rima

i attended school for four more days, and thank god it's finally friday. and even better, it's summer break. 

i still wonder why i decided to go to school a week before it ended, but i'm happy that i did, otherwise i wouldn't have anyone to hang out with. 

my eyes flutter awake, and i roll over to check the time. my phone reads 9:17am, and i quickly turn back into the middle of my double bed and bury myself further beneath my blankets.

once i realize i'm not going to be able to get back asleep, i pull myself out of bed and get ready for my mission of the day: apartment hunting.

since my dad moved away, and my mother is dead, he left me heaps of money to take care of myself. i haven't been able to find an apartment yet, so i've been staying in a gross, sweaty motel room for the last week.

my body pulls itself into a shower, where i wash my hair, body and shave my legs as i've been too lazy to do so for the past week. after toweling dry, i moisturize my body and dry my hair with a hairdryer. 

i wander around my hotel room in nothing but a towel for a while, blasting panic! at the disco, and dancing and singing terribly

things have changed for me!

and thats okay

im on my way, and i say

things have changed for me!

i belt out the last few words, and then look through my suitcase for a suitable outfit. i pull on some black skinny jeans, a ribbed black short sleeved tshirt, an oversized blue denim jacket and my white converse. i grabbed my phone, credit card and keys to my car.

i drive around sydney for a little bit, then direct myself to the apartment block i am going to check out. i've already seen it online, and i want to buy it, but i want to see it in person first.

i park myself outside of the building. looking up at it, it's around ten stories high, and it's in the middle of sydney town center, and only a ten minute walk from school. a smile played on my lips, and i allowed myself inside.

the lift doors slide open, and i hop in before they close and push the number nine. once i reach the level, my eyes flicker past each door until i finally stop outside of number twenty seven. 

butterflies erupt in my stomach. not because i'm nervous, but because i'm so excited to see my new potential home. i calm myself down, and knocked on the door three times.

after about thirty seconds, the door opens and a land lady comes out. "oh! hello dear. what can i do for you?" she asks with a smile on her face.

"hi, um, i'm here to see if i can look at this apartment, and possibly buy it?" i ask her, smiling sweetly. as soon as the words leave my mouth, her lips twitch slightly, and they pull into a small frown.

"sorry, sweetie, but there's a young man inside who just bought it. i'm so sorry." 

my stomach drops, and anger pulses through my body. this is my apartment. i've had my eye on it since before i arrived here, and no one can take it away from me. without thinking, i push past the land lady and walk into the living room, and i'm faced with a back of a tall male.

"i'm sorry, but this is actually meant to be my apartment." i state rudely, and the figure turns around.

my eyes widen as i see that it's calum.

"waverly? what are you doing here?" he lightly chuckles. i look at him up and down, he's wearing black skinny jeans with show off his perfectly sculpted legs, all black converse covered his feet, and he was sporting a baseball tee with dark blue sleeves, and red on the torso. 

"what are you doing here?" i snap back at him

"well, you are in my apartment." he says

"calllllllllllllll," i whine, "i really wanted this apartment."

calum furrows his eyebrows, and after about ten seconds of silence, his eyes widen and he pulls me by my hand and sits me down on the couch.

"be my roommate." he says

"what?" i choke out, millions of emotions running through me all at once.

"come on! it'll be fun. i know we haven't known each other for long, but i need a roommate anyway and you seem like the perfect candidate." he says, smiling broadly.

"yes!" i say without thinking, and fling my arms around him and pull him tight to my body. he returns the gesture, and snakes his arms around my waist, and lightly places a kiss on my forehead. "thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you." i mumble into his chest, and his body vibrates with laughter. 

we eventually pull apart, and i suddenly don't feel as happy as i was just a second ago.

"so here's the plan, i've already payed for this place so do you think we go out and buy furniture today? this is all going and i'm planning on moving in tomorrow." calum explains, and i nod my head furiously. 

"lets go!" i squeal, and grab calum's hand. we go down in the lift together, and he hops into the passenger seat of my car. "where to?" i rub my hands together excitedly

"lets start off with ikea, and we'll go from there?" he suggests, and i rely with a yes whilst plugging my phone into the aux cord. immediately, angel with a shotgun by the cab starts blasting through the speakers, and calum and i both immediately start belting out the lyrics. once the songs finishes, we both stare at each other.

"you're really good at singing." we say to each other at the same time. which was true, as calum sounded like a freaking angel. 

"um, thanks." i say, and i can physically feel my cheeks turning red. i've never really sung in front of someone before. "you like the cab? they're literally my favourite band."

"yeah, they're awesome!" calum says, and chooses the next song, and i immediately recognize the chords of la la by once again, the cab.

we keep singing and talking until i pull up outside ikea. we both burst out of our seats, and run inside. i reach for a trolley, and calum jumps in and sits in it.

"ready?" i ask

"ready." he confirms.

i know its short and it sucks but i felt like i needed to update. the chapters will get better, i promise!

i'm going to share my she's kinda hot story:

so pretty much i live in nz, and i stayed up until 6 in the morning for the livestream (which they were fucking late for) and when it finally started, i got so excited, until i relalised the guy was gonna just keep spraypainting. i watched for an hour, but it's now seven am and i havent slept so i decide to go to sleep and i woke up half an hour later for school. 

anyways, please vote and comment! because i dont really feel like updating if i feel like no one's reading/enjoying this book :-/
