Chapter 2: A new flat

After searching for a couple of days he managed to find a place to stay. It wasn't great, honestly it was pretty ugly, it had no windows, the room was 10m^2 small, and it was in the worst part of town, but at least it was something, and most importantly, it was a room he could afford, at least for a little while, with what money he had saved up.

But after signing the contract the realisation hit him, and he face palmed himself.

"Fuck, how am I gonna get all my stuff over here, I don't have a car, and I doubt any of my ex-classmates would give me a hand! I guess I have to carry all my stuff over here one by one using the bus."

After a long sigh, and some smacking his head with his palm, he got to work, and after about 16 hours of repeated going back and forth between his uni and his new flat, he had successfully managed to carry most of his stuff to his new place.

Exhausted he strechted his arms, and let himself fall on his bed, but when his body hit the bed, there was a loud CRACK, and he could feel, that one of the beams of the bed had broken under the weight of his body.

"You got the be kidding me. What is next world ? Huh ? Is the house gonna fall apart? Is a coconut gonna drop out of a cargo plane by accident and hit me on the head the next time I walk out of the house ?"

He thought out loud, whilst shaking his head, and chuckling.

"Oh well, I always wanted to try sleeping with the mattress on the floor anyway, so it is actually good that this happend, plus at the very least, it did happen now instead of later, so I can just shower after I disassemble the bedframe"

Still shaking his head in amusement, he got his screwdriver and started removing the bedframe bit by bit. After he was done doing that however, he realised, that there is no way of him getting these long wooden beams down the small staircase, so he figured he might as well just keep them.. as 'decoration'.

With the bed figured out finally, he got into the bathroom, took of his now very dusty, but still favorite 'Monster Muncher' hoodie, and the rest of his clothes and took a shower.

The warm sensation of the water hitting his body, the feeling of his long wet hair clinging to his back, and the calming and rythmic noise of the water hitting the shower floor made him relaxed, and whilst he was standing there, he thought:

"Okay, I got a place, now I only need to find a job, I really hope that will go well at least".

After a very long shower, he dried himself, and with his long black hair still damp, and a towel wrapped around his waist, he sat down on his favorite chair, and got to work, quickly scanning the internet for any jobs close by, writing down those that he liked.

Only when his eyelieds started to get more and more heavy, did he give in to the magnetic force, his bed had been attracting him, ever since he entered the room.

"Okay, I think, this is enough for today, I ca.n't look like a complete panda tomorrow, time to sleep."

He shut down his computer, put back his towel, and got into bed. Once he was lying there, he could feel the cold sensation of his wet hair on his back, but he was too exhausted to care, and fell to sleep as soon as his eyes closed.
