Roommates

Chapter One

It was the end of June, the sun was shining brightly and heat was radiating from it. The humidity of the air just added to my discomfort. I grew up in Ireland for Christ sake, the hottest it usually gets is only around 20 degrees and even then the bloody wind gives you that extra bit of relief from the heat, but this is like a whole other world. I pulled on my sunglasses and brought my bottle of water to my lips. I was so glad that I decided to wear my light All Time Low shirt and my ripped denim shorts because I would have been boiling in this weather.
I had always wanted to return to America since I found out that I was born in Tennessee. I just finished my Leaving Cert a few days ago so I'm finally free from school. I've planned every detail of this move; the apartment, the job, everything.
Pulling my suitcases behind me I caught a taxi and threw my things into the trunk. It was probably 30 minutes later that the taxi pulled up outside a huge apartment block. How in God's name will I find the apartment in all of these? I probably passed the door three times until I saw the faint markings of the numbers 143 on the door. Letting out a sigh of relief I knocked on the thick wooden door and took the chance to send a quick text to my mam saying that I had arrived safe and sound.
I heard the knob of the door moving so I shoved my phone into my shorts. the door was quickly opened by a blonde guy that's around my height. Suddenly not feeling as confident as I was feeling earlier I became tongue tied and literally couldn't make out a proper sentence.
"Oh...I.....am....hey.." I smile when I finally get the right word out."....I'm Bree....your new roommate."
"Oh ya, hey Bree I'm Nate. Come on in." he opens up the door fully and helps me carry my bags into the apartment. The place looks even better in person than in the photos that I had gotten a month ago when I decided to live here. The apartment unsurprisingly looks like a typical man cave, the dark walls, the plain furniture and the fricking huge TV with a Xbox, Play Station 4 and a Wii.
"I can tell that I'm the girl living here."
"Ya there's only myself and Drew, Levi and Austin and now you." After dropping my bags near the front door I literally collapse onto one of the two sofas facing the large TV.
"Jet lag?" I laugh.
"Jet lag."
"Well maybe 'Jet lag' can be our always." I laugh at his 'The Fault in Our Stars' reference.
"I hear a giiiirl." I hear a guy call from the other end of the apartment. The other three boys walk into the room and Nate quickly introduces me to them.
"So guessing from your accent, your not from around here are you Bree?" Drew asked.
"Nope, I'm Irish but I was born in Tennessee."
"And what brings you to California?" Levi questioned.
"Just wanted a new start in a new country and since I'm an American citizen, I just wanted to live here."
"But what about your family?"
"They weren't very happy with me moving to another country but they got around to the idea. by the way guys you'll probably be meeting them in a few weeks anyway because they wanted to come over and see how I'm getting on." They all nodded their heads in understandment.
"Enough with the chit chat, have you guys got any food because I swear to god that I could eat a cow right now." the atmosphere immediately lightened up and they led me into the kitchen.
"What do you like to eat? We've some vegetables, chicken, pasta or I could make you a -"
"No, no, no Drew I'll make something myself. Have you guys eaten yet?"
"As a matter of fact we haven't.." I look in Nate's direction.
"Well then your in for a surprise. Go on you lot and leave me cook in peace, I'll call you when it's ready." Nate and Austin left easily enough but it took some time to get rid of Levi and Drew. they gave up persuading me to let them help me and walked back into the sitting room where Nate and Austin were playing on the Xbox. I can already tell that we'll all be best friends.
