"Ashley, dear? Ben's in front and he's waiting for you," mom said while slowly entering my room.
"Already?! Isn't he a bit early?" I asked rubbing my eyes because I had just woken up.
"No dear, he came on time, but you're late." Mom explained. "Should I let him in?" She asked before leaving the room.
"Yea sure, tell him to come to my room." I smiled as she left, closing the door behind herself.
After a few minutes, I heard a knock on the door.
"COME IN!!" I yelled from the bathroom.
"Ash? Where you at?" Ben asked apparently not seeing me when he entered.
"I'm in the bathroom. Wait a bit. I'll come out as soon as I can," I said finishing my make up.
"Ash? It's been 17 minutes and 37 seconds.. Are you ready?" Ben nervously knocked on the door until I opened them.
"I'm ready, I'm ready, chill man.." I laughed when I saw his bored face. "You ok?"
"Yea, yea, I'm totally fine, yea, because, I totally wasn't waiting for you for-" He checked the time on his phone. "29 minutes and 59 seconds." He rolled his eyes bored. I just laughed. "Ready to go?"
"Umm.. Yea, I guess," I said not so sure I packed everything. "Um, I guess we can go.. If I forgot anything, mom will bring me.." I smiled taking my bag.
"Do you need help with your suitcase, um, suitcases?" Ben asked looking at both of my bags.
"Yes please!!" I said with a relief. "You're the best Bean!" That's what I used to call him when we were kids.
He rolled his eyes with a smile. "I know, thanks Trash." And that's his nickname for me, and I hate it!!
So, let me explain... Ben and I have been best friends since we were seven. He lives 10 minutes from my house, but he always picks me up when we go to school. But now, second year of high school is finished and I'm finally moving out, so he's helping me move out. Mom bought me an apartment across the new high school I will be going to so I could arrive faster, finally. But the thing is, I have to share that apartment with someone, I don't even know who yet. I hope we will get along well. Fingers crossed!!
"Ok, we're here. Do you want me to help you carry your stuff up?" Ben said once we arrived.
"Oh are you actually asking?! Yeaa!! I'm waiting Bean!!" I laughed as I got out of the car.
"I know you love me Trash." He laughed too taking my stuff out of his trunk.
"You dream!!" I yelled opening the front door of the apartment.
