Note: The only instance of hetero sex in this story happens in this chapter, hence why it's in the "Lesbian Sex" category.

My apartment's never been that bad. I have enough space. I have a nice view of the town from my balcony and the barking dogs only wake me up at night sometimes. If I had to change something...
"Oh fuck! Agh, you're so fucking hot, god, I'm cumming!"
... It'd be that my walls are too thin.
My name's Alice. When I was eighteen, I moved out of my house and came to Lowlight City so I could study medicine. Well, I guess it's more accurate to say my family urged me to come here for that. I mean, I always had nice grades growing up, so the door was open for that kind of future. I was offered a scholarship and everyone around me basically pushed me forward. Why not, right?
I didn't have any friends. That wasn't too bad, to be honest. School had kept me busy most of the time anyway, so it wasn't like I was missing out on much. That excuse stopped being effective around the time I turned twenty.
Now, at twenty-one, I... Uh, I guess I do feel like I'm missing out. Coincidentally, my apartment building happened to be pretty close to a few nightclubs. That meant that on the weekends, I could hear the crowds forming up and filing into them. Thank god for noise-isolating headphones.
Last week though, the vacant unit next to mine was taken. See, here's the thing. My family was pretty well off, so I had been gifted quite a bit when I came over here. This floor, because of the view, happened to be the most expensive in the building. So, no one else lived on it. It was just me. I always knew that would change someday, but it was surreal to see it happen.
"There you go, you're all set up, right?" My landlord, a tall and burly man, asked someone.
"Yep. I got it from here, thanks!" I was reading a biology book when I heard that voice for the first time. Bubbly, girly and full of energy. I imagined a voice like that had to belong to someone way more sociable than me.
I was curious, honestly. It was the kind of tone you hear on tv, coming from the "spunky best friend" type that always shows up on those trashy American Pie style movies.
Yet, it wouldn't be until the next day that I'd actually meet her.
That night, the coffee hadn't been doing a great job of keeping me up. I had a quiz the next day and I was trying to prepare for it but the fight going on in my body between me and Sleep was like Rocky Balboa vs Apollo Creed. So, I put my book down and I decided to take a walk. I briefly glanced at my closet though before I left. Did I... "No. No. It's worthless to even consider doing that." I thought.
I didn't have any lights on, I preferred being in the dark (as Batman-ish as that may sound). So when I opened my door, the light kind of blinded me.
"Agh, h-hey!" I collided with a girl that had been on the other side.
We fell on the floor.
Of course, I started firing off apologies at Rap God by Eminem speed.
"Sorry! Oh my gosh, I just, I wasn't looking and I'm tired and I didn't know there was someone outside and... And..." I panted as I finally opened my eyes and looked at the person beneath me.
My heart nearly stopped.
You know, rom-com books always give these super exaggerated descriptions of characters that when you think about it make no sense. For example, they might say a man had "abs like the Empire State Building" or that a girl had "boobs as soft as the clouds from which God descended onto us with" or things like that.
When I say this woman had piercing pink eyes, I mean that it felt like she could see through me. Blonde, nearly white, hair and an exceptionally kind smile, I froze as she started laughing.
"No, no. It's my fault. I was going a bit too fast." She said and wow, if her voice sounded cute before, hearing it up close like this was too much. She sounded like if she started singing the sun would make an early appearance tonight.
"No!" I interrupted her. "I wasn't looking."
"If you wanna take the blame that badly, I'll let you." She laughed again and I found myself lost in every part of her. Her voice, her dimples, the short white dress she was wearing. "That said, if you wanna have this conversation from a standing position, I think that would be better, don't you?"
I basically backflipped off of her.
"Sorry!"
"Apology not accepted. At least, until you tell me your name." She dusted herself off.
I blushed and took a step back. "What's happening to me?" I wondered.
"I'm... I'm Alice."
"Nice to meet ya, Alice." A somewhat pale hand stretched out toward me. "I'm Lia."
Lia. That's the name of the girl that changed my life.
"Nice to meet you too," I mumbled, looking away.
She giggled.
"You're pretty funny, Alice. I'll see you around."
"Y-Yeah."
I retreated back inside my house, aborting all plans of a walk.
The next day, I debated whether or not I should grace the day with my presence or not. Ultimately, responsibilities won the argument and I forced myself out of my bed. It was 10:00 am. I went into the bathroom to take a shower, but I stopped in front of my mirror.
I took a long look at myself.
"Yeah, I'm not cute at all, huh?" I muttered. I had short brown hair that barely touched my shoulders, I was a bit too skinny if my nearly-showing ribcage was any indication. I was the most ordinary-looking woman in the building, probably.
After I made sure to keep my Hygiene Meter in the green, someone knocked on my door.
That didn't happen often.
I had to hear it a second time to confirm that I hadn't been isolated for so long that I imagined the event. Once reality made sure to communicate that to me, I basically ran there.
When I opened the door, long white hair, kind pink eyes, and a frilly white dress stared back at me. Lia looked like an actual angel, an angel holding out a plate.
"Hey, I made some omelets today. Had some leftovers, you want 'em?"
I blinked.
