Los Angeles is a big city, well that is what I think. Probably due to the fact that i haven't been out of my area after living here for the past 5 years. I was 18 when I moved here for a better job. My parents had died in a robbery, 7 years ago in New York. So it was safe to say I was alone and on my own. I had finished my studies over the past few years and worked as a teacher at a local school near by. My qualification was more than of a teacher but I had wanted a normal living here. Nothing too big. My pay was good enough.
The school bell went off indicating that it was time for everyone to go home. "Alright class, You can go now. Don't forget to do your homework I will be taking a quick test tomorrow!" I yelled over the chatter amongst the 11-12 year olds. I picked up my file and books along with my hand bag. Sorting out the classroom in 10 minutes, I fumbled with the keys trying to find the right one. I stepped out of the door and locked it behind me. Quickly I left the school and went towards the parking lot and found my old Civic '95. I drove 5 KM before parking my car in the street.
I walked towards the building which held the penthouse me and 2 other girls were sharing. It was not on rent. We had gotten close so we combined our money and paid for it. I was about to get into the elevator but a certain annoying face stopped me from going any further. "What?", I asked in a bored tone. "Why the long face sweet cheeks? I coulda do somethin' to cheer ya up baby face. Come on now dont look at me like that.", Said the weird guy who vaguely reminded me of this character from an old movie I liked called 'While you sleep'. I wonder if i have this guy after me trying to swoon me, would I like a strong gorgeous man that would fall somewhere and hit his head then go into coma while everyone thinks i'm his fiancé? I shook my head getting rid of the strange thoughts and ignored Ronny. I got into the elevator and pressed the button for the pent house.
The elevator took its time taking me to the pent house. Some people had filled in along the way. I huffed and waited getting impatient as people kept filling in. Scared for dear life that the elevator would break from the amount of people, I walked out of it and took the stairs.
"Elle bell!", Lara yelled as she engulfed me in a bear hug. Lara Connor was an extreme hugger. She even hugged strangers i tell you. "Hey Larry." I hugged her back tighter as she was my best friend for life. She had saved me many times and helped me in everything, from boys to girl stuff. I went inside and put my bag in my room along with the other things. "Long day?" Connie asked striding into the room as. I had finished putting my things away. "You have no damn idea!" I exclaimed. I plopped myself on the bed and groaned. "I can tell from the looks of it! I also heard some huge club opened up in this side of the city. Like who in their right mind would open a club business here?" She rambled on and on about the club as i zoned out thinking about twinkies. Damn, i need twinkies. "Ellesse! Pay attention! We are going to the club whether you like it or not." She said, snapping her fingers in my face. "But i'm so tired Connie! Let me sleep this weekend." I whined, pouting at her. She gave a her best glare and i nodded agreeing to go with her. I dozed off to have some energy before we went to the club tonight.
My sleep was short because..
"Get the hell up you lazy bimbo!" "You have no dress for clubbing and that is why we are going to the mall!" "Get up get up!" My friends started yelling, jolting me awake. I glared at them making them laugh. "Now now you dont meet new people, so somebody has to do it for you!" Lara cheered. I groaned. "In my defence i don't bug people." I replied before getting up and making my way over to the bathroom.
