Looking for a Roommate - Part 1


Upon arriving to the University, Simon didn't have to go to the dorms, since Tony decided to pay the rent of a small apartment on campus for him.


Even so, Simon looked for odd part times jobs to earn his own money and to feel that he didn't completely depend from his father.


But there were days when his studies at the Science School took all of his time and left him without energies, making it hard for him to report at his work places.


By the time he got out of classes he was so tired that all he could think about was going home to sleep.


Fortunately, his mother has given him a car and his father insisted in sending money for expenses. Simon didn't think that was fair, cause he was already a full-fledged adult, he had even been married, for crying out loud. But with so  much to study it was impossible for him to keep a job; and his scolarship, although juicy, wasn't enough to pay all the bills. He should, at least, find a way to pay the rent himself, but how?


Finally, one night, while browsing the campus website, he found some students' ads looking for roommates.
"Of course! How come this hadn't occurred to me?"
That same night he placed an add in the website: "2 Roommates needed to share apartment. Requirements: None, just pay rent on time", he typed and pressed send. Little did he know he was sealing a pact with fate.
