Kimberly.
I was getting back around 3 o'clock from my shift at work. I hated working early in the morning because it made me grumpy and I had to walk back home because during the afternoon the damn cabs seem like they don't notice me. As I came closer to the apartment building I noticed a moving van out front. New neighbors, I thought my eyebrow quirked. Well this should be fun. I walked up the stairs and let myself into the building, taking my time up the stairs. Luckily I ran a lot so I didn't have a problem with the stairs.

Keegan.
"Just set the boxes anywhere,"I told the movers as they came into the apartment. It was pretty nice actually and I was glad I was moving in with my best friend. I watched as a mover stumbled in with a box,"Man, be careful. With the boxes you don't know what's in them,"I said panicking slightly. I hadn't really marked my boxes well I land I didn't know what was in what box.

Anna E.
I didn't have a shoot today. Bambi was used to me being home a lot, with jobs being so sporadic with their schedules. She clambered over a few stray pieces of paper--mail, bills, no doubt--that had fluttered to the floor in my earlier misguided attempt at cleaning up. The apartment was, overall, in good form, though (cleaning wouldn't be necessary again for two more days or so, and procrastination was my top priority, first and foremost), so I settled back into the sofa and called Bambi onto the couch with me. She pounced on one of the cushions, not quite landing in the upright position; clawing her way to a stable place on the sofa beside me, the kitten curled up between my hipbones and kneaded my overlarge sweater between her paws. I smiled and petted the downy fur between her pointed ears with my left hand, my right channel surfing. If there was a commotion across the hall, I ignored it.

Leo
"Dude. Chill," I said as an irate mover walked past me to make another trip to the van outside. "Let's just start going through some of this stuff, all right? It'll keep your mind off of the fact that there are roughly five large, clumsy, muscle-brawns carrying all of our Earthly possessions up three flights of cement stairs." I turned my back so I couldn't see the glare that Keegan was going to probably (definitely) shoot my way and opened a box that I was pretty sure had some books in it. (Nope. The plates Keeg's ma sent him two weeks ago. Oops.)

[lauren.]

I SEE THAT!

Kimberly.
It took longer than normal to get up the flight of stairs due to the freakishly huge movers. I frowned every time I had to press against the wall when one came down the stairs. People have no respect for others, especially men to women. I huffed as I finally made it to the floor an noticed the movers were coming out of the room across. "Great,"I muttered as I fluffed y hair with my nails and little. I peaked inside the room seeing two guys,"Would you mind telling your gruffly huge movers to pay more attention to people on the staircase. I almost got pushed down a couple of times,"I said pursing my lips. I had never seen the inside of this apartment room before & it was quite nice almost the same replica as Anne & my apartment.

Keegan.
I scoffed,"They're not listening to anyone. Just doing their job by roughly moving all our shit into the room,"I said shaking my head as I glanced over at where the girl stood in the doorway. "Sorry for the language,"I mumbled as I started opening some boxes. "Don't worry about it,"she said. I smirked as I opened one box that had all of Leo's undergarments in it. I chuckled,"Seriously Leo? A whole box of your boxers?"I said smirking.

[grey scale:]

Leo
I glared at Keeg and took the box roughly from him. "Give me those." (If the box ripped a little bit, and if I tripped--well, if that happened, I certainly don't recall it.) "Stop being such a dick just because you forgot your stupid letterhead collection," I also said, unwisely and out of embarrassment. I took the box of my boxers (isn't that a mouthful? No pun intended) and shoved it into the room I had already claimed as mine, giving my blood time to fall south and leave my face a normal human color. I took a deep breath--one, two, one, two--and went back out to the living room. "Sorry about the movers, though," I said to the girl in the doorway, smiling uncertainly. Everything about her just screamed...something, although I couldn't put my finger on it.

