He hears a knock at the front door as he comes back out of his own thoughts, as he walks out of his bedroom and over to the front door he hears a knock again "I'm coming"
As he opens the front door, he rubs his eyes as he leans against the door frame "Yea" he says to the person standing on the other side of the door with their back turned to the side
"Yea I just moved into the apartment upstairs and I was wondering if" The girl says as she turns around to face him "If you had a" the girl says before pausing "Lewis?"
"How did you" Lewis says trying to focus in on the girl in front of him "Emma?" he says reconizing the girl in front of him "What are you doing here?"
"I just got accepted to the college down the road" Emma says still looking confused as she continues "What are you doing here?"
"I'm in the science program at the same school, I've been here since last spring and then this summer"
Lewis says looking at her "Well come on in" he says as Emma walks into the apartment "Sorry for the mess" he says as he clears off the couch as Emma sits down "I've been working on a project that basically counts for most of my grade and"
"It's fine Lewis" Emma says smiling at him as she looks up at where he is now in the kitchen, knowing him since they were five being able to tell he's stressed "How about I make some breakfast and you just try to relax some" Emma says as she gets up and walks over towards the kitchen
"Yea I should probably go get cleaned up" Lewis says realizing that he is still in his night clothes "Thanks Em" he says as he starts to give her a hug as she gives him a look "Yea I'll take a shower too"
"This is great" Lewis says later as him and Emma are sitting at his kitchen table eating some food "Your definatly a better cook then I am"
"Well while I was traveling with my family, we learned foods from all over the world and I picked up on a few things" Emma says smiling up from her plate "So do you know any girls around that are looking for a roommate, because I have two bedrooms at my apartment, but I'm not sure that I can cover the rent on my own"
Lewis looks up as he takes another bite of his food "Actually I think I have the perfect roommate" he says as Emma gives him a suspicious look
A little while later Lewis is laying asleep on his bed, Cleo cracks his apartment door open and looks in his room, when Lewis had never showed up to the airport, they had got a taxi from the airport to Lewis place, she smiles as she sees him on the bed as she goes over and sits down beside him leaning in as she gives him a kiss on the cheek "Hey sleepy head" she says as she sees Lewis starting to wake up
"Huh" Lewis says as he rolls over and opens his eyes, once he sees Cleo he franticly grabs his phone off the window seal beside his bed "I was supposed to pick y'all up over an hour ago"
"Well hey to you too" Cleo says looking at him jokingly "And don't worry about it, we took a taxi here"
"I'm sorry, i pulled an all nighter last night and I must have gone to sleep not realizing it" Lewis says looking at Cleo from where he is still laying down
"Well it's okay, Bella and Rikki went to get a pizza for lunch if your hungry" Cleo says as Lewis sits up on the bed pulling her in closer to him
"I'm starting to get a little hungry, I had a pretty good breakfast this morning though" Lewis says as he looks at her
"What, of your normal juice and pop tarts" Cleo says smiling at him
"No actually" Lewis thinks for a second, he had been planning on waiting for Rikki to get back to suprise both of them with Emma, but decided to go ahead and suprise Cleo "Come with me" Lewis says pulling her off the bed as he gets up
"Where are you taking me?" Cleo says as Lewis pulls her up the stairs and to the door of the apartment above his
"You'll see in a minute" Lewis says with a smile on his face as he knocks on the door
"Yes" Emma says as she opens the apartment door
"Emma?" Cleo says with a stunned face from behind Lewis, as she walks around Lewis to embrace Emma in a hug "Emma!" she says excited
"Yea of course I'll be your roommate" Cleo says as her, Lewis and Emma sit in Lewis apartment still waiting on Rikki and Bella to get back with lunch
"Great" Emma says as she smiles at her
"Yea great" Lewis says as he sits down putting his arm around Cleo
"Why do I get the feeling your just happy because i'll be living just upstairs?" Cleo says giving Lewis a suspicious look
"Oh you will, I almost forgot about that part" Lewis says smiling as he puts his arm around her shoulder
"We're back and we have lunch" Rikki announces as they walk though the door where Lewis has left it open
"I still can't believe this" Rikki says as their eating lunch as she looks up at Emma "I feel like I should be moving here now"
"And miss taking your year off from school" Cleo says looking at her
"Good point, I'll just come visit" Rikki says smiling at them
"Well you are welcome to come visit us anytime" Emma says smiling at her "And you too" she says looking at Bella "So where are y'all staying while your here this time" she says looking at them
"Well we were just going to stay with Lewis" Rikki says looking at her
"You can stay with me if you want instead, that will give us time to catch up, and it will give you some time to get used to the apartment" She says looking at Cleo
"That's fine with me if it's fine with y'all" Cleo says looking at Rikki and Bella
"Okay well then it's a plan" Bella says looking at them as she gives her and Rikki agree on it
"Yea I'll be fine with whatever if it means I can shower without having a fake tentical trying to attack me" Lewis says refering to when Cleo and Bella had visited once before and figured out that they could make a realistic water tentical after Lewis had took to long in the shower "or getting froze out of it" he says giving Emma a look
"Okay I said I was sorry" Emma says from that morning when she had leaned her hand against the bathroom door to ask Lewis what he had to cook with and without meaning to had turned the water into hail
