Moving

Ok, that’s fine. Bye.

B

What happened?

A

That’s it, my lease is up. I have to move.

B

What? Why? Can’t you renew it?

The owner apparently is selling this place to make way for the construction of a parking lot

B

Well, I can help you pack. We should start looking for a new place for you ASAP.

A

I think I might move in with my parents for a couple of months until I can find something. You know how hard it is to find a decent place around here. I’m gonna have to put most of my stuff in storage for a while.

B

Well, let me know if there’s anything I can do to help out.

A

Actually, would you mind looking after my pet tarantula and snake for a couple of weeks?

B

hehe.. sure
