"Hey! You need to start cooking and getting cleaned up! LET'S GO!!!'' Sena declared excitedly.

She's right! I grabbed my bags and walked down a short hall I saw that was next to the kitchen. I walked down it to see two rooms on either side and one bathroom between them.

"Your room is on the right," Sena half-yelled so I could hear her from where she had already gone into one of the doors.

Not bothering to look around my room, I dropped my stuff down, took out a plain t-shirt and a pair of killer black ripped skinny jeans and some socks. I took a quick shower and threw on my clothes so I could get started on the food quick. I was so excited to start cooking! I knew exactly what I wanted to eat too, my favourite comfort food. Hopefully Sena had all the ingredients.

"What are you going to make?" Sena asked me as we met again in the little hallway, and looking at me eagerly. You could tell she was hungry. Ah, this girl and her food...

"I have an idea but I need to look through your kitchen and see what you got, since I'm making this on the fly. I'm going to time myself and hopefully make everything in less than an hour." I replied, while my brain was busily going through recipes.

At that same time we both heard a knock at the door, and thought it must be Adeline. Sena went to open the door while I hurried to the kitchen. I soon heard the door open and sure enough it was Adeline.

"Hi, i'm here!" I heard Adeline's voice exclaim cheerily from out in the doorway.

"Come in!! JoJo hasn't started yet but she's starting now. Lets sit in the kitchen while JoJo cooks." I heard Sena say.

While all of this was happening, I found some pasta, tomatoes, onions, peppers and cheese.

"Damn, this is gonna be good..." I whispered to myself, smiling.

I planned to make a sauce with the tomatoes, diced bell peppers and onions for flavour. I cut the tomatoes down, threw them in a pan with olive oil and cooked them a bit so they could reduce quicker. I chopped up the onions and bell peppers, before taking out a blender and blending up the tomatoes so i could then strain the puree and separate the skins.

".....Machine!" I heard someone shout through the doorway behind me.

Adeline and Sena laughed. "YOU'RE LIKE A MACHINE!!!!!" they chimed in unison, as if on cue, before instantly looking at each other and bursting out laughing again.

"Oh, sorry! It's just when I cook, I want to focus on it so I can put my maximum amount of JoJo Love into it!" I spun around, still holding the knife, and winked jokily at them, all of us melting into a pool of laughter.

As we chatted endlessly about random things, I finished the food in under an hour. Anyone could tell we were going to get on like a house on fire, the three of us. I was so looking forward to living here for the next few months.

A couple of minutes later, I was sat around my new neighbour Sena's table with her and her American friend, Jojo, who was coming over to live here in London and study for a while. I wasn't sure if her name was short for anything or if that was her actual name or what, but I just left it and didn't ask. Despite only just having met them, I actually found them really friendly and welcoming, and I felt like I'd known them for years already.

"Mmm! It's really good!" Sena exclaimed after finishing her first mouthful of the food Jojo had cooked for us. "Thank you so much for making this! How are you such a good cook?"
"Well, you know me," Jojo grinned and flipped her wavy black hair dramatically, causing Sena to chuckle a bit. I could tell how they'd been friends for years, even if it had just been online.
"So, Adeline," Sena started, turning to me. "You'll be going to the same university as us, you said?"
"Yeah. I'm not from London... I moved here today so I could go."
"Where are you from?"
"I lived in Bournemouth. But my family is originally from South Korea."
"Woah, really?" Sena widened her eyes, and then paused for a couple of seconds. "What are you studying?"
"Filmmaking, you?"
"I'm doing art."
Jojo joined in. "I'm doing cooking!"
Sena nodded pointedly at her plate of food. "Obviously."
In what seemed like a split second, Sena's eyes lit up and she suddenly shot down her cutlery against her plate with a "chink" noise. "Oh my god, guys! Talking about food... we should all get jobs together at this place I go to all the time."
"Place?" Jojo looked at her inquisitively. "Do you mean a restaurant or something?"
"Yeah! It's a small restaurant near the university, and they're hiring waitresses. I was thinking of applying, but now you're here, we should all apply together."
"Sure, why not, it seems like a good idea," I agreed.
"Ok, let's do that then!" jojo said
