Chapter 3

I sighed as I reached the door to where I would be living with roommates from now on. My new home, apartment 216.

'This is gonna be really good, or really, really, REALLY bad.' I thought to myself.

I took out the keys from my pocket and fumbled around with the lock to open the door. After about ten seconds of me struggling to open a door, I got it. 'About time' I thought. As I opened the door, I was greeted with a familiar face.

"Bailey?" My eyes went wide as I said it. I looked at her and she also looked surprised.

"Jacob?" She asked "I haven't seen you since you got kicked out of art, what happened to you?" She asked curiously as she rolled her wheelchair out of the door frame to let me into the apartment.

"After I got kicked out, they gave me an opportunity to switch majors and start fresh. So since I always liked playing electric bass, I decided to just switch my major to music performance." I explained.

She grinned. "Of course you got a fresh start, you probably just charmed their socks off." She teased.

"Oh shut up." I said playfully.

As Bailey completely moved out the way, I walked in with my backpack and boxes of stuff.

"Just so you know," Bailey started "two other people live here, but I'm sure you knew that when you were getting ready to move here."

"Yeah," I said in response "I saw that it said I would be living with three other people when I was signing up to rent the place. What are their names anyway?"

"Well, the people who live here are yours truly (she winked as she said this and rolled her wheelchair with me as I walked to my room), Andre, and Joise. Andre is out with his friend Jason, who actually lives next door with his twin sister Alexis, Milo, and Kiro. Joi-"

I cut her off and my eyes went wide. "Come back to Joise later, you said KIRO lives next door? As in apartment 217?" I asked, a bit excited.

"Yeah, why? Do you know them or somethin'?" She asked me.

"Yes actually, they're in my major. And they're friend, well....yeah, they're friend." I said.

She nodded and smiled when we heard a knock on the door. I put all my boxes and bags of stuff down then walked over to the door. I opened and saw a black kid who looked utterly drained. At the same time, I heard someone scream in the other room.

"OH MY GOD I WAS SO WORRIED ANDRE CALLED MY ASS AT 3 AM SAYING YOUR DUMBASS GOT DRUNK-" A voice screamed. It was quickly followed by another more timid voice.

"Oh my god- OUCH- it was an accident- OWW!" The voice whined in pain. "I only meant to get a little drunk- GOD DAMMNIT BITCH STOP HITTING ME!!"

I shuddered "Oof, feel bad for that guy." I said. Just then, Bailey wheeled into the room.

"What is happening out here all I hear is Alexis screaming at Ja-" She stopped as she saw the man in the door. "Oh, hey Andre." She said.

"Hey Bailey," Andre said. "Oh, so you must be the new kid who's moving in with us. Nice to meet you." He said, sticking out his hand for me to shake.

I shook his hand and smiled "I'm Jacob, nice to meet you."
