The only one

Chapter 2: the big apple

My alarm annoyingly beeped at me to get up. So I got up made myself caffeinated tea and sat on the couch watching the today show with nugget on my lap. I finally got up from my couch and threw my hair in a messy bun. No makeup since I was gong on a 7 hr trip to ny. I slipped on my red toms and black skinny Jeans. I threw on my grey v neck Tshirt. And I was good to go. I packed everything and was ready to go I packed the little things I had in 3 suitcases. The apartment I had came with furniture. Nugget went in his cage and i threw his toy mouse in there I call him dr. Cheese. It was a beautiful day In LA as usual. I got in my jeep which was really old and drove to the airport. The sun was rising over the ocean. God LA was so beautiful I rolled down the windows and let the wind hit my face. Im going to miss the city of angels. But I know it's for the best. I got to the airport and after an hour of waiting I finally boarded my plane. I was sitting next to an Asian couple the whole time and let me tell ya they were cute. I put my neck pillow on and put my earbuds in putting imagine dragons on shuffle. The Asian had to yell at me to wake me up we landed and everyone was getting up. I opened my eyes and everyone was staring at me. I just smiled I was used to embarrassment like this. I got all my bags and nugget and I got on the train to manhattan. I finally got to get off after like 20 stops. I scouted down my apartment building after tripping over many people. I opened my apartment door and it was just like I imagined. It was like the vintage apartment I've always wanted. I blasted fall out boy and started unpacking and making the place mine. I heard a knock on the door so turned off my music and opened the door. A guy probably my age pretty attractive stood there looking angry. "Can I help you?" I asked.
"Yea if you don't mind I'm trying to write a paper and it's really hard when you're blaring you're music" he says.
"I am so sorry I didn't know I do dumb stuff like this all the time" I said.
"I'm Naomi" I said putting my hand out expecting him to shake it.
"I'm dan" he said shaking my hand.
"Did you just move in"? He asked
"Yea I'm from California" I said.
"Oh that's cool I've always wanted to go there" he says.
"Yea it's so beautiful there." I say.
"Do you like breakfast for dinner" he asks smirking.
"Of course!" I say
"Well I don't mean to brag but I can make a mean waffle." He says.
"Is This you asking me to eat dinner with you?" I ask.
"If you don't mind" he says.
" yea waffles sounds good" I say closing my door walking down to his apartment.
"So what's you're essay about?" I say walking into his apartment it was a bigger one probably for a family.
"It's about being out of place" he says.
" I got to NYU and my professor is kind of a sucker for emotional stories" he's says pouring waffle batter into a press thing.
" I'm writing about a girlfriend I had she was way to good for me tall beautiful blond and cunning I was definitely out of place with her" he says.
"Sounds interesting" I say.
"Nah" he says.
"So what brings you to the big apple" he asks.
"Well I got an opportunity to intern for a photography company this year" I said.
"You're not going to school?" He asks "you look about my age".
" um I can't pay for college lets just say my parents aren't really a part of my life" I say.
" I'm twenty how old are you "? He asks.
"18, 19 in a month" I say smiling.
The rest of the night we talk and laugh about stuff casually eating waffles.(:
