Chapter Twenty

CAROL HAD NOT BEEN exaggerating when she had said it was a little crowded. It was an older cottage-style house half a mile off-campus. It was only a two-bedroom house, but there were already four girls living there.

Carol and Barbie introduced Cassandra to Dara, another brunette girl who wore heavy dark-rimmed glasses and pulled her hair back into a short bun. Where Carol and Barbie seemed like they might be mostly interested in having a good time, Dara was obviously focused on more serious topics. The fourth roommate, Millie wasn’t home.

“How do you fit so many in here?”

“The first question should probably be why we fit so many in here. This house belongs to my uncle, so he gives me a break on the rent, but it’s still pretty expensive. The more people we bring in, the cheaper everything is. We split everything four ways now—the rent, the water bill, the light bill.”

“Everything but the hairspray bill,” Barbie added. “Everybody’s responsible for their own Aqua Net.”

Even though the house was small and there were already four women living there, it was relatively neat and clean. There was a normal kitchen and although the bathroom wasn’t big, there were shelves and cupboards for each person to store their own essentials.

Cassandra poked her head inside each bedroom and saw two twin beds in each.

“Four people, four beds. Where would you put a fifth person?”

Carol nodded at the couch in the living room. “You could have that until someone moves out, then you’ll get first dibs on a bed.”

“How much is the rent?”

“Your share will be twenty-five dollars per month. Your share of the other bills will be around twenty dollars a month. We don’t use all that much water, because the hot water heater is so small and after the first shower each morning, everyone else gets pretty cold water.”

Forty-five dollars a month is a lot less than I thought I’d be paying. That will help stretch my money a little further. Still. She glanced at the high-backed couch against the living room wall. What if I want to go to bed early and everyone else is still up. What do I do then?

Cassandra glanced out at her Mustang and thought about having to climb back into it and continue her search. That felt worse than the idea of having to sleep every night on the couch.

“When can I move in?”

Carol laughed and hugged Cassandra. “I think you’re already home!”

“Okay! I don’t have much stuff, but I do have a couple of suitcases back at the hotel.”

“You run and get your stuff. Barbie and I will work on clearing out a little closet space for you and we’ll set up a couple of drawers for you to keep your unmentionables.” Carol narrowed her eyes and nodded. “I’ve got a good feeling about you, Cassandra.”

“Good. Me too. Except, you’ve got to call me Cassie.”

Cassandra ran back to the old hotel she had been staying in, grabbed her suitcases, and flew back to her new home.
