"Here lies Everry Corrigan"
"Mrs. Corrigan I hope you are having a great time wherever u are at, I really miss you right now, thanks for teaching me all you know" Rai said leaving some Buttercups
Rai put his things down on the table
"I wonder who'll be taking over, I hope they're as kind as Mrs. Corrigan" Rai said
Rai turned the tv on
"Local shop owner dead"
"Way to dehumanize, the situation" Rai said turning the tv off
Rai went to sleep
Missed Call
"Hello, mom" Rai said
"Hello dear, I was calling to see if you're alright, I know your boss died" She said
"Yeah, I'm good mom, I miss her she was very kind to everyone who shopped in her store" Rai said
"Yes it's important to know that she is happy wherever she is and proud of you, just as I am of you, Rai" She said
"Thanks mom, I gotta get to classes but I'll call you later" He said hanging up
Rai got on his bike
"DUDE!!!, you aren't about to ride that are you" someone said
"Uh, I am??? Is there an issue" Rai said
"You're going to Connorida State correct?" The guy said
"Uhm, yes.... How exactly do you know this" Rai asked
"I dunno I just assumed" He said
"You can hop in my car if u need a ride" He said
"You aren't going to kill me are you" Rai said
"No nothing like that, man I just don't think you should take a bike, there's alotta thieves there" The guy said
"Thanks, uhmm "Flynn" Thanks Flynn" Rai said
Rai and Flynn got in the car
"So u work at that pizza restaurant right there, Gio's Best, u should come in man, I can get ya some free pizza" Flynn said
"Oh, I love pizza" Rai said
"Yeah man who the heck doesn't" Flynn said
"I could get you something free but you probably wouldn't like it too much" Flynn said awkwardly laughing
"I work at a flower shop, our best items are Daisies and Merigolds" Rai said
"Flowers are cool, my aunt owns a shop in New Hampshire" Flynn said
"Wait did you hear about that lady that had died, her name was Eva Ava, something" Flynn said
"Everry Corrigan" Rai said
"Wait, you work there" Flynn said
"Yes, I'm saddened by the loss, she really was another maternal figure in my life" Rai said
"Damn I'm not sure what all that means but, I'm sorry man" Flynn said putting his hand around Rai
"Come over for pizza after classes" Flynn said
"Now I really gotta get you pizza" he said
"Thanks man, but I probably gotta head to the shop, but I may have time for a slice" Rai said
"Awesome" Flynn said parking the car
The two guys got out of the car and walked up to the steps
"Alright man have a cool class" Flynn said
"You too" Rai said walking off
Rai sat at his lecture
"You place them gently into the case and sing to them because they love it when you do" Everry said singing
"So place them like this and sing" Rai began to sing
"Make sure they are comfortable" She said singing
"Now give them a big huggg" She said hugging Rai
Hahahaha hahahaha
*laughing slowly fades
"Mr. Mitchell, do you have questions, you are still here" The professor said
"No sir, I was just gathering what you went through, thank you for asking though" Rai said walking out
Rai sat at the table in the library
So many thoughts going through his head
"So what do you like do in a flower shop" Flynn asked
"Well you pretty much look after the flowers, look after shipments, kinda like pizza but ur just tending to plants" Rai said
"That sounds interesting" He said
"Really Interesting" He added
"Oh man I gotta go" Rai said
"Thanks for the pizza" He said taking a box
"No problem tell me how it goes" Flynn said
"Alright, I will" Rai said walking off
"Hey, uhm I wonder what it'll be like" Rai said
Rai walked in the store
"Still smells how she kept it" Rai said smiling
Rai went to the employees room in the back
"Hello, you Rai Mitchell" A man said
"Uhm yeah why" Rai asked
"Well I'm your new manager" He said
"Really, who are you" Rai said
"Do you know anything about Mrs. Corrigan, can you prune plants the way she did, do u sing them sweet melodies and hug them so dearly" Rai said gently touching the plants
"Well I would hope so, Mrs. Corrigan is my ma, and I'm Alder Corrigan her boy" He said
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't know she never told me she had a son, I'm sorry for your loss, please forgive me" Rai said
"It's alright, it only shows me you cared a great deal for her" Alder said smiling at Rai
"You already seem to know what to do, I just wanted you to get to know me well" Alder said
"Although you do seem to know everything my mom taught ya, there's something she didn't show u" Alder said
"What do you mean" Rai said
"Well I'll show you tomorrow, but you'll be quite surprised, and honestly I hope you're ready man, because your life will change" Alder said
"My... Life what, are you sure you're Mrs. Corrigan's son" Rai said
"Yeah I'm definitely her boy, she told me I'm more like my dad though, but I inherited something a bit different from her" He said
"Have a good day, Mr. Mitchell" Alder said
"Thanks, but it's just Rai" Rai said
"What a weird dude" Rai said
