Irina's POV
The deal was made and now all I have to do is shift all my belongings from my apartment. I was living with my mom. She was my last support. My living, she was earning for us and did pretty hard work. But two months back, she got killed in a car accident. Now I have nowhere to go as I don't have a job. Soon I will get one. It is just a matter of time, I guess.

During the whole lectures I wasn't able to concentrate. It just felt like an impossible job. The last bell rang and I started packing my things. Jane was in this class with me and as I had promised to go have a bite with her after that she approached me.

"Let's get going" she said moving in front of me.

I think you should talk to Jake first and take his address.

Oh! Right brain. For the first time you have given me the right advice.

It made me sad.

Go away!

Okay, bye!

Bye.

Me and brain said our farewells and then I did what she said me to.

"Actually Jane. I'll meet you in ten. Can you please wait at the parking lot if you have a car?" I asked looking towards her with pleading eyes. Please say yes.

"Sure" she replied and moved. I walked to the terrace. When we last met it was the terrace so, I have a feeling he might be there. He is there.

"Hmm...Jake?" I called out his name. He turned around and smiled.

"Yes?" He said moving towards me.

"Your address?" I asked with a book and pen in my hand and gave it to him.

He scribbled something on it and gave it back to be and then continued with his whatever looking he was doing. Without bothering him I went out.

As planned Jane was waiting at the parking lot near her car. I waved at her and she waved back. I walked towards her. She hugged me and then we sat in her car.

"So where shall we go?" She asked grinning wickedly and tapping her fingers on the steering wheel.

"I don't know. I think Dominos" I replied.

"Then get ready sweetheart" she said and started driving like a drunkard. Her driving is horrible.

"Here we are" she said, cheerfully. I realised it just then. I got out of the car and walked inside Dominos.

"How about I pay. I want to pay for you please" she gave me her puppy eyes face and I couldn't resist it for any longer. We ate a pizza and she paid. After that we again got in her car. She said, she would drop me. On the way we made small talks.

"So what does your father do?" She asked me.

"I don't know" I replied that was actually a whisper.

"What do you mean you don't know?" She questioned again. This time her driving was much better than the last time.

Are you sure you want to share?

What are you doing here? Get lost!

You hurt my feelings. Anyways, bye!

Bye!

"After he left me and mom alone, I have no idea where he is" I replied. I wasn't sad at all. I hate boys and let's be honest I totally despise the idea of being a roommate of Jake Anderson but I don't really care about him.

"Sorry" Jane realised and apologised with a sad expression.

"Never mind" I said, waving my hands at her. There was some awkward silence for awhile.

"How about your father?" I asked, trying to lighten up the scenario.

"Oh! You have heard about Mr. Felix Black. He is my father" she replied. So, she is the daughter of multi-millionaire Felix. I see.

"We have arrived near your apartment" she said and I just recognised.

"You're right" I said getting out of her car. I waved bye to her and moved inside my apartment. I unlocked my apartment's door and moved inside. It wasn't even a minute yet and there was a knock at the door of my flat. I looked through the keyhole. It was Mrs. Buckley. She is the owner of this building and she was here to remove me from this apartment. I opened the door and let her in first.

"Hello Irina. I came to inform you that I want this apartment empty by night. There is another family coming to stay here" she said and I simply nodded. What can I possibly say anyways? She left my flat. I groaned in frustration and started with my packing. The furniture wasn't mine so, I decided to leave it there. Secondly, I don't think Jake want some furniture at his apartment.

I packed all my clothes, favourite books and other clothing materials inside my suitcase and by the end I had one suitcase and two big bags. So, how am I going to get there? Suddenly, my phone started ringing. I looked at the screen it showed unknown number. I picked it anyways.

"Hello?" I said, adjusting the phone between my shoulder and ear as I redid my hair.

"Irina? It's me, Jake. I am downstairs of your building and now I'm coming up" he said from the other end of the phone and ended the call. Within minutes there was a knock on the door. I opened it and here he is. Jake Anderson.

"Hello there Irina. Let me help you" he said and picked all my luggage. Wait why am I even letting him do it.

"Wait!" I yelled from behind. He turned his head behind.

"What?" He asked. I didn't replied and simply took my suitcase and one bag.

"I just need help with that one" I said and moved down. He was surprised but followed behind. I gave the key to Mrs. Buckley and Jake kept all the luggage at the back of the car. He opened the passenger side door for me and let me in. He came and sat next to me. Now we are headed to his apartment. Me as his new roommate.
