“This apartment is not bad.” Brandon said, looking satisfied.
“It’s PERFECT” I shrieked with excitement. “I can’t believe I’m going to live here!” I started doing my happy dance.
“Sign the paperwork first, then you can do all the dancing, you want.”Brandon said sounding very annoyed.
“But be sure. The contract says you have to rent this place for a minimum of 4 months.” Emily said. She’s always the worry-wart. Always been like that.
“That’s okay. I plan on living here for a while. At least till I find a job that could pay for something more luxurious. Which is nearly impossible at the moment as I don’t have a job at all.” I replied.
“So then let’s go and get you this apartment.” Brandon said.
“I’m just renting it so don’t get your hopes up. I can still say that I don’t like it and stay at Emily’s.”I said jokingly.
Brandon groaned, but I knew he was only joking and didn’t want me to leave.
“Hey! Be nice.” I playfully scolded and the three of us burst into a fit of laughter.
After Emily and Brandon started dating, Brandon had become like my brother. I was an only child, so Emily was the closest I had to a sister and Brandon to a brother. It was like they were my family.

A week later...
Damn these boxes were heavy. Why did I own so much stuff?
Thank God it’s the last box! My arms hurt from carrying these boxes around. Brandon and Emily had come to help me, but they had to go for dinner with Emily’s parents so they left.
The apartment wasn’t too big nor was it tiny. It was perfect. There wasn’t much furniture except for a maroon coloured sofa, a table and two chairs in dining area and a spare bed in the room that was now mine. The room walls was plain white, but I planned on changing that. I hadn’t met my roommate as she hadn’t come back yet. And her room was locked. There was absolutely no evidence of what kind of person she was. And I was too tired to try and guess.
So instead I decided to not unpack and go to sleep as it was getting late already. Just about to fall asleep, I heard a loud thud. Startled, I got out of bed and walked quietly out of my bedroom door. I spied a baseball bat resting against the wall so I picked it up. I preferred being armed if someone was breaking and entering into my house. As I heard the door open, I stood with my body stuck to the wall, hoping the darkness would hide me and I would be able to catch the culprit by surprise.
‘Maybe it’s my roommate.’ I thought to myself but that thought vanished when I saw a tall and muscular looking silhouette, which was obviously a man.
As soon as I saw the figure emerge out of the darkness I lifted the bat up and with one strike I knocked out the guy.
“Ow.”, the man said while clutching onto his head.
“Who are you and what are you doing in my house?” I demanded.
“Your house? This is MY house.”
“No it’s not.”
“Yes it is.”
Wait he might Acey’s boyfriend or something like that. Shit. What a first impression?!
“Hey I’m sorry. You must be Acey’s boyfriend. I’m her new roommate.” I said while holding my hand out for him to shake.
He just looked confused to me. “Acey?”
“Yeah you’re girlfriend is friends with a friend of mine, Sophie.”
“Let me get one thing straight, I do not have a girlfriend. And second of all how do you know Sophie?”
“You know Sophie? She’s the one who told me I could stay here with a roommate and share the rent.”
“Wait, you’re the new roommate Sophie was talking about! I thought you were a guy! What kind of girl has the name ‘Ren’?” He asked.
“Ren is just a nickname my real name is Serenity.” And suddenly I noticed I hadn’t switched the light on yet and with how hard I had hit him, he might even be bleeding.
So I quickly went for the switch. But I couldn’t find. I guess it was because I hadn’t lived here long enough. I skimmed my fingertips over the wall and was trying to locate the switch when the man said,” I’ll get that.” And with much ease he located the switch and turned the light on. So I guess that proved that he in fact did in fact live here or was a creepy stalker guy who was planning to enter my apartment at night. The latter was less likely.
So I looked up at him and noticed a cut on his forehead. “Oh my god! I am so sorry.” And i reached over and skimmed my fingers over his cut. He hissed in pain.
“I am so sorry! I’ll just get a bandage or something.” I said, paused for a bit then continued, “My medical kit is still unpacked.”
“It’s okay. I’ll find a bandage in my room.” He said, getting up from the floor. Then he started to walk towards ‘his’ room.
“Okay. That’s good.” I said and followed him.
He took out a key to his room and unlocked it. As I entered behind him and stood at the doorway
His room was quite normal, like any other room. A bit messy: clothes strewn on his bed, a few magazines, a laptop on the small desk in the corner, etc. No posters were on the mint green walls and I couldn’t see a book in sight. He reached over to a drawer in the cupboard next to his bed and shuffled through what I guessed were medicines.
“Nice room I said.” I said.
He looked up slightly startled. He must have not realised i had followed him “What are you doing in here?!” He said in a loud voice, “You are not supposed to enter my room.” He moved forward towards the doorway making me back away. “It is bad enough you are my roommate! So please just stay out of my room!” And he slammed the door in my face.
How dare he speak to me like that! Who the hell does he think he is!
Silently i went into my room. Fuming at my ass of a roommate.
The next morning i woke up with a smile on my face. I wasn’t going to let ‘Addy’ or whatever his name was ruin my perfect mood. No way! I had started to unpack and I was putting my clothes into the tiny closet in my room when I heard a knock on the door.
What does he want? Hadn’t he said enough already.
I opened the door and was about to give him a piece of my mind when he beat me to it. “I am sorry. I was just having a rough night and being hit by a baseball bat and finding out i had to live with an unknown girl didn’t exactly make it better. But that doesn’t give me the right to be mad at you so sorry.” He said while avoiding making eye contact with me.
I stared at him with disbelief and speechless until he finally looked me in the eye and said, “Aren’t you going to say anything? I said I was sorry and believe me i don’t say that very often.”
“Oh! Okay.” I said getting over the shocking fact that the guy who I thought to be a complete was actually apologising to me. “Apology accepted, ...?”
“Aiden.” He replied and stretched his hand out, “My name is Aiden.”
I shook his hand and said, “My name’s Serenity.”
