"No! I promise I'm happy for you." I smiled into my MacBook Air.

"Really? You promise?" Quinn stuck her bottom lip out.

"I did say promise, didn't I?" I asked.

"Oh okay. I just feel so bad."

"Don't. Go have fun with your boyfriend, okay?
I gotta go find a new BETTER roommate." I joked.

Quinn dramatically gasped. "You know what? I will."

I laughed.

"Bye amor!"

"Bye." I said and hung up the phone with a big sigh.

I went on my phone to text my messages. I sent most of my contacts the same message.

Me- Hey! Don't mean to bother,
but do you know anyone
who would like to be my roommate?

I sent that message to about fifteen people and I got the same response from each person.

No.

Rent is coming up soon, how the hell am I supposed to pay bills here if it's so damn expensive?

I scratched my head in annoyance.

Maybe I should ask Quinn?

Me: hey Quinn