Anna E.
I glanced at the time on my phone--five-ten--and huffed out a deep breath. I'd thought Kimmy wanted to go out tonight (hence, why I'd spent all day holed up in the house; I can only take so much of the city at a time), and normally she was home from work by now. I slid my finger across the screen of my phone and went to my messages, looking through mine and Kim's and wondering if she'd said something about being late. She hadn't, so I texted: Where are you? Are we still going? I had clothes laid out, and my makeup was already done, but I didn't want to go through any more trouble if it was going to be for nothing.

[lauren.]

Kimberly.
I shrugged,"They seem like they hardly have a brain. So it's not your problem. You didn't get to pick them,"I said as I got a look from one mover who was already putting some boxes down on the apartment floor. I have him a sweet smile as I unlocked my phone seeing that Anna had texted me: Open the door. Be social. was all I texted back. "So is this your first time in New York? The Big Apple?"I asked crossing my arms, moving out of the way when movers pushed passed me. Obviously they were told why I said about them.

Keegan.
It was so much fun embarrassing Leo, plus he couldn't really embarrass me. I glanced over at the girl, noticing how freakishly bright her hair was. "I've lived in New York my whole life. Just never New York, New York,"I said shrugging. "So far it's...loud and crowded,"I said making a face. Hell, I could deal with a lot of people in one place since I went to a lot of parties in my college career. But here? I don't know what the problem is. Maybe it'll grow on me.

Leo
"I lived here when I was a kid," I said haltingly, scratching the back of my head with the same awkwardness my small frame had been fostering since early middle school. Picking up a few smaller boxes, all of which I was pretty sure contained towels, I accidentally bumped the back of Keeg's head and slid the towels to one of the kitchen counters. When I came back to the living room, there was another girl behind the red-haired one and oh christ almighty, there were two of them?

Anna E.
I sighed heavily at Kim's text, then frowned--wait. The apartment across the hall had always been vacant, at least for the year and a half we'd been in the place. Now that I stopped and listened, I could hear more than a commotion next door: there was shuffling, there were footsteps, there were voices--one of which I quickly identified as my quantifiably insane roommate's. "Oh, Kimberly, they could be axe murderers, for fuck's sake," I grumbled as I pulled on a pair of dark shorts and brushed through my hair. I wasn't going to put on what I had planned for later because that was duly inappropriate, but I had to look decent to some degree. I huffed and squared my shoulders, opened our front door, relaxed my body again, and crossed the hall to stand behind my ridiculous best friend. "Is there a party? Why wasn't I invited?"

[lauren.]

Kimberly.
"Anna! What a pleasure to see you come out of the apartment,"I said smirking as I winked at her. "So looks like we have neighbors now,"I said as I stepped somewhat to the side. I yawned as I leaned against the doorway,"And watch out for the movers. They're...rough,"I said glaring at one who was going down the hallway.

Keegan.
I rubbed the back of my head as I glared over at Leo. My head snapped back to the door as another voice came into the conversation. Are we like on a sorority floor or something? Geez, are there any guys that live around here. I looked over at the blonde, assessing her.

[grey scale:]

Anna E.
"I had...homework," I said, leering at one of the movers--taller, more sinewy than most men who relied on physical labor for their financial well being, guaranteed to be one of the most attractive men in their company--before looking back at the two guys in the apartment. "You'd think you'd give me a break, since I've dealt with all the hellhounds running the Vogue shoots this week, wouldn't you?" I nudged Kim's shoulder so she knew I was joking, even though she probably already did. The guys continued to gawk.

Leo
"Wait, so--you're a model?" I asked, disbelievingly. Not disbelievingly because she couldn't be a model (because now that I looked at the girls, they really were quite stunning, in entirely different ways; one was appealing in a strange way--almost magnetic in the way she repelled and attracted at the same time--while the other was slim and cute, definitely more Keeg's type than my own) but disbelievingly because we lived next to a model and her super attractive roommate what was my life turning into holymotherfuckingshit. "Don't sound so shocked," the blonde, Anna, said with a laugh. I shook my head in apology and ducked my head because why was I so awkward seriously.

