With their new lives set to begin so soon, nothing could get in their way now. … The sky as black as ink and the rain pouring in torrents, nineteen-year-old Nala, hunched over in the middle of the boat trying…

already taken. An old friend of mine introduced me a girl named Danielle the previous school year and she happened to be looking for a roommate as well. We texted and a few weeks later I was approved to move into the apartment with her. I did not really know her, but from the few times we have hung out she seemed like a really nice person.
