Beep-beep-beep-beep
Will this alarm ever turn off. Beep-beep-beep-beep. I guess not. Beep-beep-beep-beep.
"Turn that freaking alarm off."
Like I would do anything for her.
"Turn it off or you're out."
She needs me.
"You know what? Your out!"
I open my eyes and jolt up to see Nita unplugging my alarm and putting it inside the cardboard box that held it.
"Ha, you see you were awake! I want you up and out of here."
"What did I do?"
"What did you do? Huh lemme see." She taps her finger onto her face. "Well you're always asking for money, you never clean up, you basically sleep all day, you never pay the full amount for rent, you don't even have a job anymore, you-"
"But you need-"
"There's a whole bunch of people in Chicago that would be glad to be my roommate. Now start your packing."
"But where am I gonna live?"
"Live in the streets. I don't really care." She grabs her phone that was sitting on the kitchen island. "Look I gotta go for a run. I want you gone by 7." She looks at her phone again. "It's 10."
"I'm not gonna do this by myself."
"Call a friend or something." She picks up her jeans that were on the floor and heads to the bathroom."Leave your keys on kitchen counter." She yells.
Wow. Just wow. I go get my phone to call a friend. Al. I know that he likes me and it's pretty obvious. The feelings aren't mutual though. We've been friends for 2 years now, and it's a dear relationship I don't want to ruin.
Hey Al. I really didn't want to leave this in voicemail. But can you please call me as soon as possible. Maybe bring Will with you. I'm moving so ya. Anyway please call me when you hear this.
Okay I'm satisfied. Now I just have to get started. I walk over to the mattress I call my bed, and start picking up the comforter. How did I get myself in this mess? Oh yeah, drooping out of Abnegation High School. My father had expectations. He wanted me to be like him, to help out others. Like be a leader in a service to help the needy. Now I am the needy. Ironic . Anyways, he enrolled me in into Abnegation High School. I always wanted to go to Dauntless High. It was'nt too far from home, and the education was the same as Abnegation. Abnegation just focuses more on community services. I dropped out after 3 years of school. My father ended up being really mad at me. He kept on saying that I was nothing like my brother, Caleb, who is now in Erudite College. Caleb visits sometimes, just to check on me. It gets annoying though since he just continues on like my father saying that I need to fix my life and everything. It would'nt be fair to argue though. My life is bad.
Knock knock.
I drop the box I had containing my bed sheets and my comforter, and walk over to the door.
"Who is it"
"New neighbor" Not my neighbor.
"Name?"
"Christina."
