Eve's perspective

me and my best friend Olivia just moved into an apartment together. We just graduated high school and are now going to the same college. We have known each other ever since 5th grade. Olivia may be a little hard to handle sometimes but that's what makes us such good friends. Today is the first day in our new apartment and my first day living away from home so i hope it goes great.

"did you finish unpacking yet?" Olivia says standing at the door. "not yet we just got here" i respond. "well hurry up i want to check out our neighbors. do you think any of them are hot?" after 30 more minutes of unpacking i was ready to join Olivia on her boy hunt. She is the girly girl of the two of us but she would never admit it. She is always chasing after guys and falling for anyone that says they love her. Me on the other hand i haven't dated since sophomore year. we walked around the hallway until Olivia decided on a door that "had a cute guy in it". we knocked on the door and an elderly women walked out. the smell of cats flew out of the room and Olivia had an unhappy expression. I was holding in my laugh and covering my mouth so she wouldn't see me smiling. "oh uh sorry we just wanted to introduce ourselves." she said shamefully. "i'm Olivia and this is my roommate Eve" the lady turned to me smiled and closed the door. "she didn't have to be so rude about it" Olivia said storming away. right when the door shut i began laughing like a maniac. "you should have seen your face!" i said falling down. we went to a few more apartments but to no luck did Olivia find her hot guy. "oh come on olive don't loose hope" "i didn't loose hope and what did i say about calling me olive" we eventually went back to our apartment and Olive went strait to bed. it was only about 7 so i decided to get us some dinner from a nearby taco bell. "i'm going out" i scream as i grab my coat and lock the door behind me.

i was waiting in line trying to decide what i wanted when this guy bumped into me spilling his drink all over my shirt. "oh sorry" he said. the sound of his voice was low and quiet and he didn't seem very confident. the look in his eyes was sad and he just walked out the door without another word. i didn't think much of it so i went on with my life. when i got home I saw him sitting in front of the apartment across from ours. Thinking he had followed me to kill or rape me I asked him why he was sitting on the floor. he looked up with the same sad eyes and said "i forgot my key in the apartment and i'm waiting for management to get here to let me in. I could feel the dumb look on my face. he lived in the same building as me. I smiled and said "oh ok sorry for bugging you" and walked to my apartment opened the door and found Olivia laying on the floor. "are you ok?" she looked up gave me a half hearted smile and said "i didn't find a single cute guy here, wait what happened to your shirt?" realizing our neighbor was still in the hallway with the door wide open i closed it and threw her food at her. "i'm going to bed and you don't need a guy to be happy, and some guy just bumped me at taco bell and his drink went all over me " i say as i close my bedroom door. i throw the food on my bed and get out my chair and laptop. i set my laptop up on my already unpacked dresser, grab my food, and sit down.

After i eat i grab pj's and a towel and head to the bathroom. i undress and take a shower. i'm in the shower washing my hair when the image of our neighbor pops in my head. the one sitting outside his apartment alone. i wonder if he lives with anyone? I get dressed and go into the hallway. all the lights our out so i guess Olivia's already in bed. she doesn't have a laptop like me and even if she did she would never use it, however she does have a T.V. in her room. i listen but i don't here anything so i creep into my room as silently as i possibly could. i close the door and sit there for a little bit. why was i thinking about him? i couldn't have a crush on him i just met the guy. maybe it was his sad look. I've been told i am the nicest person ever and i believe it. That has to be it he looked so sad i guess i feel bad for the guy. I lay down and go to bed.

I woke up from Olivia jumping on my bed and screaming in my face. "wake up wake up I've got news for you!" i get up and rub my eyes and look at her annoyed. i may be nice but i am for no means a morning person. "what do you want?" i ask sleepily. Olivia stands up proudly and says "i have a boyfriend." how could she possibly have a boyfriend it's not even 9:30 am yet. she interrupted my thought and continued her story. "it was this morning, i got up and went to get the mail. i tripped on the curb and he caught me. we stared into each others eyes for what felt like a life time then he said he had never seen someone so pretty and asked me out. i couldn't turn him down so i agreed without hesitation." she looked so proud of herself like she had just cured cancer. It was to early in the morning for this so I pushed her out my door gave her an i don't care look and went back to bed.

Ya sorry if there is misspelled words or bad Grammer I'm not really one for books. I guess I'm mainly writing this cause it's summer and I have nothing to do but if you do like it cool.
