A: | 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? |
A: | 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 |
