved back here..." I said

"I'm sorry to hear that..." she said looking at me

"It's alright..." I said

"Your mom must have good job cuz it seems she always on the go..." she said

"Honestly I don't know. My mom has been on the go since I was 10. She was never really home so I wouldn't know..." I said
"What about your parents??" I asked looking at her

"They are both passed away..." she said

"Oh, I didn't know..." I said

"It's cool..." she said
"How you and Lalani know each other??" She asked

"We went to school together. She was part of our friend group but she ended up moving and just moved back a couple of months ago..." I said
"What about you and Cam??" I asked

"I've been knowing that peanut head nigga since Pre-K. I know she looks skinny but she's a fat ass. She ate all my chips out of my lunch box. We didn't like each other but some how we ended up the best of friends..." she said

"Yeah that's how good friendships starts..." I said and we laughed a lil

We continued talking until we were done eating. She was actually cool. She was getting a little comfortable with me and we started communicating a little more.

*2 days later (Friday)

Today was Friday and it's so boring. Red and Crystal were busy. I strolled on my phone just thinking about what could I do. Oouuu maybe movies. But who will I go with?? I thought for a minute then an idea popped up in my head and I smiled. I got from my bed and made my way to Zion's room. I knocked on the door.

"Come in..." I heard her say

"Heyyy..." I said peeking my head through the door

"Wassup..." she said sitting up on the bed with her security guard uniform on

"What you doing??" I asked sitting at the end of her bed

"Nothing..." she said

"Are you bored??" I asked
