Journey 3: Time Traveler

A place to stay

The college would be starting in a week and Neil had still not been able to find a house to stay. He had just moved to the town of Oakwood to study dance at the University.

Even after searching for a room for week, he hadn't been able to find a place to stay. If he didn't hurry up and find a room now he'd end up attending college from a hotel room.

One evening, he was sitting in a cafe when he heard a girl sitting on the next table talking to her friend.

"Did you find a tenant for your room?" the friend asked.

"Not yet" the girl replied, "I'm thinking of putting an ad in the paper."

Not wanting to miss the chance he turned to her and said, "Are you looking for a tenant?"

"Yes. Why?" she said.

"Because I am looking for a room" he said.

"That's great. You can come tomorrow to see the room", she said, giving him the address written on a piece of paper.

"Sure", he said "My name is Neil, by the way. What's yours?"

"Olivia"

Ever since the conversation with the guy Olivia kept getting this unexplainable feeling that she had seen him somewhere and that she knew him

The next day, Neil went to see the house. Two guys were already living there and there was a third room that they wanted to rent out.

Olivia was the owner of the house who lived on the ground floor while these three guys would be on the first floor.

The other two flat mates were Theo and Jack. Theo was a dentist while no one had any idea of what Jack did.

College started and soon Neil got busy with his classes.

Then one day, when he had gone to pay his rent to Olivia, she said, "have you ever met me before the day at the cafe?"

"I don't think so. Why?" he asked.

"I keep getting this feeling that I know you from before" she said. 

"I only came to this town a week before I met you. Maybe it was someone who looked like me", he said.

"By the way," Neil continued, "I'm going to the cafe for lunch. Do you want to come along?"
