As I and my friends walked out of the airport, we all looked in wonder at the streets of London. Cars rushed by, people filled every sidewalk, and bustling noises flooded my ears. My face stretched into a grin, this was exactly what I had dreamed of. Getting out of the small town I grew up in and going to live in a big city was a childhood dream that was finally being realized! Not only that, but I didn't need to take a break from my studies to be able to travel and see one of the most influential cities in Europe. Goodbye USA! Hello London!

Our Uber finally arrives and pulls up next to the curb. The driver hops out and helps to load all of our suitcases into the car. I and the other girls pile in, obviously claiming shotgun while the other three mushed into the back seat. Ell, Matilda, and Tamara glared at me from the backseat while I simply stuck my tongue out at them. Once everyone buckled, the driver took off putting the route to our new place into their phone. My excitement only grew as we rushed past the endless rows of buildings...

Finally, the car pulled up to a large suburban two-story home. My pupils widened and I had to bite my lip to stifle a squeal from breaking free. It was PERFECT, everything I had wanted and more. I had always dreamed of living in a big home with my friends one day. We all quickly grabbed our suitcases and rushed to the door. Ell grabbed the key and opened the door. "I call the biggest room!" called Ell as she rushed up the staircase to find the perfect room. "No fair!" Matilda and I yelled as we ran up after her. As the two of us got to the top of the staircase a hallway split two ways. I ran to the right as Matilda ran to the left. I was surprised to find nothing but a dead-end, but upon further inspection, a pull string hung from the ceiling. I gritted my teeth as I reached up having to stand on my tippy toes to grab it and pulled the string as hard as I could. The trapdoor swung down with a ladder coming down with it. I climbed quickly up the ladder with my bag swung over my shoulder. I entered a small dark room, pulling my phone out of my pocket I double-clicked to turn on the flashlight. A large wooden bookcase covered the expanse of the back wall. It was perfect! But definitely needed some work... I sat down my bag on the floor and climbed back down. 

There was a bathroom halfway down the hall between my room and the staircase, I peaked into a basic full bathroom setup. Making a mental note to buy supplies, I then walked down the hall to where Ell and Matilda had wandered. Two doors sat an equal difference from each other. I walked into the door on the right to Ell unpacking her things. She had somehow brought a neon cola sign in her bag and had already fixed it to her wall as well as four different cola posters. I gave her a perplexed look, "Wow Ell you definitely make your interests obvious." She turned to look at me giving me a mischievous grin. Rolling my eyes I opened the door to the left of Ell's room. It opened into a two-sink bathroom with a shower. I continued walking and opened the door on the opposite side of the bathroom. Matilda was bent over removing the contents of one of her many suitcases onto the floor. I sighed seeing the already large pile of knickknacks accumulating on the floor. "Matilda... seriously we've talked about this, no more hoarding," I said. She looked at me blankly and then pulled a huge full-body mirror out of one of her other suitcases. I gave her an even more perplexed look than I had given Ell. I really don't know how the hell they do this. I shook my head and walked out of her room to go back down the staircase. 

Walking through the entryway I entered the kitchen. Looking through I saw the living room with two plush couches already sitting there. The mantle sat empty just waiting for a flat screen to be attached above. Walking the opposite way through the kitchen I entered an empty room with a door on the other side. The door opened, and Tori and Tamara walked out. They smirked at me triumphantly. "The basement is two huge bedrooms, nice one rushing upstairs," Tori said. I gave her a flat face and walked back out into the kitchen. Ell and Matilda had also come downstairs and were sitting on stools in the kitchen. "Ok guys we definitely need to go shopping," I said looking around the room at them. The four of them nodded unanimously. I called an Uber and we were off.

*Time Skip & Shopping Montage & Decorating*

We finally were home after hours of shopping. It was already 5 p.m. and I was exhausted. Tori yelled at everyone to come downstairs to go to meet her brother. We all trooped downstairs and outside next door. Tori knocked on the door and we were greeted by a thick Norwegian accent startlingly like Tori. The door opened and we were greeted by Tori's male mirror image. They were so similar I had to rub my eyes to make sure I wasn't seeing them wrong. "Hi I'm Tord" he greeted us. Three other guys walked up behind him. "Ah, and these are my friends and roommates. The guy with the cola can in his hand is Edd. The guy with the apathetic look and blue hoodie is Tom. And, finally, we have Matt the ginger one." He said gesturing at each of them while he spoke. We all exchanged awkward hellos. "This is Y/N, Tamara, Ell, and Matilda," Tori said while also gesturing at each of us. "Ah and I'm Tord's sister, Tori if you weren't already aware because this dumbass didn't tell you," she said playfully punching him in the shoulder. Tord chuckled and offered for us to come inside. We all stepped in placing our shoes at the door. Matt excitedly asked if we would like to watch a movie. I quickly nodded anything that would cut through the tension in the room. The other girls nodded in agreement and we walked through their entryway into the living room.
