"Meeeen, this place is fine"! Janet said as they got to the front gate.
"Imagine the kind of place a student chose to live".Sandra said. "Anyway, they can afford it". There was music coming from inside the compound. Sandra started to knock.
"What do you want to do? They won't hear us with this music. Let's just go inside".
"Well, okay".
They opened the small gate and walked to the house where the music was coming from. Sandra knocked.

"So where's the birthday boy". Sandra asked.
"He went out to get something ". Daniel replied. Someone called his name. "Look, you guys just... feel free. I have something to do, I'll be back".
"No problem". The house was a two-bedroom flat.
