Miley's P.O.V
"Hi Dad, I have landed. Will call you when I settle into my apartment", I tell him on the phone.
He sighs.
"That's really great honey. I miss you", he replies back.
"I miss you too dad", I say and hang up the call.
My flight landed on time. I caught the local train and reached the apartment building in 10 minutes.
Good. Less commute = More happiness in my case. I just hate travelling. Although I love walking. But waiting for transport just spoils my mood. I'd rather walk then wait at the bus stop.
I wish dad could have taken out some more time and took me for driving lessons, so my 40 hours in the learner's log book would have been completed. And I could have a got a license to drive alone.
But oh so well, he is a busy man. I'll look for a job and pay for the classes as only 6 hours are remaining to log in. I should write this in my To-Do list as priority.
I take out my phone and type it in the checklist.
I am finally in my apartment. It is unit 7. Thankfully the first floor, as there is no elevator. So the accommodation is provided by the University itself. I have paid for it, but a little less than what a normal tenant would have paid.
Dad has paid the rent for 5 months. I love him. He insisted to do that. However, I was not in favour of it. But I can't deny that it is gonna help me big time. I'll try and get a decent job by then, and start saving for my tuition fee.
The apartment is a single bed, with a small kitchen, a study nook, a bathroom with internal laundry plus a small litlle balcony to enjoy some evening coffee.
"This is the life", I say while dropping down on the bed on my back with hands spread open.
I lie there for a minute or two in silence, enjoying the peace and quiet.
After taking a deep breath, I get up to unpack some stuff.
I still have an hour till dinner time. It's enough to sort out some stuff and then I'll go out to find something for dinner.
By the time I am done unpacking, it was almost 6:30 and time for dinner.
I grab my bag, my coat, my phone and of course the house keys (I have to remember doing this every time) and head down to walk to the nearest kfc which is 500m away.
I really doing like dining out alone, so I ordered a Stacker, fries and juice as take away. And started heading back home when a car abruptly stops in front of me nearly missing me. It was a yellow Porsche and the headlights were blinding me. I can see someone with dark coloured hair staring at me as if it was my mistake that I was walking at the entrance to the drive through.
I gave him a death stare and starting walking when I heard a car door open.
"Hey", oh my what a voice.
I did not turn but continued walking.
"Hey, I am talking to you beautiful in the brown coat", the sexy voice said.
I turned to see that he was just steps away from me.
"Hey, don't come near me. I am getting late", I turned around and started walking hurriedly.
"No no love. I just wanted to get a good look at you upfront. Are you new here?", he asked.
I did not reply back and just kept walking, when I hear him say, "Alright, I'll see you soon. Bye".
I took a deep breath when I saw my apartment building and literally ran inside, thanks to the running shoes I decided to wear somehow.
"Well that was scary for the first day at a new place", I hurriedly closed the door behind me.
