"And, make sure your bills are paid by the end of the week there, miss," Y/N's landlord, Monika, sneered at her as Y/N stepped off the elevator after coming back from college classes. "You know I hate tenants who pay their rent late..."

"Mrs. Müller, I've always paid the rent on time!" Y/N stuttered as she looked at the older lady in front of her and defended herself. "I have for the past nine months I have lived here in your apartment complex!"

"Whatever you say, miss, just don't forget about your dues," Monika rolled her eyes before she stepped into the elevator and left Y/N in her thoughts.

"Who crapped in her breakfast this morning?" Y/N grumbled under her breath as she trudged to the front door of the apartment that she had shared with two other girls from her major. "And to think, she'd remember my name by now..."

Her two roommates, Natascha and Sabine, were anything but nice. They were from a background where they were fed with a gold spoon and they were able to get away with anything and everything. Their father was the head of a major finance firm in Switzerland and hence, their upbringing was a bit more spoiled than others.

Y/N opened the door to the apartment and saw that the entire apartment was a pigsty compared to when she had left this morning to attend her classes for the day.

"Oh good, she's back from classes," she heard Sabine exclaim to Natascha from her bedroom before she peeked her head out slightly to look at Y/N. "The living room needs to be vacuumed and the dishes need to be cleaned, Sam," Sabine disinterestedly spoke to her roommate, who was not even surprised at the behavior.

"How many times do I have to tell you two that my name is Y/N?" Y/N grit her teeth together as anger boiled in her blood as she looked at Sabine, "and we have a perfectly working vacuum cleaner and dishwasher; I'm sure you can do some work on your own."

"And risk chipping my nails?" Sabine sneered as she looked at her French manicured acrylics and shook her head, "some of us are not that barbaric," she had an evil smirk on her face as she pointed towards the vacuum cleaner. "But, since you're here, clean up the place; it's getting so messy that I cannot even stay here anymore."

And just like that, Sabine went back to her room; leaving Y/N by herself in the living room. Sighing to herself, she grabbed the Dyson and found the outlet for the plug and plugged it in; getting started on her household chores.

"I swear to god, I'm doing all the dirty work and they don't even chip in..." Y/N decided to plug in her earbuds and listen to music as she worked on her chores. It was also a way for her to get in the zone and stay focused.

"Riya, can you come clean up my bedroom for me? It's a mess and I can't stand it!" Y/N sighed as she sat down on the couch, only to hear Natascha shriek out for Y/N to clean up once again. "And, I'm not that patient, so you better come up here right now!"

Y/N grudgingly got up from her seat and walked into Natascha's room – which looked like a hurricane made a landfall in a bedroom and left behind so much debris.

"Oh my god, your bedroom is a mess!" Y/N gasped as she saw the piles of clothes that surrounded the room. "Natascha, why is your room like it just was hit by a hurricane?!"

"I was trying to find the perfect dress for the ball tonight, duh!" Natascha scoffed as she walked in and out of her walk-in closet she had insisted be installed into her bedroom.

"What ball?" Y/N asked as she started to pick up one of the dresses off the floor and started to fold it.

"The ball that's being held by Prince Nico," she sighed dreamily as she stayed in the closet and talked about it, "it's only the hottest social ball of the year and rumor has it that the Prince is seeking to find his love tonight at the ball; might as well dress to impress!"
