Chapter 1

Penny stood outside of her new apartment. Her best friend was unpacking inside.

"You done settin' your stuff up?" She said to her friend inside.

"Just about!" Carla said loudly.

"Ok, I'm comin' in."

The first thing Penny saw, were boxes, all over the floor. Her jaw dropped.

"Carla! What's with all these boxes!?" She yelled. "I thought I told you to only bring a few!"

"Yea well you didn't exactly say HOW MUCH a FEW was." Carla sighed.

Penny thought about how Carla put so emphasis on the words "how", and "much". She had a strange, confused look on her face.

"What? Carla asked when she saw the look on Penny's face.

"Huh?, oh nothing, just thinking..." She said as she started to daze off again.

"Seems to me, that you're always thinkin'."

"You know," Penny started. "Manhattan really isn't all that different from San Fransisco."

"Not all that different?! Well if you ask me, I think Manhattan's bigger, and more polluting. Besides, instead of trollys, there are buses, and trains.I don't see how they're not that different." Carla stated.

"Well they're both big cities, and the streets are kinda packed together."

"Hmm, good point." Said Carla. "C'mon, we need to work on our application forms for the university."

The two had been friends since 7th grade, and just a few months ago, they graduated from college in San Fransisco. They moved to Manhattan, for the university. Penny decided that she was going to take poetry classes. While Carla, was going to take liturature. They also hoped on meeting new friends, and some guys.

"So Penny, are you gonna look for a job in the city?"

"Um I don't know, I guess I'll have to keep up with the rent somehow."

"Don't be surprised if any "guy friends" come over! They're ALWAYS hitting on me!" Carla squealed with excitement.

"Ugh! You? Yeah, well last time I checked, you were my servant, while I was the prom queen. So there!"

Carla just rolled her eyes. Sometimes Penny was just being stuck up for fun. The two always did that, but never over being attractive. She looked over at Penny's laptop, and ran over, seeing that she had mail.

"Hey Penny! Looks like you've got mail from back home!"


Will write Chapter 2 later. YES, it is very short
