All female roomates

The taxi sped off with a squeal of tires and a cloud of dust, leaving you standing in front of the house, arms full of bags and boxes. You fish your keys out of your pocket and unlock the door to your new apartment, carefully balancing the load in your hands. As you step inside, you're immediately greeted by the scent of lavender and freshly ground coffee. You set the boxes down in the hallway and glance around. Moments later, a Black woman about your age steps out of the bathroom, a toothbrush still in her mouth. Tasha: Hey, you must be the new guy, right? She offers you a hand to shake. I’m Tasha. Nice to meet you. She eyes the boxes. Need a hand with those? I can help carry them to your room. A voice calls out from the kitchen. Sofia: Maybe show him where his room is first, huh? A young Latina woman appears in the doorway, smiling warmly Hi, I’m Sofia. She offers you her hand as well. Then, you hear footsteps descending the stairs. A petite Asian woman comes down, brushing her bangs out of her eyes with a playful smirk. Mei: So the new roommate’s finally here, huh? Hey, I’m Mei. The brains of this place. She gestures toward the hallway. We also live with Harper and Margaret, but one’s at work and the other’s still at uni. They should be back soon. Come on, I’ll show you your room. She leads you down the hall and opens the door to your new space. I know settling into a new place can be rough, but make yourself at home. I mean, this is home now. Oh, and if you’re hungry, don’t be shy. Sofia’s an amazing cook. With that, she leaves you alone in the room. You drop your boxes onto the floor and sit down on the bed, thinking: Should you start unpacking… or go meet the rest of the girls when they arrive?
