{knock...knock} the sound of someone knocking on the door brought Eula back to reality,
she whipped the tears in her eyes as she walked to the door, it had been four years since her mom's death but the pain was the same as back then
{Ricky what's up}
{hhmm I just thought to check up on you} he said as he entered the room
{don't take what happened at dinner seriously okay, Roosevelt is a little hard to understand but she is nice}
{yah I just better not get involved in anything at all, she didn't even bother to say a word to me since I got here I think that's my que to stay off and mind my business}
{that will be nice, I don't want an other party in Roosevelt drama}
{she is your sister shouldn't you be on her side}
{really her side na..ah! she doesn't want me getting involved at least she made that clear, anyways I wanted to get your number and remind you off our tommorow's engagement}
{alright} picking her phone from the bed, they both exchanged contacts and chatted a little more before retiring to bed

the next morning being Saturday, everyone slept in till 8 o'clock except Eula and Roosevelt suprisingly who meet at the front door at 6:30am
{Good morning } Roosevelt greeted Eula when she saw her
okay did she just greet me {good morning Roosevelt } Eula replied
{you don't have to be so formal just call me Roosy...} Roosevelt said with a smile
{okay what the hell is going on this morning, did I wake up in the wrong house} thought Eula, cause since she arrived yesterday, today was the first time she was speaking to her and that to in a friendly manner {alright, are you also going for a run...}
{yes do you mind going with me } Roosevelt asked as she tied her shoe laces
{ohh thanks that would be nice} Eula replied still in a confused state, soon they left the house for their run
~
after about 10 minutes later they made a turn to a street and Roosy stoped running
{let's wait a little I need to catch my breath} said Roosevelt
{umm okay hope you are alright} Eula replied
{yeah i just started morning runs not too long ago so I get tired easily}
{ohh there is no problem, you just have to learn to control your breathing whiles running}
{is that so may be you can teach me sometime} said Roosevelt
with a smile Eula replied {alright}
almost immediately a boy came running out of a house opposite where they stood
Roosevelt quickly stood straight putting her hair in order and dragging Eula forward
{what is wrong I thought you wanted to catch your breath }
{i...I hmmm I wanted us to wait for him} she said pointing to the boy across the street, she took this root in other to see him with out making an excuse
turning to look at the direction Roosevelt pointed, Eula called a name {Grayson}
{yeah you know him}
{no...no I saw him at the airport and a girl my age called him that }
{oooohhh Juliana, that is his cousin, she just moved here from Los Angeles, her dad got a job in Japan but she didn't want to go with her parents, so she came to New Orleans to live with her cousins, I think she goes to UNO as well}
{oooohhh} Eula was surprised that Roosevelt knew so much about this family
{we have to go now or we won't get to talk to him }
{talk to who} Eula's brain couldn't process what was going on right now
{Skyler Grayson! just hurry up }
Eula had no choice but to run along with Roosevelt till they caught up with Skyler
22 years old Skyler Andy Grayson, a second year student at the University of New Orleans, he is one of the cool guys 6 feet 9 inches tall, tanned skin, gogeously handsome.
{hey!} Roosevelt called out to Skyler
{hey beautiful! I see you are out running this morning} Skyler replied with a very charming smile
the blushing Roosevelt was so happy he called her beautiful {yeah I thought to try it and it feels good}
{glad you think so... who is the pretty one..} waving to Eula he introduced himself { hey, I'm Skyler and you are....}
{E...Eula} before Eula could say anything more, Roosevelt interrupted her
{Her name is Eula, she is my sister}
{sister! I never knew you had a sister}
{yeah I never knew too till last month, she is my dad's first child he had with an other woman} Roosevelt said without minding Eula's presence
{Wow that's new}
{Eula welcome to New Orleans, I suppose it's your first time}
{yeah thanks} Eula replied with a half hearted smile, she was a little offended at how Roosevelt introduced her to a complete stranger but she couldn't do anything about it cause it was the truth
{Roosy you would be at Zack's party right} Skyler changed the topic immediately
{yes, would you} Roosevelt replied
{I think so, why don't you come along as well Eula, it would be nice to experience the Grayson's party and you can treat it as a welcome party as well }
{thanks I will try to make it} Eula replied
{Roosy don't forget you owe me something and I am expecting it tonight} said Skyler
{okay} answered Roosevelt
{ha alright till tonight then, bye ladies} Skyler said before running off
{let's go home} said Roosevelt as she turned back in the direction they came from
Eula was left speechless as she followed her home ...
