Lynnon-" Master Imai!~"
(Lynnon runs down the house still in PJs; She slides right in front of the door to Ezekiel's room. Without asking, she opens the door and barges in to see Ezekiel still asleep. She stands at the foot of the bed and surrounds her mouth with her hands to project her voice forward)
Lynnon-" MASTER IMAI!"
(Finally, she hears him grunt and sits up. His hair looked beautiful though it was messy)
Ezekiel-" What~"
(Ezekiel grunts his response. Lynnon dramatically turns sideways and faces Ezekiel while putting one hand on her hip and one hand making the number 1 with her finger)
Lynnon-" I, your lovely housemate, has left you a gift in the kitchen to celebrate my one month of living here"
(Lynnon the.quickly faces forward and bows)
Lynnon-" Come have breakfast with me, Master Imai"
Ezekiel-" Why the hell do you give me that name this morning? Don't call me that"
(Lynnon giggles and skips out the room. Ezekiel lets out a sigh before getting up and walking to his bathroom. He brushes his teeth and washes his face before walking out to see food set at the table)
Ezekiel-" When could you cook?"
(Ezekiel looks down at the bowl and sees oatmeal with granola, almonds, blueberries, and bananas nicely laid on top. He and Lynnon both sit down)
Lynnon-" I've always had to make my own food over in Texas. I can make food but the meals are always very simple"
Ezekiel-" You're only 18. Your parents didn't cook anything for you?"
Lynnon-" Well my Dad's an asshole. So is his girlfriend"
Ezekiel-" Mom?"
Lynnon-" My mom died a year ago"
(Lynnon stares blankly at the table as she puts another spoonful of oatmeal into her mouth. She hears Ezekiel's spoon clank into the bowl before she confusing looks up and sees him surprised and guilty)
Ezekiel-" I'm... so sorry"
Lynnon-" Don't feel bad. It's ok. I can tell you more if you really want to know"
Ezekiel-" I don't want you to feel obligated to"
Lynnon-" I'm totally fine with telling you"
(Ezekiel looks at Lynnon in worry)
Ezekiel-" Ok..."
Lynnon-" Well about two years ago my mom was diagnosed with Lung cancer. It made sense cause' she smoked a lot when she was around our age. Well, your age"
Ezekiel-" I'm only 20"
Lynnon-" Exactly"
(Ezekiel rolls his eyes but continues to listen and get serious afterward)
Lynnon-" So a bit after she got diagnosed, I found out that my Papi was cheating on her with another woman. I was so mad at him. I still am really and not only for leaving my Mami but acting like I wasn't his daughter anymore once he started to pay more attention to his new girl and her kid. I have nothing against her kid but I honestly have a bit of anger towards him for taking my Papi away from me and my Mami. So anyway, I found out that he was cheating and he was actually really open about it, just not in a good way. He didn't care that I knew cause he knew that wouldn't tell my mami, which I didn't. I didn't want to put more stress on her, and it was good I didn't because a week after that, we found out that her treatment wasn't working. I just knew that she was going to be gone at some point so I couldn't do anything but prepare. She lived for another year or so but then she just... died. She always wanted me to follow my dreams and I do with skating and art but on top of that, she had always dreamed of me going and being successful in college. That's why I'm taking college here and I'm really trying my best. Though you may be cold and annoying sometimes, I appreciate what you and your family have done for me here. I thought making breakfast for you might help say thank you"
(Lynnon looks forward and she and Ezekiel stare into each other's eyes for a second. Ezekiel was speechless. Before either of them could say anything, a ringing comes from Lynnon's phone in her pocket. The sudden ringing startled Lynnon)
Lynnon-" I-I'll be right back"
(Lynnon gets up and grabs her phone from her pocket and answers as she walks to the hall. After she leaves, Ezekiel covers his mouth and his own eyes enlarge. Underneath his hand, Ezekiel was slightly flustered)
Lynnon-" Hello?"
Nana-" HELLO?!"
Lynnon-" Oh! Nana~ Heyy~~~~"
Nana-" Don't hEy me. You've barely called me"
Lynnon-" Well I've texted. Plus I'm too busy with University projects"
(Nana sighs)
Nana-" I still can't believe that you're friends with a celeb's kid"
Lynnon-" Two actually"
Nana-" What?"
Lynnon-" I'm friends with both her kids"
Nana-" I've only heard you talk about Mei. Who's the other?"
Lynnon-" Well I wouldn't really say I'm friends with him but-"
Nana-" Him?"
Lynnon-" Nana. Please don't go all jealous now. We're literally across the world from each other and I never liked you in that way"
Nana-" Says the one who kissed me at the airport"
Lynnon-" Did you not hear me correctly? It was a one-time thing. It was more like a goodbye kiss than an I like you kiss"
Nana-" mhm"
Lynnon-" Believe what you want"
Nana-" Still. Tell me about this... boy"
Lynnon-" His name is Ezekiel. He's Mei's brother"
Nana-" What does he look like?"
Lynnon-" Does it matter?-"
Nana-" What does he look like for christ's sake?"
Lynnon-" Ugh. He's tall, has pure white hair. Blue eyes..."
Nana-" How old is he?"
Lynnon-" Oh my- If you're just gonna ask questions about him, just ask him directly"
Nana-" How do you expect me to do that stupid"
Lynnon-" He's right here. I'll give the phone to him"
Nana-" Wait isn't it morning for you? Why is he at your house?"
(Unfortunately, Lynnon takes the phone away from her ear before she could hear what Nana had said. She begins to walk out the hall and back to the dining table. She sees Ezekiel eating before she taps a button to transfer the call to facetime. Nana excepts and straight away he sees Lynnon with her hair half tied up and a white tank top just like she would usually look in the morning. Since they transferred to facetime, Nana was automatically put on speaker. Nana watches as Lynnon goes slightly out of frame and talks to Ezekiel)
Lynnon-" Ezekiel. I have a call for you"
