[Turn away now before you know what you get yourself into, this section contains a lot of miserable events, with no happy ending, turn away now before having your day ruined!]

Roses are red, violets are blue, when I see this red ribbon, I always miss you~

In my hand I hold a red ribbon, one from the nicest, prettiest, full of energy and laughter, girl I have ever met, the girl that I had fallen in love with. She had a good family, a loving mother, a hard working father, and a big sister whose always looking after her. Her family was rich, I thought it was a perfect family, but there's always something that ruins it.

This story takes place a couple months after boy left, I was laying on the bed, lonely as usual, mom wasn't home, Aunt Minty was on a business trip, and I got kicked out of another basketball team. I was bored out of my mind, so I left the house with my basketball and changed up things, whenever I feel lonely I would usually go see mom, but it was the time of they where they don't let people in the hospital, then if I couldn't go see mom, I would just go sit on the swings alone, but today, I thought about trying to make a friend.

Other then boy, I had no friends, it was either because nobody wanted to talk the a homeless looking boy or because everyone thought I was weird in some way. I just would usually let them decide to think whatever of me, but today, I felt like making a friend. But it was much harder than a thought, there were barely any kids outside, and when they were kids, they were usually young adults who are smoking and doing drugs. I was about to give up and just hang out at the swings, or I would've had if I was paying attention to where I was walking. I ran into a open door of a restaurant, it made a loud bang and attracted a women who came out to see what happened. They noticed a bruise on my head and asked me if I was ok, I told her I was fine, but my basketball flew out of my hand and so I looked around, I didn't see it anywhere. I started getting anxious, where could it have gone, it couldn't have rolled that far. When I turned around I noticed another person next by the women, she was a girl, around my age, red dress, brown hair, bright blue eyes, and a red ribbon. She asked if this was my ball, I nodded, she chuckled and said I should pay more attention to my surrounding. I thanked her for finding and giving me back my ball, she nodded.

I saw a sign on the window, it said looking for workers, I looked at the women and ask she owned this store, she nodded, then I asked the girl if she worked here, she also nodded. I asked them what type of workers they were looking for, their eyes widen, they asked me if I was willing to work at there restaurant. I thought about it, there were two reasons to take this job, one reason was food related, Misty won't be home for awhile and I would run out of food soon so I should find way to afford food, another reason would be a relief for my boredom, so I accepted their offer. They were excited about my answer, then I asked them what my job would be, they told me, I was going to be a... maid.
