"Oh, hey Alex!" I lift the phone from my ear and read the contact name. "What's up?"

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Ya, go for it!"

"You're going to NYU? Right?"

"Ya. Why?"

"I got a letter in the mail and few days ago and I've been accepted! I'm going there too!"

"Omg, yay! I won't be alone!"

"I also wanted to ask you one more thing."

"Okay, sure."

"Do you know where you're staying yet? Like in a dorm or an apartment possibly...?"

"Uh, I was probably just going to stay in a dorm, why?"

"Because there's this really nice apartment that's only a few minutes away from campus, but I can't afford it on my own."

"So you're saying you want me to come live with you?"

"Oh shit. That sounds really creepy and desperate, doesn't it?"

"No, it's okay! To be honest, I didn't really wanna have to get to know a new roommate on campus, so maybe staying off campus would be a better idea."

"Really? I can send you the link to the place if you want, so you can check it out!"

"Ya, sure! I'm actually on my way to an after grad party right now, but I'll look at it and call you back later."

"Sounds great! And just so you know, I don't want you to feel like, obligated or anything here. I know this was kinda weird and last minute but..."

"Hey, don't worry about it! Besides, having an apartment sounds way better than staying in a dorm. I'll call you later, okay?"

"Okay. Bye!"

"Bye!" I end the call and set my phone in my lap.

"What's Alex asking about and apartment or something?" Garret immediately chimes in.

"He got accepted to NYU and wanted to know if I'd be interested in sharing and apartment." Garret stops and thinks about what I just said for a few seconds before responding.

"Ya, okay. I like Alex so I approve. But if he doesn't stick to the status quo, I ain't afraid to cut a bitch."

"I'm sure it'll be fine. There'll be no need to cut any bitches." I laugh. My phone vibrates with a text from Alex. I click the link and scroll through the pictures of the apartment. 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, living room, dining room and a laundry room.

"Did he send pictures of it?" Sammy asks, turning in the passenger seat to face me in the back.

"He sent the link. Here." I hand her my phone and watch as she scrolls down.

"Damn, this looks like a bomb ass place!" She hands my phone back. "Make sure you dibs the bedroom that has the attached bathroom."

"Sure Sam." I smile and put my phone in my bag. The car comes to a stop in front of a large beige house, with a perfectly groomed lawn and garden. Dim lights shine through the tall windows and laughter can already be heard as we step out of the car.

"They must be in the backyard." Garret gestures toward the open gate on the side of the house. We walk towards it and step into the yard to see a huge pool, surrounded by teenagers. Music is coming through a pair of speakers sitting on a table which Mac and his friends are standing next to.
