Chapter 4: Writer bond with Main Character

As Lilith slowly reached her hand onto the closet's doorknob someone called her outside, "Lilith, are you coming to the party?" it was a male voice, I bet it was Jackson. The guy who invited her to a birthday party.

"Oh. yeah! Fuck, I forgot about the party" Lilith replied.

Lilith quickly grabbed her leather black jacket that is on her bed and wear it. Lilith turned around and drag Ivy, "Come, Ivy"

and I heard few steps walking out of the room.

I cautiously got out of the closet and look around the room, my phone vibrated in my pockets as if a notification appeared, I pulled out my phone to read the notification

!! 1 COMMENT ALERT !!

"Don't leaveeee me at the cliffhanger, author! OMGGG, I LIKE THIS BOOK !" MidnightSunshine commented, I went silent for a minute. A smile tugs on my face.

"Thank You (:" I quickly replied in the comments. My Phone vibrated as if a new notification has popped up, I grabbed my phone and saw the new notification

"It seems like this stuff doesn't want me to be lazy," I said to myself, I tapped Accept and went out of Lilith's room. I walked back to my dumpster.

Shane saw Lilith waiting outside the dumpster, Lilith looked at Shane and stared for a minute.

"Hey, dumpster dude. How about you go to a party with me?"

"No," Shane replied.

"How about tomorrow? There are two parties that I'm joining though. One for tonight and one for tomorrow's night"

"No"

"Don't be boring" she said as she looked at me, climbing inside my dumpster.

Why did I make such a persistent main female character.

"Look, you better be grateful that I invited you. I pity you for always being here inside the dumpster with your floa--"

"Okayyy, Miss.." I paused, not continuing to say rebellious girl. "Miss Helper"

"but..." I looked at my clothes and they were plain, "uhhh but my clothes." I said, Lilith looked at me head to toe as if studying my physical appearance.

"Hmm, what party you'll be attending? Tonight or tomorrow?"

I'm still quite busy writing and I honestly want to relax a bit.

"Tomorrow" I replied.

"Okay and don't worry. I'll buy you a suit" Lilith said with a smile.

"S-suit?"

"Yep" she said, "Anyway, I have to get going. I'm late for the party. Ivy and the others are waiting." and I watch Lilith as she runs.

A party, me as a writer going to attend the event that I made, I just want to chill.

The sun is blaring, subtle laughter from children is heard. A sudden knock is heard on the dumpster. I groan as I heard it, I want to sleep after panicking and writing a lot of words.

"Hey" I heard someone outside my dumpster, it was Lilith's voice. I looked at the time on my phone and it's already 2 pm in the afternoon, I still want to go back to sleep.

"Get out, dumpster dude. Better go buy you a suit"

I groaned as a reply, "20 minutes, please"

Sudden sun rays pierced through me, I covered half of my eyes as the sun's rays hit my face. I squinted my eyes, "Can I sleep?"

"No, wait a minute... It's already 2 pm in the afternoon and you haven't eaten your breakfast?!"

I just nodded.

I felt a sudden hand grabbed my shirt, "Let's gooo, dumpster dude. Let's go buy you suit and eat breakfast"

"b-but" I replied as I get out of the dumpster against my will. Lilith started dragging me.

"You better be grateful that I helped you even you looked like a stray by living inside the dumpster"

My eyes widened and I smiled, even Lilith thought that I'm a stray. I'm glad I wrote a character development on her.

I looked around as Lilith and I arrived at the small town, few people passed by us. There were few cars, few people that rode a bicycle in the town. It was a quiet and clean town, a smile tug on my face as I remember how I imagine a quiet and clean town. I never knew that as a writer, it felt great to be able to stroll in your fictional town.

I'm embarrassed as I remember that Lilith treat me with breakfast and I'm having bed hair.

"Here we are," Lilith said as we halted on a store, a black-colored store with golden-colored trim, a sign that hangs by the doorway it reads, "Prep-Up, Gentleman!"

I looked around as we went inside, few various colors of suits and tuxedos were being dressed on a mannequin. I walked towards the suits that are hanging on a clothing rack. My eyes widened at how expensive it is, "150 USD?!"

Lilith walked towards me, "Grab that suit dumpster dude." she said as I saw few suits is hanging on her arm and few pair of shoes on her hand.

"But its too ex-"

"Just hurry up, try this too," she said as she gave me all suits. Defeatedly sighed, I went inside the fitting room.

"How about this?" I said as I wore navy blue suit paired with brown shiny shoes and style my hair on slick-back.

"Mmmm, another one."

"This?" I asked, wearing a brown suit paired with brown shoes and side-part my hair.

"You look like a professor. Next"

"or this?" Wearing a black suit paired with brown shoes and put my hair on slick-back with few strands of hair in front.

"Damn, you look good" Lilith said as she looked at me head to toe.

"Black is always the best color, let's buy that," Lilith said with a smile as she stood up.

As Lilith kept talking, a smile tugs on my face.

"Hey, are you okay? You are smiling like a fucking idiot" Lilith commented and laughed.

I laughed and shake my head in amusement, "yeah. Thank you for this.. uh.." I act like I don't know her name.

"Lilith," she said. "And you... are?"

"Shane," I said, the smile on my face is still intact.

My main character just compliment me, when was the last time I had fun with people? A smile tugs on my face from the fact that I just bond with my main character and I felt much closer.
