A.Sunday, the 10th August
I feel the sun shining on my Brown skin through the windows of my hotel room. It feels warm and comfortable here. For a moment all my worries disappeared and I finally feel relaxed after those stressful days I had. Till my damn 10am alarm clock busted in my ears. I immediately open my eyes and turn it off and took a deep sigh.
I got up and realized that I have to leave my hotel room today. Suddenly the warm feeling I just had a couple of minutes ago disappeared. I have been searching for a place to live for 4 days now. I moved from Seattle to Vancouver because they have one of the best universities for psychology.(yall I just made that up I don't know if it's true lmao) Of course, it's expensive as fuck to study there but I had the highest grades in my senior year so I've got a scholarship.
Right now, I'm packing my things and check my phone like every 5 seconds to see if someone replied to my request but no... Then I completely lost it when I started talking to myself. "What if I don't find a place today?" "Do I have to live on the streets?"
But no, I have to keep my head up. It literally doesn't help me if I keep thinking of what will happen when. STOP OVERTHINKING ADELYN AND LEAVE THAT HOTEL ROOM
Before I went out, I checked myself in the bathroom mirror. I can't look bad today but tbh I think I look actually pretty rn.
I look at my phone and woah its already 11am I have to leave.
Okay breathe in... Breathe out ...
It's all about confidence. Let's go!
6 hours later
I'm about to throw up. I WENT TO EVERY PLACE IN VACOUVER BUT DIDNT FIND ANYTHING... How is that even possible like... Someone even said" Sorry we don't take blacks" and slammed the door Infront of my nose. Yup and after that I visited like 50 other places... Rn I'm at my university's library. I felt like tears are coming and went to the restroom. I got in a cabin and sat on a toilet seat and had a lot of thoughts in my mind like "What should I do now" "Why does it have to be me?" "How am I supposed to tell my mom, when I told her not to worry abt me?"
I heard the door opening and a couple of girls were talking about someone really loudly. I didn't pay much attention till one of them said "He is searching for a roommate for 3 days now."
That's when I sat up straight and listen to them carefully.
"Yeah, I heard that, but Elijah is wayyy to picky" So his name is Elijah... "I know right! After he posted on his Instagram that he is looking for a roommate, SOOO many girls contracted him. But he rejected any girl that applied for. Noone knows why..."
And after that the girls left the restroom. My heart was racing. Probably because I haven't drink or ate anything the whole day. This could be my chance and I immediately started to look him up on Instagram. After a couple of minutes, I finally found him and his address.
I literally ran out of the university and took the next bus. I reached my bus stop and got out. I found the building pretty fast and before I entered it, I took a deep breath and stepped in...
Okay Adelyn u cant mess this up. Even if he is "picky" u have to convince him...
Pls lord don't make him racist ..💀
