Everything is Due ; Nothing is submitted

Chapter 38

Everyone was sitting in the student union enjoying dinner. "So what are we doing about living arrangements next year?" Elise asked looking at her phone. Housing was emailing everyone who lived on campus to see where they wanted to be next year.

"I was thinking about that too. What if we get an apartment?" Maria proposed. "That way we don't have to follow housing rules" she nudged Altair who was sitting next to her.

"Oh Arno, you can spend the night" Elise gave him a side hug.

Aveline rolled her eyes "We need soundproof walls"

Evie nodded "I like that idea but since it will be the four of us what if we get a house? It will be more room"

"A house is a good idea" Ezio piped up. "Leo lives in one with his friends and he likes it. There are plenty to rent around here."

"Okay, I guess we can go house hunting this week?" Evie asked looking at her roommates. Blessed they were all living together. They all agreed. "Jacob what are you guys doing next year"

Jacob sighed "We found out we must live on campus since we are on the soccer team. If you move off campus you lose your scholarship"

"But we'll, be together" Alexios's face lit up. Glad to finally have stability in his life.

"What about your friend Oswald he's on the team and has a house," Evie asked remembering all the parties that were there.

"Yeah, but Oswald like Sigurd," Eivor said putting his pizza down. "Is rich and doesn't need scholarship money." Eivor was a bit jealous of that.

"Anyways we'll still be RAs in Homestead" Desmond smiled happily all his friends weren't graduating and they would be together another year.

"Can't wait" Malik said sarcastically.

"It'll be fun" Altair smiled. He was excited that the next year was his senior year.

For the rest of dinner, everyone joked about what to expect for next year. They were all excited about what the future held.

"Okay here is the first house" Aveline pulled into the gravel driveway. The house was a bit dingy looking. It was one story and looked like it was built in the eighties. There was a baby pool out front which was a bit random. There was also another car pulled in. It looked like a race car with the number eighteen plastered on the side of it. All the girls got out of the car and were then greeted by an eccentric-looking guy who looked around their age.

"What up I'm Hurk!" He walked closer and was wearing pants with stars and stripes and a t-shirt with sleeves torn off with an eagle on it. He looked like Fourth of July's baby.

"Hey, I'm Aveline, this is Evie, Maria, and Elise. You said this place was for rent" All the girls gave an awkward wave.

"What in the white trash" Maria whispered to Evie. Evie just shrugged. Elise looked horrified she was not one to look trashy.

"Yup! My mom owns this place and I have lived here all four years but now I'm graduating, and she said I need to get people to move in here." he smiled. He was surprised he survived four years, but he did it. "Here come on in and I'll give you a tour!"

All the girls followed him as they walked in. He opened the door, and they were expecting the worst but were pleasantly surprised at how nice the interior was. The living area and kitchen were a bit dated looking, but they were kept in nice shape. There was wood paneling and shag carpet everywhere but the kitchen. The common room had two hallways on the left and right.