[lauren.]

Kimberly.
I smiled as I tossed my hair over my shoulder,"Right. Always busy and never home,"I said rolling my eyes. It was a pun towards Anna but this was kind of fun seeing the guys gawking at Anna. "You all look like you've never been in a presence of a model,"I tisked. "You all might want to close your mouth and wipe the drool from your mouth,"I said winking at them.

Keegan.
I stared at the blonde who was in the doorway, my eyes wide. A model? What the hell? I quickly stood up more, clearing my throat. "Well no we, or at least I, haven't. It's a pleasure to be in the sight of gorgeous ladies,"I said smirking as I winked. "I'm Keegan and this is Leo,"I said as I tossed a light box into Leo's gut to wake him the hell up.

[grey scale:]

Anna E.
"Kim," I said, poking Kim's side, "and Anna E. If you guys ever need anything, you should let us know." A mover came up behind us and I shifted Kimberly and myself out of the doorway. The tall, bulky man stared hard down at his clipboard and scratched his nose with the end of his pen. "That's all we got in the truck," he said, handing the clipboard out and looking between Leo and Keegan. (He might have awkwardly looked at Kimberly and me, too, but he was awkward only because he was thinking about asking me out later. And he knew he would get nowhere. Smart man.)

Leo
"Thank you, sir," I said, tossing to the couch the light box Keeg had thrust into my stomach in order to take the clipboard from the man. He gave the the clipboard, and I swept my signature across the bottom line. Keegan and his parents had paid for a lot of our new household-appliance stuff; the least I could do was pay for the moving guys (despite the fact that Mrs. Grand had gotten a little carried away). The man with the clipboard nodded at the four of us and left, adjusting his hat on his bald head, and Anna turned to Kim. "Are you ready to go out, or...?"

[lauren.]

Kimberly.
I pursed my lips,"Right,"I said forgetting about it,"Yeah, I just need to go and touch up a little,"I said. I turned back to the guys,"As Anna said, if you need anything we're just across the hallway. Have fun moving in,"I said giving them a wave and a wink before stepping back and opening our door. I glanced around my eyes finding Bambi,"Ahhhhh my wittle baby,"I cooed as I picked him up, kissing his head.

Keegan.
I raised an eyebrow as I glanced over at Leo, wondering if he was thinking the same thing I was thinking about. "We'll we could always use the help to unpack but I don't want to put that on you all. Have a fantastic evening,"I said flashing Anna a smile. Maybe sometime Leo and I should go out on the town with these two gorgeous women. Hell, heads would definitely turn.

[grey scale:]

Anna E.
I smiled, flipping the lid on one of the boxes nearby. "You know, I'm sure you guys could...unearth a couple of nice outfits and join us, if you wanted?" I asked, the corners of my mouth lifting up in a smile. I mean, what could I say? The guys were new, and Kim and I were going out. Having them there would probably keep annoying dicks from hitting on us all night. Well... I glanced at Leo. Having Keegan there might keep annoying dicks from hitting on us all night. Leo just looked so sweet.

Leo
I looked at Keegan, and then at the mess of our apartment. Ummmmm. Um. Umumumumumum. Ummmmmmm.

[lauren.]

Keegan.
I raised an eyebrow and glanced over at Leo who looked like he was going to have a hernia. I rolled my eyes then grinned at Anna,"I wouldn't mind coming along. There's always time to unpack,"I said shrugging. I pursed my lips as I looked at the boxes wondering which one had my clothing in it.

Kimberly.
I grinned as he nudged his head against me as I walked to my room. I kissed his head once again and set him on my bed. "Now what should I wear tonight Bambi?"I asked as I opened my closet, pulling out some tight black jeans, silver sparkling tank top with my black leather jacket over it, and some silver heels. I looked at Bambi with my eyebrow raised all I or was a meow thought. I nodded,"Thought so." I grabbed my make-up bag and began redoing my make-up and then curled my hair since it had deflated a little while at work.
