Abby rolled her eyes. She heard the doorbell and left the kitchen, calling "I got it" over her shoulder. She opened the door to see a girl in a sleeveless dress standing there. And those heels looked killer. "Sorry, who are you?"

"Holly Lupo. Your new roommate." she said, extending an arm for a handshake.

Veda took out her earbuds and slipped the Shepherd's Pie in the oven, then walked out to the living room to see who had arrived.

Abby's confusion cleared. "Oh, Holly! Right!" She shook her hand. "I'm Abby, come on in."

(I gtg, see y'all tomorrow!)
Veda gave Holly a half-hearted wave. "Hey." She said simply. Before retreating to her room she turned to Abby. "I'm not feeling well, I'll be in my room if you need me."

She slipped over to the living room, watching the girl with a blank expression. "Do you prefer red or blue?" she finally asked her.

"Yeah, I know who you are. Are you okay with the violin? Oh, and I don't want to bother you but I need to get these kidneys in the fridge before they rot." she said, holding up a blue plastic container.

(Bye Nat!)

Abby nodded at Veda, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Get some rest and be back for dinner, kay?"

Holly made her way inside, dragging along bulky suitcases that a person in heels should never carry unless the wanted a broken ankle.

Abby looked at Holly. "Oh, here, let me help." She took most of the weight off of Holly's hands easily.

"Thanks. I hope you don't mind a few severed limbs or organs in the fridge, I don't have anywhere else to put them." she said sheepishly.

"Welp," she straightened. "Are you fine with me taking over the desk today, Abby?"

She glanced at Holly. "I'm fine with it, but I can't talk for the others."

In her confusion of what Holly had just said, she couldn't process Vivian's request. "What?" she asked both girls simultaneously.

(She said three people per room so probably no)
Olivia came into the kitchen and started blasting the radio. She checked on the Shepard’s pie and started dessert.

"The desk," Vivian explained. "Can I use it today? I want to finish my puzzle."

"Oliva, please turn the radio down!" Abby called.

Abby turned to Vivian, "Sure, but can you have it cleared off by 9:45?"

"That should be enough time," she complied. "Sorry for taking it over, but everyone's getting annoyed with how I take up the dining table when I do them there."

"You're fine," Abby said. The phone rang. She headed towards it.

With that, she headed off to the desk, taking out her almost-finished puzzle carefully and beginning to piece together the empty areas.

“Sorry!” Olivia yelled and turned down the volume a little

(okie imma just figure it out as I go xD)

Jazza walked down the hallway, humming the song Chemical Kids and Mechanical Brides as he went. His skateboard was tucked under his right arm, and King's leash in his free hand. The large dog followed him, staying by his side as they made the apartment.

Abby reached for the phone and half of Holly's boxes tumbled from her hands. She clenched and unclenched her fists. She read the Caller ID on the landline.

SCAM CALLER

Great! Abby wiped her exhaustion off her face and happily picked up Holly's things. "Where do you want these, Holly?"

Holly placed the kidneys in the fridge. "So where's my room?" she asked.

Jazza leaned his skateboard on the wall, quickly taking his keys out from his pocket. After unlocking the door, he took the leash off of his dog, watching as he ran into the apartment over to the water bowl. Taking his board inside, he slammed his door shut, plopping himself down on the couch.

Abby turned. "Hey, Jazza." To Holly, she said, "You can share with Vivian."

Jazza nodded to Abby, letting out an 'oof' as King jumped onto his stomach. Pulling his phone out of his back pocket, scrolling through tumblr.

"Hi um..who is she?" He asked, pointing to Holly as he kicked his feet up and across the couch.
