"Bye bae," Ali Yelled in Anaya's ear, her arms tight around her.

She was the first friend Anaya had made at the club. Ali, full name Alinta, was beautiful, her skin golden brown. She was tall, standing at almost two meters (6 feet kinda). That was her main appeal at the club, most patrons finding her height imposing in the best way possible. 

Her hair was jet black falling to just under her ass, brushing against the top of her bubble butt. Her lips were plump, her eyes light brown. She was hot and if she wasn't married, she'd be living with Anaya by now if she had her way.

"Bye bitch, text me or whatever," Anaya responded, her voice exhausted. She had been on the floor since yesterday 7pm. It was now 8 am and she wanted to punch everyone and everything.

Sighing, she ordered an uber. Anaya hadn't driven here because she knew she'd be to exhausted to drive back. Looking around, the sky was beautiful. Sunrise was not too long ago so the sky still had faint pink and orange hues. The summers here were described as beautiful but she could not wait for the rain.

Anaya's phone dinged twice and she opened it to look. Her Amazon orders had been delivered and her uber was here. She looked up and the gray tesla immediately caught here eye. On tired feet, she lumbered to the car, cursing the day she was born, the earth and her mother.

Finally out of the elevator, she headed to her door, faintly registering her neighbours door opening. Once again cursing her mother for her birth, Anaya mentally sighed not up for socializing.

"Hi, you're the new neighbour? I'm Malika," she said silently, her voice raspy. 

Not having the energy to even look at her, Anaya responded, putting her keys in the door.

"Hey, yeah. Anaya."

"Um...nice to meet you. Do you need help with those boxes?" She said, her voice quieter.

"I'm good thanks. I'm not really in the mood to talk right now, can I just get into my apartment?" Anaya asked, the beginning of a migraine teasing the back of her eyes.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Welcome. Sorry," She practically whispered as she began heading to the elevator.

Mentally reminding herself to apologize at some point, she closed her apartment door behind her.

Barely had she closed it, than her phone started ringing. Fighting back tears, Anaya picked up noting that it was Amani.

"Hey girlie," Amani cheered into the phone. "Mom is moming again so I'm staying on campus this week. Also, I joined a new club. I know I'm already in cheer and in band, but I decided to join Model UN. I figured it'll look cute considering I want to go work there when I graduate.
