Several months ago, I moved into a new apartment building. It’s brand new and much nicer than my previous one, so I was pretty excited about it. However, during the first couple months of being there, I noticed I didn’t really fit in. Most of the people living inside this building were snobbish and cold. One of them even made fun of me for still wearing a mask inside the elevator. Another one assumed I worked at the building.
But hey, I really enjoyed the inside of my apartment and the location was great, so fuck them. I’ve never been one to really become friends with neighbors anyway. I mostly keep to myself.
Then one day, around a month ago, the elevator doors opened and in stepped a new girl who was just moving in. She was dressed in a long coat, even though it was like 85 outside. Her hair was on the short side, stopping just above her shoulders. She was wearing a mask, so I couldn’t see much of her face, but she did have the cutest fucking mole on the lower end of her cheek/chin.
“Hey” she said quietly.
“Hey, what floor?”
