A Girl Adopted By Wolves (Three book set) novel Chapter 40

After a ten and a half hour long flight we finally reached Oakland International Airport. We are going to live in Berkeley. It’s a 30 minutes ride from here. We went out of the airport after collecting our luggage and hailed a cab to our new home for four years, North Berkeley. This is a really expensive place to live but dad found a one bedroom apartment for a lower price. The owners are really nice people. I hope our neighbor is not as bad either. The rent is $1800 a month which is quite low for the area but we got lucky I guess. Aaron and I wanted to live together and college accommodation was not at all an option in that case. We got really lucky to have found this apartment. We exited the cab after reaching our location and got our luggage out. I paid the driver and he zoomed off.

“Finally here.” Aaron said all excited making me laugh.

“Yup. Let’s get settled so we can go find jobs tomorrow.” I said frowning at the idea of getting a job here.

I hope we find one though. Dad paid my first year tuition fee but I still have three more years to go after that. I have saved up as much as I can in three years part time jobs. I have enough money to pay for the next year tuition and a year worth of rent but I will have to work my butt off to accumulate for the remaining years. Then there is food, school supplies and god knows what. I have to find a part time job as soon as I can.

“Oh come on Amy. We just got here and you are already on about work and stuff.” Aaron said huffing dramatically. “At least take a week off to look around this place.”

“Fine we will start with the job hunting after a week. Let’s get inside first. My hands are aching from the weight of this bag” I grumbled.

Aaron laughed at my pouty face and started walking towards the door of the apartment. He rang the doorbell as we don’t happen to have our keys yet. They are going to give them to us today. The door opened and a short lady came into view. Yup shorter than my 5’3” self. Her bright blue eyes staring at us in excitement, her black curls tumbling around her slightly tanned face with a sweet smile directed towards us. She has her curves in all the right places. She looked really adorable for a fifty some women.

“Hello.” She said in a childlike full of excitement voice. Someone’s really ecstatic to have us here. “Come on in.” She continued turning on her heels. “You must be my new tenants, Amara and Aaron.”

We nodded awkwardly. She was literally bouncing on her feet. Is she high on something?

“You guys are so adorable and no I am not high honey.” The last part was directed to me.

I blinked. Did I say that out loud or did she just read my mind?

“I caught that from your expression.” She explained giggling. “I am really good at it. I am a psychiatrist after all.”

“I am sorry.” I apologized rubbing the back of my neck.

Talk about embarrassing. Aaron on the other was shaking from silent laughter. Wait till I get my hands on you bitch.

“You don’t have to apologize sweetie. I really love kids so I am a little over joyed about having you two here.” She said smiling sweetly.
