The year was 1998. Lennon Ryan was in her freshman year at Ohio University. She was eighteen. For the past three months she'd been sharing an apartment with Randy Orton, he was also eighteen. She'd picked him as a roommate because she knew he be the last person in a million years she'd be attracted to. She didn't think he was a bad guy but she knew he was a womanizer. He practically had a different woman in his room every night. One thing that did get on her nerves at night was the sexual carrying on of his female companions. It made it very difficult to sleep at night. Lennon doubted Randy knew the meaning of the word monogamy. She liked the nights when he was gone doing his wrestling matches for Ohio Valley Wrestling. That's when she got her much needed peace and quiet. She was studying law at Ohio University. She wanted to be a lawyer. For the last year she'd been dating her boyfriend Montgomery. He'd been accepted to Ohio University to. He lived on campus. His family had a lot of money. He was studying law also.
At six o' clock in the morning Lennon's alarm clocked started to go off. She shut it off and got in the shower. After her shower she was looking at herself in the mirror. She was white. She had blonde hair down to the middle of back and light brown eyes. She also had long legs and six-pack abs. She was getting some breakfast yogurt and a banana, when she heard Randy's door open. A girl who she'd never seen before stepped out of his room with him. She rolled her eyes and thought. "Another notch on the bedpost." She tried not to listen to their conversation as he walked her to the door but she heard bits and pieces like he'd call her. A call that Lennon knew would never be coming. After Randy had sent the girl on her way he came into the kitchen.
"Morning Lennon." He said.
"Morning Randy."
"The rent's due tomorrow."
"You'll have it on time." "How are you this morning?"
"Fine." "Yourself?"
"Good." "Did we keep you awake last night?"
"A little."
"I'm sorry."
"It's ok." "I have to go." She stood up.
"Have a good day."
"You to."
Later that day Lennon was meeting Montgomery for lunch. He'd just arrived. His full name was Montgomery Winston Hollingsworth III. He was tall with short light brown hair and light blue eyes. He was the uptight snobby type. Even Lennon thought it was a bit much at times but she loved him anyway.
"Hi baby." She said.
"Hi muffin." They kissed. "How is your day going?" "Good."
"Yours?"
"Good."
"Do you want to go to a movie tonight?"
"I can't." "I have to study."
"Me to, I just thought we could spent some time together first."
"I'll make it up to you." "I promise." She yawned. "Has that imbecile of a roommate been keeping you up with his hoard of bimbos again?"
"A little bit."
"Why do you put up with it?"
"I have no choice, I can't afford the rent by myself." "If I would've picked one of the other people I interviewed, I would've killed them by now." She said.
"Only a few more years and we'll have our own place."
Later that night Lennon was in bed trying to sleep. She could hear Randy and the flavor of the night in his room. She got her CD player and put on her headphones.
A few hours later Lennon was asleep. Randy tapped the rent money to her door.
