August

After that encounter, you don't hear about the girl. You start thinking that it was a one time thing when August rolls in. You're in a tiny, sort of indie café, looking for a new apartment, when you finally see her. She's stapling a yellow paper in a small board they have for announcements. You get up and stand behind here as she struggles with the stapler. When she finally gets it up, you whisper in her ear,

"Looking for a roommate, huh?"

She jumps slightly and turns around, a mortified look on her face. She points at me and her eyes grow wider. For some reason that makes you smile. You tell her that yes, you are the guy from before and that you're actually looking for an apartment. After convincing her that you are in fact not stalking her, you ask when you can drop by and see the apartment. She seems to think over for a few seconds before walking away. Your shoulder slump down and you feel defeated until you see her turn around and ask,

"You coming or what?"
