My Roommate, The Fukboi (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 8

******

I stared at the paper in my hand.

*LOOKING FOR A ROOMMATE TO HELP PAY RENT*
 
It seemed nice. It says that there is one bathroom, I can handle, cable, I can definitely handle, and help to pay with rent, got that one down. This is it. I can do this.

After school, I called the number that was listed at the bottom of the page. First time, sent to voicemail. Second time, sent to voicemail.

I waited a a few minutes and was about to call back again when the phone buzzed. I picked up right away.

"Hello?" I asked in a low voice. I didn't want my dad to hear. I went in the bathroom and closed the door. I knew he couldn't hear me in here.

"Hi, I was busy with work, did you call my number?" The person on the other line asked. It was a guy, which was great. He sounded nervous. Likewise.

"Um, yeah. I was wondering about the apartment." I asked, pacing back and forth in the bathroom.

"Yeah, I'm looking for a roommate. Are you interested?"

"Yeah. I was wondering when I could go see the apartment? To see if it's suitable." I didn't want to sound to pushy. I already knew I would take it. Anything to get away from him.

"Well, I'm busy right now but tomorrow would be great."

I hesitated for a minute. I have work tomorrow but this is important and I'm sure they could handle me gone one day. "Alright, what time would be good for you?"

"Maybe 4?"

"Yeah, I could work something out. If I could just get the address..."

"Yeah, yeah. I'll text it to you?"

"Great. I'll swing by later on tomorrow. Thanks." I said and hung up. This is it. Hopefully he'll accept me and my terms. All I really wanted to ask is if dogs were allowed. I made up my mind and I do want a dog. I'm actually thinking about going to the animal shelter later on this weekend.

But if he says no, then I'll have to deal with it. I turned my phone off and walked out. I started backing up a few things. Nothing major, just some things to get started. I was also going to see how early I could move in. I don't have a lot of accessories that I needed to bring along. And it said on the paper that the apartment wasn't very big so I didn't need a lot. My phone buzzed and I guess that was the address.

It buzzed again and I pulled it out of my pocket. One message was from the number from before and the other was from Nick.

'Hey dude, my mom and sister went out to eat, wanna come over?' 

I looked around the room. I'll have enough time to pack up tomorrow. I texted back.

'Yeah, on my way'

I hid the bags in my closet and grabbed my keys. I walked down the stairs and he wasn't in sight. I opened the door and left. I got to Nicks house a few minutes later.

I locked my car and knocked on his door. He opened the door, dressed in a baggy t-shirt and sweatpants. "Come on in." He said, opening the door wider.

I walked in and sat down on his couch. He shut the door and came and sat by me. He turned on the tv and put on a random show. I looked over at him, smiling. "Guess what?"

"Chicken butt." He said, smiling.

I shook my head. "No. I'm going to the apartment tomorrow. I called the guy who put the ad up and he said I could come see the apartment tomorrow." I said, wide grin on my face.
