You looked around the grocery store in awe. It's still a lot to get used to, the aisles upon aisles of new merchandise was a bit mind boggling. You quickly grabbed a cart and started to look around. You currently shopping for you and your roommate Alexandra or Alex for short. She's a bit on the lazy side but you had a nurturing personality so it wasn't all that bad. As you wandered from aisle to aisle, you would notice the stares and glances you got from humans. It's not like they had a reason to, oh wait you were a skeleton weren't you. Well that sums that up.

After picking up a few items, you made your way to the what the humans call it a " Mexican food" aisle. You began to grab the essentials such as tortillas, refried beans, and other things. As you went to grab the salsa, another hand was touching yours, a gloved hand. As you looked up you were faced with a much taller skeleton glaring at you. Behind him was another skeleton that was even taller than him, if that were possible.

" Why are you just standing there peasant? Grab the sauce." He ordered.

You quickly put it in your cart, you were not expecting that. As you looked at him again, you noticed the scars that he wore. The other seemed to have more. As you continued your shopping, you noticed them more and more. They both looked at you with curiosity evident in their eye sockets. It made you a bit flustered, you never had someone looking at you for so long. After you got all of the items from your list you rang them up using the self checkout.

As you left the store you noticed at the corner of your eye socket, both still looking at you. The taller on seemed to lock eye contact with you and winks. You blush slightly and continued to your car. After packing all of your groceries inside and putting the cart back, you get in your car and drive back to your shared apartment.

As you get out of your car, you see your roommate walking towards you.

" Hey V, need some help?" Alex asked as she started to grab some of the groceries.

" Thank you it would have bean so hard on my own." I say.

Alex chuckled at the pun.

" Really V?" she says.

You giggled at her as a reply. You both grabbed the groceries and took them back to your shared apartment. As you put the groceries away, Alex started a conversation.

" So anything new happen, maybe you found yourself a bonefriend." She asked.

You looked at her with a straight face.

" No I did not but I did run into some skeletons." You replied.

" Really, what were they like? " she asked, curiosity edged on her face.

"Well they we're very tall and they had huge scars on their skulls. The one that actually talked seemed to be very straight forward. The other just stood there. But they both did seem interested in me, but probably because I'm a skeleton. Seeing skeletons are very rear" I reply.

" And because you got a rack and a fat ass." She tried poorly to cover up with coughs.

" Don't say things like that, it's very inappropriate." You scolded.

" Just saying the truth Violet." She says.

You sighed at her words and continued to put away the groceries. After you finished, you went to the living room and sat on the couch. Alex followed behind you and laid her head on your lap.

" So, how's the job search going?" she asked.

" Not so good. I don't think people want to hire a monster to clean their house or watch their children." You say.

" Come on, monsters aren't bad." Alex said.

" There's not a lot of people that feel the way you do. They are just afraid of what they don't understand." You say as you sigh.

" Well, let's see if there is any new offers." Alex says as she gets up.

She goes to your room and comes back with your laptop. She hands you the laptop. You open it and go to the website to see if there is any openings. You scroll down the pages for a couple of minutes until an offer catches your eye sockets. Alex looks over your shoulder and reads it aloud.

" Looking for a housekeeper that doesn't mind a house full of rowdy skeletons. Will have to work on weekdays (weekends if necessary). A room will be provided. Jobs that are required to be done are:

• Cooking

• Cleaning the house

" If you do anything extra, you will be paid extra. By the way this is a skeleton writing this so if this rattles your bones to much, don't worry about it. I bet you have a skeleton of better things to do. If you want to talk face to face, just follow the address provided. If someone answers the door, ask for Sans or Stretch. Oh yeah Please and thank you." She read.

Alex laughed the loudest at the request.

" Really, rattles your bones? Oh gosh V take this request." She says between giggles.

You try to hold back your laughter as much as you can.

" Alright alright, I'll check out the place tomorrow." You respond as you close the laptop.

"This sure is going to be one a bone rattling experience." You think to yourself.

For now you just focus on what you two are going to have for dinner. Burritos sound pretty good about now.
