"Metal Rod Threats"

"Look, I don't care how.. But I want that goddamn luggage in front of my apartment door by 8 pm or your airline is fucked.." I hiss into the phone and hang up on the dumb manager.
"Great! First morning here and I'm already unlucky.." I sigh "wait.. Why am I talking to myself?" I shake my head, I seriously need help. And a few friends.
Lucky for me, a close friend of mine said she would be accompanying me in my apartment till next semester, which is great yet.. Sad because I'm going to be alone after that. Wouldn't hurt to find yourself a roommate anna..
I drop my rucksack by the couch and look around my partially furnished apartment.
Just a couch, two bedrooms with great looking beds and a kitchen.."i need to go buy a few stuff.." I say to myself out loud, then proceed to smack myself mentally "gee Anna, why don't you just make up an imaginary friend since your lonely single ass is so fucking antisocial. And a freaking guy repellent.." I mumble as I slip my black chuck Taylors back on and walk out the front door.
I exit my apartment and make my way down a few short flights of stairs then exit into the parking lot. Thank the heavens my father sent me this car and it arrived right in time!
I swear if it wasn't for my dad, I'd be walking the streets without knowing where the hell I'm going. Now although I like a good adventure, now isn't the appropriate time to be venturing around London at 9 am on a Sunday.
I get into my car and proceed to pull out of my parking spot and onto the road. I press the audio button on my navigator "find me the closest IKEA". It quickly displays a short rout to an IKEA about 15 minutes away from where I'm currently at.
I follow the directions and for once.. I actually land up in the right place. "Thank the heavens" I pull into a parking spot and get out, making my way in I grab a trolley by the entrance and spend about 10 minutes around the pillows and lamps isle, when I've picked out neutral pillow colours with matching sheets for both the bedrooms I walk over to the lamps and settle on a cute spiral 4 foot one that's touch operated.
The next few hours go by shopping for a few fake plants, a few side tables and a few tins of paint. After my kind of expensive purchase, I grab the many paper bags and walk out towards my car. I safely place the bags in the boot of the car and take all the glass objects and place them on the front seat after shutting the boot.
Its around 1:30 when I pull up at a signal. I pull out my phone and respond to a few texts.
hen I get home, I drag all the bags and boxes into the livingroon and sit on the floor amongst them. I start unpacking my cutlery and placing them in shelves, then move on the decorating the bedroom.
By the time I've done my room, its around 6. I groan and fall on the bed and stare up at the ceiling.. I'm so tired..
I slowly find myself falling asleep, not fighting it I soon slip into deep sleep.
I'm woken up by the bell being rung repeatedly, I jump up and walk to the door, rubbing my eyes in the process I stub my toe on the edge of the coffee table "mother Fudger.." I mumble and swing the door open.
In front of me stands a man slightly shorter than me with a nervous smile on his face "ma'am.. Your bags" I then notice the many boxes of clothes and two luggages beside him. "Oh.. Thank you.." I grab the things and pull them in, then tip the guy for not being a complete asshole, Then kindly smile and shut the door.
"Great.." I look at the 3 big boxes containing my clothes, books and who knows what, And then the luggages containing more clothes. Welcome to being an adult.. Said no one.
I grab my phone off the table my the empty TV stand and look at the amount of missed calls I have. Genevieve? This girl has no patients..
I call her back and wait for her to answer, 2 rings in and she screams a very long hey into my ear. "Hey..? Why so hyper? Oh god... What have you done?" I switch her to speaker and walk into the kitchen, She laughs nervously "you see Anna.. I uh..kind of fell down a flight of stairs when I was at this club after I dropped you ofc at your place last night.. And I broke a few bones. So I won't be able to fly tomorrow and I don't think I'll be joining you until next semester.." I groan rather loudly, making is sound like a bear was in the room "But gen you promised!" I whine like a 5 year old.
"I know I know hun, but I'm sorry! I promise I'll be there in 3 months.. You'll see me, Skype me if you miss me! Or face time. Now my doctor says I need rest, I really need to go. Bye love!" And with that she hangs up.
I sigh and place the phone on the kitchen counter.
I glance at the clock and realise its almost 9, I need to cook myself something.. Or I could order take out since my genius ass forgot to buy groceries?
I look for a few restaurants in the area and order myself enough food to last for lunch tomorrow. After dinner I change into a comfy pair of shorts and a loose tank then slip into bed.
Just as I'm about to fall asleep I get a text, I turn to my phone and check who its from only to see Genevieve's name on the screen with a long text following it.
Gen
Hey love! I forgot to mention earlier, but I have someone who would like to stay with you for as long as you can tolerate them :) don't worry, you know the person.. I gave him your number, talk to him! Gn♥
What..? Who the fuck..? So I respond..
'I swear if you're going to make me live with some ex convect or a rapist im going to rape you with a metal rod..'
Gen
Geez.. Brutal much?
I laugh at her text and send her a sleeping emoji. Well.. This is going to be exciting..
