Driving through new streets always had Aaron a little edgy. It would take him a while before he would actually get used to the layout of the area. So far the only places that he actually remembered by heart was the new restaurant that he would be working at and his new apartment.
Aaron and his 67' Mustang Fastback pulled in to the parking lot adjacent to the apartment complex. He opened his trunk and grabbed a few boxes. He made his way through the hallways until he got to room 8.
"Well this place seems a little quiet for an apartment" Aaron thought to himself.
He made a couple of trip between his car and his apartment before he got all the stuff he had from his trunk.
Aaron made his way to the kitchen and sighed,"This place is going to need some improvements."

Natalie yawned, stretched and wriggled under her bedsheets. Another weekday, another day of rehearsals. Although she didn't want to, she got up, took a quick shower and changed into a cobalt-blue dress with matching flats; she would change again when she joined everyone at the theatre. She found her jewelry and her watch, put them on and checked the time:
. Natalie didn't need to be in until ten on Thursdays, so she had a little extra time to fill; it was only a ten-minute drive to the theatre.
After a couple of bowls of cereal for breakfast, Natalie cleaned her dishes and walked outside into the hallway. Maybe some of the others were up.

Aaron decided that he was going to head to the roof for a smoke. Aaron never trusted elevators so he decided to take the stairs. He noticed that to get up he would have to cut through the upstairs hallway. As he made his way down he noticed a woman standing in her doorway.'
"Uh..hello," Aaron approached the woman,"I thought I was the only one here."
"Uh..hello," Aaron approached the woman,"I thought I was the only one here."
Natalie looked round. "Oh, hi. Are you one of the new residents? There's quite a few new people around. My name's Natalie," she introduced herself. She noticed the pack of cigarettes in the new guy's pocket, and mentally raised her eyebrows. Just as long as he doesn't light up inside, or show up smelling like the poisonous smoke, it should be fine, she thought, knowing that even though she hated the habit, she shouldn't be so quick to judge this new resident.
"Hey I'm Aaron, just moved in downstairs. Trying to get used to Canada. Though I was expecting a little bit more Eh's and mounties. Your the first person I've meet since I moved in, how many more people are here?" Aaron replied.
He tried to read Natalie and try and figure out what kind of person she was.

"As far as I know, there's John, Clay and Ryan, all moved in last night," Natalie answered, adjusting a dress strap to fit more comfortably. "Ryan's next door to me, and the other two are in rooms fifteen and sixteen, I think." She thought over what Aaron had mentioned about Canada.
"Canada's different from what most people expect. I, for one, don't have the stereotypical accent... as far as I know." She smiled and shrugged at that.

"Yeah growing up in Jersey you don't hear a lot about Canada. Though it's going to take some getting use to." Aaron leaned up against the wall and pulled out his Zippo lighter and started to roll in around in his fingers. At first he just rolled it in his palm. Eventually he started to roll it in between his fingers lighting it on and off.
"So what do you do?" Aaron asked still playing with his lighter.

Just in case you need visual aid to see the tricks.

Natalie watched Aaron's lighter for a few seconds, a little impressed by his dexterity. "I'm an actress, currently working in a theatre group," she answered after a while. "I'll be going down to the theatre later for rehearsals; I've got about an hour and a half before I have to be ready to practice. What about you? Do you have a job, or are you looking for one?"
"I'm a chef. I just got a job working at some fancy restaurant here so that's why I moved up here." Aaron answered totally ignoring the lighter but still keeping it in motion. "I wish I could be an actor. Being able to become a different person for just a night would be great. Though I do have some crappy videos on YouTube." Aaron smirked.
Ryan awoke to his cell phone buzzing. He looked over at the Caller I.D. It read.
He knew what this meant. "Crap Jimmy's here already? I gotta get down there. Can't keep the boy waiting."
He tossed on yesterday's clothes and grabbed a pair of work gloves out of the box. Setting the door to look after he left, he bolted out. As he left he saw Natalie standing there, talking to a man. Huh, he must be one of the new guys too. I better at least say something.
"How's she going there?" he called out quickly. "Gotta run, talk to yas later."
He kept on down the stairs and made it outside where his friend was waiting with his massive Chevy Silverado. Always seemed unnecessary to have a Silverado in Toronto, but whatever, I ain't complaining now. Jimmy even managed to get his hands on a trailer from the looks of it. Added bonus.
"What are you doing up there, man? Catching up your beauty sleep?" Jimmy called out in his usual sarcastic manner.
"Calm down, Jim, I'm out now aren't I? Hey listen thanks again for helping me get my stuff out of storage. When I get the place setup, I'll have you and some of the guys over, and we'll party it up good."
"All right, sounds good man. Let's just do this quick. I gotta be at the sandwich shop by two."
Jimmy shifted into reverse and the big truck lurched backwards out of the parking lot, taking its occupants to Metro Self-Storage, Ryan's home of two weeks after his old apartment building was declared unfit for living in. That's always exactly what you want to hear about your home.
After a few minutes they arrived. "All right man, let's get this in quick, K?"
"Sure thing, Jim." They started to work packing Ryan's life into the back of the truck.

Natalie gave Ryan a quick wave as he dashed past. "Always nice to know we've got a good cook in the building," she said to Aaron with a smile. "It's gonna be my third time live on stage on the night of the group's first performance, so it's a little daunting. I'm sure I'll be perfectly fine on the night, of course."
"Maybe I can cook for everyone one day," Aaron suggested as he looked at Ryan running down the hall.
He turned back to Natalie,"I bet you'll be fine though...," Aaron reached behind Natalie's ear and pulled out a twenty-five cent piece,"... you can never have to much luck."
Aaron handed the coin to Natalie.

Natalie blinked, slightly shocked by the sudden sleight-of-hand trick. "A little more than a chef, I see," she said, laughing a little as she took the coin. "Not bad. Not bad at all."
No time for anything longer; I've gotta go to uni.
Out of the corner of his eye Aaron noticed someone's figure coming down the hall.
"Hello," Aaron waved down the hall.
"Hello," Aaron waved down the hall.
Clay woke up late and gave a loud yawn. "God bless days off," he thought aloud. He got dressed in a blue T-shirt and gray cardigan, as well as boot cut jeans. He hadn't gotten the T.V. setup yet, so he decided to go outside meet with the other residents.
Aaron decided to continue with going upstairs to get a smoke. He quickly made his way upstairs and lit his cigarette and laid down looking at the sky still playing with his lighter.
"Is this the last of it here, Ryan?" Jimmy asked his friend.
"Yeah, looks like it," Ryan confirmed as he loaded the last chair into the trailer. "I didn't realize I had so much stuff. Good thing you got that trailer."
"Yeah, you better know it man. So we good to go, I figure if I help you we can get this unpacked in 30 minutes or so."
"Yeah looks clean Jim. Let's head back there. I want to make sure I got time to set everything up before night hits."
"All right, let's do it bro," Jimmy and Ryan both climb into the truck and Jimmy started the trip back to the apartments.

James saw the guy wave, "hello!"
As he saw him head upto the roof, he went into his room, went online, and went on his favorite game website
