Katie POV

I am sooo excited to go hunting for our new apartment! In exactly 10  minutes it will be 8:00am then we can start. YAY! I was so excited i woke up 30 minutes ago and got ready. I decided to go for a sexy without even trying look . I had black skinny jeans on with flowy yet fitted turquoise shirt that had to broad strings that i tied into a lose bow. I decided against make-up and slipped on some black Toms and i was ready to go.I look over at my vulnerable yet peaceful friends. Usually I would want to pull something over them but I decide against it because I want this day to go as smoothly as possible. I think about how lucky I am to have met Azalea. Same with Kara but were blood. Even though Azalea denys that she is pretty Kara and I know that she could easily become a model. She has beautiful chocolate skin that is absolutely flawless. Midnight black hair bouncy and full of volume just sweeping her  butt. A radiant white smile, lovely big brown eyes and eyelids, her eyebrows are also so neat and perfectly arched without even trying,even her lips are perfect. A  healthy,and yet  curvy body. Long powerful legs, small waist, and not to big of hips.  I have no idea how she dosen't see how beautiful she is. If she wasn't my best friend i would be SO jealous of her!  But not only is she beutiful outside but as well inside. She cares about every little cause. You name it and she at one point or another has raised money for it. Azzy also LOVES books! She sits down with a 400 page book at 9:00 am and finishes it by latest 9:00 pm. Oh yeah in-case anyone wants to know who the sporty one of the group was that would be Azalea! I swear if that girl tried hard enough she could beat Usain Bolt in the 100 meter dash and leave Micheal Jordan in awe. Even though she didn't recognize One Direction in the restaurant she is a major directioner! Even though she doesn't like to pick favorites Kara and I know she is head over heels for Niall! Almost time  3...2....1. *BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEP!*

"Up and at 'em!" I say as I turn off the alarm clock. But of course they don't move an inch. So still going with the good girl attitude I lightly shake them and remind them we have 2 hrs till first our apointment. Eventually they give in and start getting ready.

Azalea  being the competitive one runs for the bathroom  screaming "Victory is Mine!"

Kara and I chuckle at our very weird friend. I flip on the T.V to see non other than the famous boy-band one direction being interviewed on Ellen. I love Ellen and One Direction so i decide to keep watching. The boys are playing a game called know or go celebrity pictionary addition. Niall and Harry were supposed to draw something and Louis,Liam, and Zayn had to guess what it was. If they did not guess the picture drawn correctly they would be dropped from the 4ft high pedestal they are on. Then Niall or Harry would have to go up. Harry was up first.... sporting his signature smirl he went up to the whiteboard and drew some deranged looking creature that Niall was laughing at. When he was done he took a step back admiring his art work then asked Liam if he knew what it was.

"Some sort of hybrid mix between a lynx and a Griffin" Liam says in-between laughs

With a fake hurt expression Harry wailed " NO! It's not a 'hybrid mix between a lynx and a Griffin' Liam!" Then glady pushes the button to make Liam fall.

I was laughing so hard that I hadn't even notice both Kara and Azalea were dressed and ready to go until Kara turned off the T.V  and scolded "if we don't eat and leave now we are going to be late!" Kara was dressed also in in skinny jeans but purple ones instead of black like me and Azzy were wearing. Azzy had on a cute pink lace crop top blouse that ended just above her belly button. She wore light make-up neon pink lips and black eyeliner. Kara had a yellow flowy top that had a ribbon ending just below her bust. She also wore minimal make-up, mascara and clear gloss.

We went to breakfast then set out for apartment hunting.

Kara's POV

Right now we are in at our first appointment and I am silently screaming inside my head! This place is absolutely horrid. There is loud music playing, mildew in the air ,and mold on the walls. I can tell that my friends think the same too because Azzy very politely tells the landlord"Um this place is very....unique but not  giving us that homey vibe, so we are going to continue looking." The landlord grunts in response to Azzy. With that we all spin on our heels and evacuate that place.

When I get outside I am glad to see that the day has turned nice. The big grey rain clouds that normally hang over London are gone and are replaced by big fluffy white clouds with the sun trying to break through. The air smells like the bakery that we are standing infront of and in that moment I am so glad to be here right now. 

"Let me be the first to say,that place is TERRIBLE! What part of that place was pleasant and airy" whisper shouted Katie

I say in response "Let's hope that the other 9 flats are better"

"Hey! You used flats instead of apartments" Azalea noted

I think to myself I already fit in. But i really hope I did not just jinx our chances......

*8 apartments later*

YUP! I totally jinxed our chances. The last 8 apartments were exactly like the first. But we still have the one we are standing in front of now..hopefully! The landlady greeted us with a warm smile wearing a blue skirt suit and a frilly white under blouse.We saved the best for last,so far the neighborhood seems nice, the price is right, and i don't smell any mildew. We walk in fingers crossed and breaths held only to let them go in a sigh of relief. This flat was amazing. It totally lived up to it's description. It was fully furnished, 3 medium sized bedrooms, a fantastic fully loaded with utensils, pots and pans kitchen with(a dishwasher so i don't have to break nails scrubbing pots) a big ass living room  that dips down,  a 60'' mounted flat screen TV, white Italian leather sofas topped off with vibrant blue, grassy green, and royal purple throw pillows and blankets, and there is a giant wall right as you walk in of windows that gives you a look out onto a beautiful waterway and if you want a closer look there is a sliding door that leads to your private balcony.

My friends and I were in complete awe, until the landlady snapped us out of our thoughts and questioned (even though she new the answer) "Do you lovely ladies want to rent the apartment?"

Katie and I just nodded our heads like complete idiots while Azalea spoke up and explained what we couldn't "yes! We love this apartment and would like to rent it from you."

"Great all I need you to do is read over this contract, sign, and give me first and last months rent!" The landlady answered.

I handed over the first and last months rent while Katie and Azzy started on the contract. We finished signing and reading so we handed over the contract. In return she handed over 3 keys and said "By the way my name is Christine! Hope you ladies enjoy London!"

 "We will thank you! Also I am Kara, this is Azalea, and this is Katie." I reply pointing to each person as I go. Then with a smile she is gone leaving us to fan girl over our new apartment! We then all look at each other evilly then sprint to claim our rooms! Azzy being the fastest gets the room of her choice which just happens to be a angelic deep and lavender purple room with a queen size canopy bed, with an egg hanging chair, a walk-in closet, and a white long dresser with a princess mirror. For me I go for the room on the right which is much like Azalea's room but the main colour is a light blue. And as for Katie she took the turquoise room on the left. Now all we have to do is grab our luggage from the hotel and move in! We were so busy checking out the rest of the rooms and laughing that we didn't hear anything but ourselves. Then while Azzy was trying to tell us to hurry up we heard a blood-curdling scream in the middle of her sentence!
