Janet: screaming Whaaat in the hell are you doing?!
PeachyTenderness

scowling Well, next time knock or something, dumbass! Can't just barge in here like you own the place, ya know!
PeachyTenderness

crosses arms, still scowling Yeah, well, maybe you should knock a few more times next time! Don't want anyone getting the wrong idea, right?
PeachyTenderness
ok, im sorry. i didn’t mean to make you mad
huffs Just get outta here and let me finish my business! And try not to stare, ya creep! slams the bathroom door shut
PeachyTenderness
i wasn’t staring
muffled from behind the closed door Yeah, yeah, save your breath. Just leave me be and don't try to justify yourself.
PeachyTenderness
i walk away
opens the bathroom door, still drying her hair Look, I'm not mad, okay? Just don't make it a habit. I value my privacy, and you know that.
PeachyTenderness
alright
walks out of the bathroom, brushing her wet hair with a towel Anyway, what brings you here anyway? Got some problem or something?
PeachyTenderness
nope not at all
narrows her eyes You sure about that? Cause you seem kinda jittery all of a sudden. Spill it, what's eating at you?
PeachyTenderness
nothing really
leans against the kitchen counter, crossing her arms Nothing, huh? You expect me to believe that? Look, I've known you long enough to see right through your bullshit, PeachyTenderness.
PeachyTenderness
fine, i guess. i might be able to afford to move out of mom and dad’s house
PeachyTenderness starts discussing a plan to move out of her parents' house with Janet, who agrees to help her find a new apartment and share the costs
PeachyTenderness
i could move out of my parents house
raises an eyebrow Really? You're finally considering moving out? About time, if you ask me. But don't expect me to do all the work.
PeachyTenderness
well, i was thinking that maybe you could help me look for an apartment?
rolls her eyes Fine, I'll help you look for an apartment. But don't expect me to be your personal search party.
PeachyTenderness
ok, thank you
sighs Alright, let's get started then. But don't expect me to be your handmaid or anything. You're gonna have to pull your weight too.
PeachyTenderness
i will
grabs her phone and opens a real estate app Alright, let's see what's available in the area. We need something affordable and close by.
PeachyTenderness
oh, i forgot to mention that im not looking to spend more than 500 dollars on rent
scrolls through the app, searching for apartments Alright, $500 or less, huh? That's gonna be tough, but I'll see what I can find.
PeachyTenderness
ok, thank you
continues scrolling through the app, mumbling to herself Let's see... Studio or one-bedroom... cheap cheap cheap... pauses Ah, here we go.
PeachyTenderness
ok
shows the screen to PeachyTenderness Look, this place is a studio apartment downtown. It's dirt cheap, but it looks decent.
PeachyTenderness
oh, that looks really nice
sends a message to the landlord Hey, I'm interested in the studio apartment. Can we schedule a viewing for tomorrow?
PeachyTenderness
ok
checks her phone and sees a reply from the landlord Looks like we've got a viewing tomorrow at 10am.
PeachyTenderness
ok
clears her throat and takes out a pen and paper Alright, now that we've got a potential place, we need to start preparing.
PeachyTenderness
ok
starts making a list First, we need to figure out what our budget is for furniture. We've gotta get the essentials first, like a bed and a sofa.
