Show Me How To Live

I'm rainbow. Yes Thats ny real name. No my parents weren't drunk. They were stoned. I have seven brothers. All of them named after a color. Despite my unconventional family I was still raised with love and care and everything in my life was always nice and perfect.
This was the same thing I said every morning to the mirrior before Jennica woke up. Truth was my parents were stoned naming me. I mean who the hell names a kid Rainbow Blackbird Freeflower. In case you didn't guess my parents were part of the who hippie thing in the sixtys and seventies until i was one in 1990. I did have seven brothers named after colors...Somewhere. Probably jail. I don't believe in love because honestly its just a word we all seem to value more. Something we made for another holiday.
I sighed hearing the same old alarm in the bedroom that wasn't mine. The annoying beat meant to wake you up never woke her up in a timely matter.
I first met jennica in sixth grade during history. We bonded over our weird names. How we didn't belong. How everyone else sucked and how one day we'd be perfectly weird together. She became my best friend and slowly like all other friendships we took pieces of each other and we became so alike i couldn't remember were one of us began and the other ended. I shuddered at the memories of dancing in the rain and yelling screaming maybe even hoping this would be it. But it wasn't and there was more rain and suddenly school was over and she and i were in California barley scraping by with the little dance moves we could do on a small stage with a pole in the middle.
The alarmdinging stopped and there was a poundong on the door. She needed to pee. I sighed and stepped out of the room my heels clicking on the floor. I let her run by me while i giggled running my fingers through my bluish purpley green hair. I was working on a name for these colors combined. Thoughtlessly I missed stepped on the last step and crashed on the floor adding to the runs on my stockings. Well it made my outfit look more grungy. Jennica came pounding down the steps while i was still on the floor she hopped three steps above the lasr one and landed gracefully on both feet. "Ok thats cheating you aren't wearing heels." i mumbled.
"Whatever you say birdie. Lets go before we're late" she said jogging out to the car. I laughed at her. I started the engine as soon as i got to the car. Jennica and i now worked together at a record label i was a song writer and she was a supply fo tour workers. She basically got paid twenty an hour for doing nothing at the moment.my phone rang and jennica answered it.
"Yo birdie you gonna be able to do the hopeless dreamers tonight?" she asked i nodded. The hopeless dreamers was my band. We had a demo and like 1200 fans. We were gonna make it big and jennica was gonna be our merch girl. The thought made me smile. We couldn't be far away from msking it. I can taste it. The thought made me smile. Jennica and i would be together no matter what
