"And this is the master bathroom with the jacuzzi tub, like I said in the ad. That's the whole house. You and your roommates can fight over who gets the master bedroom. Heat and electricity are included. I need first month, last month and security deposit."
Jack reached into his pocket and unfolded a cashier's check. He signed it and handed it to the landlord. "That's for the whole semester."
The landlord looked at it, gave a whistle and grinned at Jack. "You are now my favorite tenant, college boy. Call me if you need anything."
The landlord left and Jack walked around the rented house, a stupid grin on his face. He was out on his own for the first time and enjoying the feel of freedom. Sure, Dad was paying his rent, but he had earned his scholarship that had gotten him to the school. And he was rooming with his two best friends from childhood, so he was pretty happy about seeing them again.
Sure they were girls, but they had always gotten along and had kept up on social media. Jack figured he would take the master bedroom and that bathroom and the girls could take the main bathroom. That would keep things nice and separate. He didn't plan to intrude on their personal lives. They were just friends.
He had no idea how quickly that was going to change.
Jack had been a jock and a nerd in high school. He was on the chess team and the gymnastics team and boxed. All those years on the pommel horse and rings gave him shoulders and a chest that would make a bodybuilder take notice. Not that he was very good, because he was no where near the Olympic level. Standing at six foot, five inches, he was just too damn big to be a great gymnast. He never even placed at state. As a boxer he was okay. His balance and footwork were impeccable, especially for a white guy. He won alot of boxing matches, more than he lost. Of course, he got to college on a chess scholarship. The guys sure gave him shit for that one, but not alot of shit. Not that Jack cared, he was happy to not pay for school, and chess was incredibly fun.
The house was a one floor, three bedroom number. There was a separate garage, an above ground pool and a kitchen and living room. The house was furnished, cheaply. They may want to hit the salvation army and spruce the place up. It was in the suburbs, not far from the campus. The yard was private, a nice hedge and fence gave them privacy from snooping neighbors. Surprisingly, it was much cheaper to rent a house then for the three of them to live on campus.
The girls were scheduled to arrive that afternoon. Jack had a couple hours to kill, so he unpacked his stuff from his van and set up his room. Not that he had alot of stuff. He's worked for everything he had, paper routes, cutting grass and part time jobs. He made a mental note to keep an eye on Craigslist for a used mower on the cheap.
Once he was done setting up his room he checked in on Facebook and tagged his friends. "This is going to be a great year."
