January 17
It was the weekend which meant no college and that in itself was a reason to celebrate but instead of heading out on the party scene like most of the other students and people her age was doing; Trinity was at home with a good book, a warm fire and her best friend in the whole world, Pepper. Pepper, she was the mother’s idea since Trinity was living in the big city well away from the family, her parents bought her a pet and initially she rejected but Pepper really grows on people quickly and now Trin can’t imagine not having a pet, not having Peppy.
The night would have been as Trinity wanted if it wasn’t for the throbbing music from upstairs which literally was shaking the room into cracks. Bloody animals, it was really the only complaint she had to a rather nice apartment but she couldn’t afford to say anything since well she was still the ‘new tenant’ in the building. Fingers flipped pages as her face received a nice glow from the roaring fire, the music was blocked out and together with Pepper she felt herself drifting asleep more and more, her grip on her book getting softer until eventually……BANG! BANG! BANG!
She jumped slightly, Pepper darting off the sofa as she went to the door with curiosity in her mind, who was it? After a moment to adjust to the sharp movement, Trinity got to her feet leaving her book at the page she was on and approached the door, “Good girl.” She ruffled Pepper’s ears and peered into the peep hole and sighed, it was late. A hand unlocked the door, pulled the handle and opened the door slightly, peering round, “Hi, can I help you?” She wasn’t expecting visitors but this was Manhattan, it never seemed to sleep. Pepper immediately started to bark, she hated strangers and was highly defensive.
