Chapter 19: New Home
[~Song Recommendation: Lean On Me by Glee version~]
As planned, Cammy drove Ellie’s car into the city, and they stopped by Dylan’s school first before checking out the apartments the real estate agent had sent her via email.
Cammy and Ellie were both enthusiastic about visiting each place, unlike Felicity, who sulked and had something critical and negative to say about every apartment they saw.
"Cammy, dear, this neighborhood feels unsafe. I really don’t think you should live here," Felicity remarked at the fifth apartment.
"For once, I agree with Felicity. Should we keep looking?" Ellie chimed in.
"You know what, you’re both right. This place isn’t for me. That’s why I’m going with the third one!" Cammy declared excitedly, before turning to the real estate agent. "Can you secure that one for me?"
The agent’s face lit up, and she clasped her hands in delight. "I’ll take care of it right away. Give me a moment—I’ll call the owner now."
Felicity wasn’t pleased with Cammy’s decision and rolled her eyes. "Even that one isn’t up to par. It needs tons of repairs, and the owner isn’t covering any of it."
Cammy smiled, fully aware of why Felicity disapproved of every apartment they’d seen. "I know, but the owner is offering a rent reduction in exchange for doing the repairs. I’m actually excited about it! I’ve been wanting to try some DIY renovations but never had the chance. I think this is it," Cammy said excitedly, earning a scoff from Felicity, who crossed her arms in clear discontent.
Ellie bit her lip, trying not to laugh as Felicity pouted like a spoiled child on the verge of a tantrum.
"Why don’t you just take one of my apartments? Don’t you want to live in a nice neighborhood with a great view? All of my places have top-tier security and are in prime city locations," Felicity offered.
