Christa finally arrived at Town Square and parked her car nearby. She smoothed her hair and grabbed her bag before heading towards the main courtyard. Once she got there, she saw a girl waving at her. Christa walked over to greet who she assumed to be Bella. "Hi there," said Bella, "it's nice to finally meet you!"

Christa stared at her for a moment, and then responded shyly, "Yeah nice to meet you too!" Bella continues to talk all about how she was so excited to finally meet someone who could be her roommate and what not, when Christa suddenly realized that she had been staring at her. She looked familiar, yet Christa just couldn't place her. Her hazel eyes contrasted with her darker hair and her light skin. Her hips curved in just the right plac- Christa stopped herself in shock. What had she been thinking just now? She had just been assaulted by Shay just the previous day, and more importantly, SHE WAS STRAIGHT!

She zoned back into the conversation right as Bella asked, "So, you wanna head over to the coffee shop right over there, and have something to drink?" She gestured over to a small shop called, 'Espress Yo-Self'.

"That sounds good!" Said Christa hastily. They walked over and both ordered their drinks, Christa a small Caffe Mocha, and Bella a Cappuccino.

They talked for a while about their lives and finished up their drinks when Bella suggested that they should head over to her apartment. Christa agreed and Bella took her over to her car. When they got there, Christa noticed the expensive brand name of the car, Horshe, and wondered how Bella had been able to afford something so pricy. She shrugged it off and got into the passenger's side of the car. Bella started the engine and began to drive when she said, "We'll be there in around ten minutes, okay?"

"Yeah that sounds fine." Christa responded. They drove in silence until they reached a large, modern looking, building. Bella parked the car and motioned for Christa to do the same. Christa stared in shock at the massive apartment building in front of them.

"Are you coming?" Bella interrupted her thoughts.

"Yes!" She exclaimed, embarrassed. They then made their way over to one of the several elevators inside the complex. Once inside, Bella pressed the button for the top floor. They stood in silence for a minute, and finally reached their destination. The doors slid open, and Bella walked over to a door at the end of a short hallway, the only door. She pressed a keycard that she had grabbed from her bag against the lock, and opened the door. Inside awaited an enormous penthouse large enough to fit 30+ people, full of modern furniture.

"I'm not gonna be able to afford all this..." Mumbled Christa in shock.

"What'd you say?" Asked Bella.

"Oh nothing!" Exclaimed Christa, trying to hide her surprise.

"Oh, well would you like something to drink?"

"A glass of water would be nice." Responded Christa shyly.

"Coming right up!" Said Bella, before heading over into another room, which Christa guessed to be the kitchen. She looked around at all of the expensive items in the apartment, if you could even call it that. There were multiple paintings on the walls and a few pieces of modern art scattered around. She took a seat on a sofa and looked over at the coffee table. She gasped, on the table were several magazines, one with Bella on it that read, "Isabel Boxford Takes the Modeling Industry by Storm!" Christa couldn't believe it. She knew that seen Bella's, rather, Isabel's face somewhere, she was famous! After she came back to her senses, Christa then took the time to ask herself, what this model could want with her, and why she had posed as someone who needed a roommate.

Bella then walked in on Christa staring at the magazines and smiled, "We need to have a talk."
