It’s Saturday afternoon, and Ellen has been spending the day with her cousins, Brianna and Diedre. What better place to take them for lunch than the Boa Boa Cafe!
Ellen: Ok, Girls, what do you want to order?
Brianna and Deidre: Cupcakes!!
Ellen: Maybe one cupcake for each of you, but only one. While Ellen helps the girls order foods that are not pure sugar, Zoe walks in.
Ellen: Hi Zoe!
Zoe: Oh, hi Ellen! I didn’t expect to see you here.
Ellen: My cousins are visiting, so I thought it would be nice to bring them here for lunch. Girls, say hello to Zoe.
Briana and Diedre: Hello, Zoe.
Zoe: Hello! Aww, they’re too cute!! I don’t want to interrupt, though.
Ellen: It’s alright, we're waiting on our orders anyway. Did you get a chance to talk to your aunt?
Zoe: No. I was going to talk to her last week, but she left for a lecture series at Berkeley, and will be there for the rest of the semester. I think this is something we should talk about face to face, so I’ll wait until she gets back. And then the worst thing ever happened yesterday! Takeo and I had this big argument, and we haven’t spoken since!!
Ellen: Wow, Zoe. I’m sorry to hear that. We’ll have to play catch-up next week. There’s been a lot going in my life too. By the way, do you know anyone who's looking for a roommate?
Zoe: Uhhm, no. Why do you know someone who needs one?
Ellen: Yeah, me. Neve is moving in with a friend of hers, and I need to find a roommate by the end of the month.
Zoe: I thought you and Never were so close.
Ellen: Well, we’re roommates, but we're not exactly best friends. She’s ok sometimes, mostly because she’s hardly ever around, but she is messy, and I won’t miss catching Neve and random guys going at it on the couch.
Zoe: Ewww, you mean they were making out?
Ellen: Umm, no. They were well past the “making out” stage.
Zoe: Ewwww!!
Ellen: Tell me about it!
Brianna: They were doing the nasty!
Ellen: Brianna! She gets that from my aunt. 
Zoe: What about me?
Ellen: You?
Zoe: I could be your roommate!
Ellen: Don’t you already have an apartment?
Zoe: Yeah, but with me traveling so much, it really is a waste to pay full rent at a place I’m not even at half the time. Besides, we already know each other! Oh and I’m neat! And I’ve already seen the apartment!
Ellen: Oh well, I guess…
Zoe: Please! Please! I can give my current place 30 days notice, but I will pay you in advance for next month's rent.
Ellen: Oh well in that case, ok!
Zoe: Oh yay!!! When can I come by to sign the lease?
Ellen: How about next Wednesday? I can get off work early and we can meet at 3:30pm..
Zoe: Ok! That sounds great! See you then!!
Nice story. The girls are just too cute! I hope the Ellen is okay with Zoe moving in. I guess we'll see what happens.
