A loud crash wakes you up with a startled jump. Rolling over You release a groan.

Your eyes fall on Becca and to see You're not the only one annoyed at the sudden wake up call. Becca is sat up in her bed glaring at the bedroom door.

"What was that?" You croak out getting Becca's attention.

She doesn't pull her eyes from the door "Tracy having no respect."

Oh yes Tracy that rat, joking You love Tracy even when she does wake you up at ridiculous times. You've been staying with becca, the best friend ever, and her mum (Tracy) until your Flat becomes available to move in. You've been with them for a little over two weeks now and Have come to learn that Tracy makes a lot of noise in the mornings when leaving for work especially when she slams that damn front door shut behind her.

Rubbing your eyes you yawn and smack your lips a few times letting the last of the sleep leave your system.

Becca rolls out of bed wrapping herself up in her pink blanket "I'm gonna have a bath." She mumbles dragging her feet across the carpet and out the room not waiting for an answer.

Leaning over you pick up your phone scrolling through social media. There's not much to catch up on so with a tired sigh you too decide to get up.

Your stomach grumbles so that's what you decide to do next.

Leaving your phone on the counter you grab what's needed for a bowl of cereal.

You're pouring the milk on top the Frosties when your phone dings.

Amba: it's ready!

It takes you a few seconds to understand what she means then you let out an excited squeal. "Becca!" You scream loudly.

There's a bang then the sound of water running and you know becca must have taken the plug out her bath. Foot steps pad above you then a rushed dressed and panicked looking (still wet by the way) becca appears half way up the stairs "are you okay?!" She breathes out worried.

"It's ready!"

Becca's scared expression drops as she grins "when can we move in?! I mean you... when can you move in? Today?"

You chuckle at her. Becca's as excited about the move as you. "I mean I assume today yeah. Let me message her and double check."

Only a few seconds pass before you get the answer that yes you can move today all you need to do is meet Amba to collect the key.

"I'm nervous... but exited" you mumble.

"Me too! Let me dry and get dressed then we can go get the key now if you want?" Becca smiles reassuringly.

"Okay." You nod grabbing your cereal "I'll eat this and get dressed."

~*~*~

You nervously play with you fingers as you walk around the back of the flats and to the entrance.

Amba is stood with a wide smile "Here you go. I'll check in with you every few weeks." She holds out a silver key that you take. This is now your key to your flat. Oh my god.

Amba gives you the last few details before wishing you luck and walking away.

You step forwards putting they key into the lock and turn it. There's a dim hall way with some stairs so with a glance over your shoulder at becca you step in. It smells dusty but could be much worse.

As you walk the steps you can't help but think what a pain it is going to be to carry all your furniture up, well first you have to buy it. Deal with that first then stress about carrying it up.

You see your door. It's a dark red almost brown.

"You ready?" Becca asks.

"Um yeah." You swallow roughly before unlocking the door.

There's a small entry walk way with a cupboard on the right hand side. The walls are white and the floors are a dark wood. Walking further in you see there's a large open plan area with a small kitchen attached. There's enough room to have a small table and chairs as well as a tv, sofa and any other item that belong in a living and dinging room. There's two widows at the opposite end of the room that show out onto the town.

There's a small cute spiral staircase to take you up to where your bedroom and bathroom are.

"How the hell are we going to get a bed up these stairs?" Becca wonders out loud following you up the narrow steps.

You ignore her since you don't have a clue yourself.

You're taken straight up into an empty room. The floors a white carpet that looks a little dirty and could use a good scrub. The walls are much like downstairs and the windows are in similar places.

There's a white glossy door so you walk over pulling it open. There's a basic bathroom with a toilet and bath that has a over top shower head too.

You smile with a small nod. It could do with some work but it's do-able.

"We're gonna make this so cute!" Becca chirps and you nod letting a grin fill your face.

Hell yeah we are!
