"Yeah mom I'll be fine, yeah I'm just unpacking stuff right now." I said as I removed the bubble wrap from the vase.
I just arrived at my new apartment in Manhattan, I had called my mom to tell her that I reached, but as soon as she got to know that my best friend/ roommate, Brook won't come until next month, she asked me to go back to Ohio, it took a lot of convincing, for her to let me stay.
"Mom I'm a little busy right now so can I like call you later?"
"OK honey, be safe and don't forget to keep me updated."
"Yeah OK mom." And I cut the call as soon as possible, she be lecturing me for over an hour now.
I look around and the apartment was beautiful, most of the things were already furnished, like the couch, TV, the coffee table and the dining table. Just as you enter the apartment the dining table comes first and adjacent to it is the couch and in front of it is the TV, further away there is a balcony with a few potted plants,

This is like the best house I've ever seen, it was Brook's idea that we move to Manhattan for our further studies, and the only reason my mom let me go was-
*Flashback*
6 months back
"Mom please let me go, Brook is there with me" I pleaded
"I'm sorry honey but you're too young to go live there"
"But mom I will be living with Brook."
"My decision is final"
"Dad can you tell mom to let me go" I asked my dad who was sitting on couch and reading the Times.
"Honey let Ray go she's 18 after all and also Patrick lives there too we can ask him to look after her." Dad explained.
"See mom? Dad has a point I'm old enough to look after myself and also if something happens Patrick is there." Patrick is my cousin from my mom's side, so if Patrick is there then my mom would let me go where ever I want.
"Ugh fine you may go"
"Woo hoo thanks dad, love you" I hugged him
*End of Flashback*
Well all thanks to Patrick, its because of him I'm here.
Just a little touches here and there and it will look perfect. Wait until Brook sees this.
*Ring*Ring* Ring*
"Hey Gurl" It was Brook on the line.
"Wassup!" I said as I fixed the last picture on the wall.
"So did you reach?"
"Bro I reached like two hours ago."
"You should have called me!" Brook wined
"My mom called and she was anxious that I had to live alone until you come."
"Sorry hon, I'll try and come as soon as I can."
" You better cuz there's lots of things I can't do alone." I said as I started to stack up the empty boxes.
"Like what?"
" Like the curtains, putting the kitchen ware in the cabinets cleaning and dusting and-"
"Ok fine chill, I said I'll come as soon as I can"
"Good"
"Listen Ray my dad's calling I'll talk to you later, bye"
"Yeah, bye" I sighed.
"What should I do now?" I laid on the couch, almost every thing was done, I to only unpack my clothes. I was scrolling through my phone when something popped in my head.
"Why don't I introduce myself to the neighbours?" I stood up from there, walked towards the door, checked out myself in the mirror and flug the door open.
