*Before we begin I want to make it clear who is talking Mia is the regular text and E is the bold text*


I really hate Aubrey right now, curse her for having a perfect relationship with a perfect boyfriend who owns a perfect apartment and has just asked her to move in with him. UGH! How can she do this to me? We've been best friends since high school and now she just trades me for Trevor? Really, Trevor? I mean he is kind of perfect always so sweet, very handsome and I can truly tell he loves her. Crap I can't even hate her for choosing him over me, I would choose him over me.

I just hate that they decided to do this a month after I renewed my lease now I'm stuck with the apartment for another year. I mean I can afford it on my own but I don't need a two bedroom apartment.

I walk across campus posting my yellow flyers advertising an available room, all over the student bulletin boards. It's already a month into the school year I highly doubt anyone will even call me but it's worth a try.

....

It's been a few days and no one has called about the room. Well one person did but it didn't count he was a 46 years old man, when I explained that I was a 20 year old college girl he didn't see the problem with that so I just decided to discard his request.

"You should've just accepted his request! I really don't see the big deal Mia!" She tries to keep a straight face but bursts into laughter a few seconds later.

"Screw you! You're the whole reason I'm in this mess!"

"Hey! It isn't my fault I was not expecting Trevor to ask me to move in with him so soon."

I'm helping her unpack the few boxes she has left. Yesterday we went shopping for new curtains and hung up some pictures on the wall. Their apartment is really starting to come together and I'm actually very jealous.

She was always the one with the boyfriend always the one that had the boys hanging all around her and I never really cared. But now we are grown ups, we are in our third year of college and seeing her settling in with someone and starting to get her life together is sorta making me feel depressed for myself. I'm all alone she's the only person I have and now she is gone too in a way.

"I gotta go my literature class starts in 20 minutes." I say getting up off her kitchen floor and grabbing my bag.

"Okay, hey you know I'm sorry right? I never meant to just leave you like this. And that i love you!" She says.

I roll my eyes, "yeah I know you dork, and I'm okay really, I love you too." She blows me a kiss before I head out the door.

My literature class drags on for what feels like forever, I still have 40 minutes left and I already ran out of games to play on my phone. A new message suddenly pops up on my screen.

Hey Mia

It's an unknown number.
