you will move to a wonderful new home within the year
Funny shit has happened in the hallway again.
With this recent slate of events (by recent I mean for the past month and half or so), nearly everyone in our hallway now detests Natasha and wants her to move out of the hallway. (Will relate this saga in detail next time.)
Last weekend Jess (Natasha's roommate) went home to spend time with her family, and I had assumed she was going to return on Sunday. I was returning from the bathroom and opening the door to my room when the idea of leaving a message on the little message board on their door struck me. So I crossed over to their room door, right across from ours.
The whiteboard had a small clip on the top that held the marker in place. While removing the marker, a small sliver of paper slipped out from beneath the clip that held the marker in place. Whoa, I thought, Better not drop that, maybe someone's leaving a note for Jess.
The note, I soon realized, was one of those slips of paper you get out of a fortune cookie. Presumably, someone had gotten this fortune cookie from Grace's, the Asian restaurant downtown.
The words from the fortune cookie glanced up back at me.
And then I laughed because I realized it was not for Jess.
"You will move to a wonderful new home within the year," the note foretold.
It was for Natasha.
