1. Chapter 1

Tris POV

"20 year old female looking for a roommate. I live in Chicago, I have an apartment but I need someone to help with rent, so make sure you can help with that. Preferably a female, but a male would be fine. Has to be neat, I don't need a messy roommate, willing to help with chores such as doing the dishes and laundry. Please don't be younger than 20 or older than 25. My email address is , email me if interested and we can meet up at a Starbucks or something."

"What do you think Christina? Think i'll be able to find a roommate with this?" That was my eBay ad for a roommate, my friend Christina already is living with her boyfriend so she can't room with me so i'm trying to find someone else.

"I think it's fine. Better put it up soon, you don't want to be evicted." She's right, money is really tight right now. With that, the ad is put up, so all I can do now is wait and see who I get. Hopefully not a creep.

Tobias POV

"Get out! We're through!" My now ex-girlfriend shouts, pushing me out of my apartment.

"Nita, please don't do this. Where am I gonna go?" With that, she shuts the door leaving me with a suitcase, my laptop and my wallet. I have no choice but to leave

and find a new place to stay. Zeke is with Shauna, I can't stay with him...Uriah is with Marlene, I can't stay with him….Lost in thought, I walk into someone sending us

both to the floor.

"Sorry. I wasn't looking, are you ok?" I say, looking up at a pair of blue eyes and blonde hair.

"Yeah, i'm fine. Thanks, are you ok?" She's looking at my laptop which is on the ground as well, hopefully not shattered.

"I'm fine, thanks. Have a nice day." We exchange nods before going our separate ways. She was pretty, i'm not gonna lie, but I have bigger things to think about. I walk into a Starbucks getting my usual black coffee before sitting down, scowering the internet for possible places to stay. Craigslist is a bust since most people there are looking for people to hook up with, so next I search eBay. As usual, it's mostly people trying to get a date, but one catches my eye. A girl in her 20's looking for a roommate in Chicago who's tidy and will help out with chores, who also has money to help with rent. I'm pretty much all those things: i'm 21, I live in Chicago, i've grown up doing chores and I have enough money to be comfortable. Though I am a boy, she says that's acceptable so I email her, hoping she responds soon or else i'm going to be sleeping on the streets tonight.

I hope you liked this chapter! It is currently a collab with a fellow writer named Odyssey so make sure you go check out their stories as well. I'm not sure where she is right now, she hasn't written back in a few days, but we did work on this story together because I was running out of ideas. As you can see, the name is still in progress so please leave some suggestions in the reviews, I was going to do The Roommates, but I know a story called that, so maybe choose something else. The title we like will get a shout out in the next chapter! AH I am just really excited about this story, tell us if you are as well! Ok, bye!
