Perfect Strangers

Chapter 3

I waked into the apartment and set all my stuff down on the island in the middle of the kitchen.

I yawn and sit on the couch as I study and eat some strawberries.
A little later the door swings open and Bradley walks through
"Hey there roomie"

I don't look at him instead I go back to doing my homework and maybe he will get the hint that I want him away from me.

But with my luck he sits next to me and eats my strawberries. I immediately slap his hand away and take all my stuff into my room.

I changed into some shorts and keep my white top on. I lay in my bed reading my history book when the front door opens and I hear Brad taking to someone in the kitchen.

The worst part was my strawberries were on the counter along with the rest of my stuff...I had to go out there.

I tip toe out of my room and make no contact with anyone in the room. An Unknown voice starts laugh as Bradley talks louder.

"Yeah so she's a little nerdy as you can tell" Brad says other things making me feel the acid tears coming back to fill my eyes.

My burning gaze faces Bradley and he just smirks. I grab my stuff and run out of the kitchen as hot tears stream down my face clouding my vision.

I mentally slap myself. Why was I crying? Bradley is a jerk and he should know that. Why was I stuck with him.. ugh.
***********
After the apartment went quiet a few hours later, I crept out to go sit in the couch. I lay down and scroll through Netflix. I turn on 'orange is the new black' and make some popcorn. I ended up falling asleep.

Later I slightly woke up still on the couch, Brad was laying a grey blanket over me and I steadied my breathing to make him think I was asleep. He turns off the tv and puts the bowl of popcorn in the sink. I see him wander into his bedroom and hear the door close. I was kind of lost now... I acually wanted his presence here again. I had a hard time drifting off to sleep again but eventually I did.

I awoke again later in the night hearing footsteps. That could only mean someone was ROBBING US?! I grab the throw pillow and carefully walk into the kitchen ready to knock out the robber with a small fluffy pillow.

Brad turns to me with a smirk across his face and full sarcasm in his voice "oooh nooo I am soooo scared of a pillow!" He puts a hand on his heart and then throws his hands up in defense.

"It sounded like a good ideas in my head" I mumble and start to walk back to the couch

"Cute idea" I heard him smirk and turn to see a beautifully displayed grin across his face "remind me to have you defend me in case of a robbery"

I rolls my eyes and throw the grey blanket over myself falling asleep again.

The next time I woke up it was 7:56 and I awoke to the smell of bacon. Mhhh I love bacon. Before I walk into the kitchen I brush my teeth because we all hate morning breathe. I shower and put on light washed jeans and a black shirt.

Walking into the kitchen I grab a piece of bacon before going to the fridge and pouring a glass of orange juice.

"Um that was my bacon"

I look at Brad "awww is someone mad because I took some" I walk into the living room laughing

He smirks and rolls his eyes before putting his plate into the sink. "Soooo what do you wanna do today?"

I stare at him and grin "who said I was going with you somewhere?"

"I did"

"Well I don't really want to do something"

"Your so lame

I grin "I don't care, I didn't ask for you as a roommate anyway" I say as I sit on the kitchen counter.

He leans over me on the counter and I sit there mybreathing get heavy "what... are you...you doing?"

He smiles leans closer then pulls away very fast and starts laughing "hahahahahahah your faceeeee"

I jump off the counter and walk into my room slamming the door as I enter. I sit on my phone for awhile and I can hear Brads friends walk through the door. There is no way I am going out there.

I look through my window and there might be a 5 door drop. Nothing too bad. I open my window silently and then fill a duffle bag with some clothes. Jumping out my window I walk about two blocks to an abandoned building.

MY abandon building.
