Best Friend + Matthew Espinosa

62. The friendly neighbors

Didn't have time to peer edit so 🐻 with me. HAHHH 😂😂😂

"Finally!" I jump out off the car and sigh in relief. We made it. I look down at my phone to check the current time. It's only 12:38 pm and my ass hurts. I've been sitting in the car for the past 5 hours. I really want to take a nap but we don't have a bed yet.

"Do you have the key?" He asked me taking some of our bags out of the trunk. We only brought like clothes, shoes, and bathroom essentials. We decided to go shopping later at target and maybe buy some furnitures, if we have enough money. Pretty sure we do but we'll see.

"No, I don't have it." I lie, I'm in the mood to mess around with him for a bit.

"Didn't she lend you the key?" He asks patting his pockets looking for it. I bite on my bottom lip trying to hold back a laugh.

"Yeah but I gave it to you." I say sounding worried.

"Babe." He sighs, still looking for the key. "Babe, I don't have it." He groans.

"Are you sure?" I asked he nodded. He brushes his hair with his fingers groaning.

"Our first day living on our own and we manage to lose the damn keys. Great, fucking great!" He pinches the bridge of his nose. My teeth release my bottom lip before I started laughing. "Why are you laughing? This isn't the time to laugh, Jannalyn."

"Babe." I stopped him from walking towards the driver seat. "I have it." I hold up my hand which where I have the keys.

"You little.." He manages to smile taking the key out of my hands and walk back to our stuffs. I continued laughing at him shaking my head. He locks the car then stuff both keys into his pocket before bending down to carry our stuffs. My laugh fades before I helped him.

I followed him to the elevator that will take us up to our apartment. There was already someone inside the elevator. It's a dude who's really tall, maybe a few inches taller than Matthew, he's blonde with blue eyes. He's leaning against the wall with his arms cross with a skateboard leaning on him.

We give me a nice smile as Matthew puts one bag done onto the floor before pressing our apartment floor level, which is 3A. This apartment complex has about 5 levels and our new home is located on the 3rd floor.

"Let me guess, moving in?" The blonde tall kid spoke. Matthew and I turn our heads to face him.

"Yup!" Matthew chuckles giving him a friendly nod.

"You guys attending UC Davis as well?" He asked. I furrowed my eyebrows slowly nodding. How does he know?

"Actually, yes. How'd you know?" I asked.

"A lot of people move in here who are attending UC Davis, actually. But there are some old folks- old as in, not as young us as, that's not what I meant! Like- What I mean is they don't- don't go to college anymore- blah blah. You guys get it?" He gave up trying to explain what he meant making me laugh.

"We get what you mean." Matthew laughs along with me. "Do you go to UC Davis too?"

"Nah, bro. College isn't really my thing. If I hated high school back then, then why the fuck do I want to go to college?" We nod understanding.
