Changes Part 3

The Solar Lounge is downright frikin' awesome. Acoustic versions of all the hit songs play through the speakers and the people here all seem around my age. Cool! I walk to a table and some girl bumps into me. I stumble backwards.

"Sorry," she says to me then turns her attention to my right and says, "Daniel they want you back stage." The stage in the back is small but very lounge like. Once this kid Daniel is walking towards the stages back door 'Cat and Mouse' by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus plays through the speakers.

"They play RJA here?" I whisper mainly to myself not expecting an answer.

"Sure, all the time, though not many people love them here. You know them?" The girl who bumped into me answers my question. She replaced Daniel at the table.

"Uhm, yeah. I have all of their albums." I say sheepishly.

"Same. I'm Alex by the way." Alex motions for me to sit in the chair next to her.

"I'm Eli." I sit where she gestures me to.

"You new here?"

"Yup."

"Where are you staying?"

"If I say I'll probably move in a week," I pause "or with my luck three days."

She hes a questioning look on her face.

"My mother's a fashion designer." I explain to end all confusion.

"Ahhh makes sense."

"She's a part time bitch too." I laugh a little. "Make that full time." Alex laughs with me.

"What design company?" She asks.

"Linel's. It's high class and high corruption of the brain." I make a face.

"Ugh! I've heard the name. Can't bear the style." Alex is on the same page as me. "It's too pink and fluffy and ugh."

"Tell me about it." I groan.

"So you and your mom are polar opposites I assume?"

"Exactly."

"Thank the Lord." She laughs. "I'm a DJ at MARS."

"Really? How's the gravity? I hear there's none." I joke.

Alex laughs. "Its awesome."

"What about the atmosphere?"

"Even better!" She contains her laughter to explain further. "MARS is the only all acoustic radio station in N.Y.C. It stands for Midnight Acoustic Radio Station. Tune into 12.00 FM at midnight to hear Danny's show."

"Awesome." Alex pulls her razor bangs behind her ear. He hair is blonde with midnight black highlights. "I love your hair by the way."

"Really? Thanks." My blond hair is angled with side bangs and reaches the end of my shoulder blades. Its a dark brown. "I get it done by this guy..Hey maybe I could take you with me this weekend and you could get yours done."

"That'd be cool. He does highlights right?"

"Yup."

"Then I know what I'm doing." I smile devilishly.

"Ohhh, evil smile. What would that be?"

"Breaking mother's rules. Doing what I want for a change."

Goodbye Elinore Rose Linel. Meet me, Eli.
