I had my 2 boxes stacked on top of each other, blocking my face so I couldn't see anything but the floor. I opened the door with my foot and slowly shifted inside and noticed from the corner of my eye the man at the counter looking at me strangely.

"Are you ok miss?" He asked

"YA I'm fine. Just struggling to move in haha."

"Would you like some help with that miss?"

"Um no I think I'm good but thank you!"

I went towards the elevator and shifted myself so I could see the "broken" sign on it.

"Oh sorry miss the elevator will be repaired soon! What horrible timing haha"

I smiled and walked towards the steps. What horrible timing was right. Of course this would happen to me on the day where a million boxes need to be singly carried by me up and down many flights of steps.

I carefully put my right foot on the first step and the my left, and once I got the hang of it with the heavy boxes full of clothes and kitchen supplies, I started walking normally up. I was still on the 1st flight when I heard fast footsteps. I began to panic as I realized that I couldn't see and there was no room next to me. the footsteps got louder and louder when BAM!

My boxes flew out of my hands into the floor of the lobby and thankfully I held onto the railing and pulled myself back up un injured. I looked up will anger at a boy who stood there with his phone to his ear. his hair was in a beanie and he had a piercing on his bottom lip. We finally made eye contact and he hung up his phone and broke into laughter trying to speak.

"I-I'm so-so sorry" he said trying to catch his breath.

I finally smiled and went back down the steps to pick up my boxes again. He followed and we met on the floor of the lobby.

"Im maz" he said holding out his hand for me to shake. He had a British accent...cute

I ignored his handshake and bent down to put my wisk and measuring cup back in my kitchen supplies box.

"Got a little sass I see...let me help you with that."

He went to my clothes box and looked down and turned back to me.

"Jeez we just met and I'm already on 3rd base" he said with a grin as he picked up a pair of my lace underwear. I quickly ran to grab them when he pulled them back.

"Uh uh uh...tell me your name first"

"My name is Scarlet ok?! Now give me that" I snatched my panties and threw them back In the box.

"Someone's a little stressed today"

He was right I was stressed. All this unpacking was going to take forever and here I was by myself just walking up and down the stairs over and over again with no help at all. I don't know why I told that man that I didn't want help. I'm an idiot. I bet Amy already has like 2 other people helping her right now. She was always the more outgoing one. Our parents always told me that I was so beautiful yet so shy and independent but I beg to differ. I just needed to hurry up so I can see my best friend.

"Look it was Nice meeting you..."

"It's maz"

"MAZ that's right. Well I gotta go but thanks for taking 15 minutes out of my packed day-bye" I said quickly as I stacked my 2 boxes and walked towards the stairs again.

"Wait!"

I stopped and slowly turned back around with an obvious annoyed look on my face.

"Give me those boxes. You go get 2 more. Let me help you get settled- it's the least I could do"

I walked towards him and gave him the 2 boxes and went back out and did what he said.

I'm glad I have some help. This will get done 10x quicker.
