With the soft breeze that lightly brushed against my cheek and the gentle hum of the birds as they announced their salutations accompanying my journey, wandering through the small park towards my destination of the apartment complex was indeed, an enjoyable task. The apartment complex was a block from the park according to my phone so I decided to take a small break on a nearby bench. Setting my luggage to a rest beside me on the seat, I take a moment to look at the scenery surrounding me. The park was fairly large and had a wide green field on one end. The other end had a small playground that had a dark blue, white, and violet color scheme. There were a couple children playing around with their parents on benches that were a short distance away. The field had a man throwing a frisbee for his dog and a group of girls sitting in the shade under a tree. It was a very peaceful and quiet atmosphere as the sun had another hour before bidding it's farewell and allowing the moon to take the night shift.

I pull out my phone and call my mother to remind her that I was close to the apartment. I already called her when I got off the plane but she wanted me to call again letting her know that I arrived at my apartment, then call once again later to tell her I have eaten dinner. Pressing the call button on her contact, I raise the phone to my ear and stare at the lively green leaves of the trees around me. Summer is almost over and soon fall will prepare the plants and animals for the cold of winter.

The call connected and I hear my mother's frantic voice already bombarding me with questions.

< She Who Has Given Me Life 00:00 >

 >Hello, Hello! Have you made it to the apartment yet? Are you already lost? Were you mugged? Have you been sexually harassed? Have you already spent all your money? Are you okay? Do I need to come over yet? 

-She throws question after question and I chuckle at her behavior.-

Mother. Mom! Hey, everything is fine! I am near the apartment but took a break at a nearby park. The weather is really nice and the atmosphere is so serene! Nothing bad has happened and no, I do not need you to come over. I'm checking up with you to tell you that everything is fine.<

-She exhaled into the phone-

>Alright missy. I trust you to behave yourself. Thank you for checking in. I am cooking dinner right now so I will have to end the call soon. Your father will be home soon to wish you luck as well, so call when you eat dinner! And you will eat dinner. Remember stranger danger, treat others the way you want to be treated... unless they are being shitty, then you can be rude. Hmm, eat all your meals, don't waste money, don't talk t-

Blah, blah, blah. I know mom! We went over this for like a week before I left. I should head to my apartment soon to check the furniture! <

-I cut her off and she grumbles into the phone.-

>Don't talk to boys, don't kiss anyone randomly, and remember your self-defense sweetie. What is the number for 911?!

-I roll my eyes at her question, but she can't see that.- 

It's 911 mom. Yes we are good. Okay I will indeed survive- is that something burning I smell? Oh no! The connection is cutting!<

-I begin to make static noises into the phone.-

 Bye mom!<

 -I make more static noises.-

>Okay okay fine. Bye sweetie! Focus on getting settled in and your studies. Remember my rules! Love you! 

-She made a kiss sound affect with *muah*. I smiled fondly, already missing her.-

Bye mom. Love you too!<

I hang up and stand with my luggage. I roll my shoulders and walk the path towards my new apartment. Arriving right on time as the movers, I tell them I will unlock the apartment real fast while they start setting the furniture out of the huge truck. I rushed up the three flights of stairs, thinking the elevator would be too slow, and reach my room without sparing a glance to the others as I pass by.

I arrive in front of room 308 and take a breath, before unlocking my apartment for the first time. The door opens smoothly and I see an empty living room and kitchen to my left. I quickly walked to the bedroom door at the right of the living room and open it to reveal a decently sized empty room. I place my luggage on the floor in the corner of the room and head back out to direct the movers.

❀♡❀

The sun has set once the movers finally finished setting the last of the furnishing. I thank them profusely as they nod and head their way out. The furniture was set and now I had to unpack all of the boxes in the living room. Letting out a sigh and brushing a hand through my hair, I turn to close the front door. 

Before the door shuts I catch a glimpse of seven males heading up the stairs into the hallway of the third floor. My eyes widen at their charming looks and flawless faces. I couldn't glance longer because they would catch me watching them from my door. They were heading in my direction so I quickly shut my door and exhale against it. I hear chuckling from the males and after a few moments several doors silently thudded closed.

They're my neighbors?!
