Julia Ross groaned as she pushed open her apartment door, she has a roommate, Conan, he's the peak-high school type of guy. He wasn't always the best roommate but given her financial situation this is what she must deal with. He was sprawled on the couch. Julia just rolled her eyes and headed to the kitchen, where her leftovers were waiting for her in the refrigerator. She gleefully opened the fridge door, only to be greeted by an empty shelf.
