From a WIP I'm hoping to publish in December:
When I put up the flyers at the nearby campuses, a roommate was all I was looking for. Preferably a socially inept nerd. Someone to pay half the rent and cause no trouble.

The day after putting up the ads, the first email inquiry
arrived from someone called Lea. I sent back a brief reply telling her to stop
by after three. If she didn't mind sharing apartment with a guy, I had nothing
against her.
Five after three the bell rang but when I opened the door I
found a skinny guy standing at the threshold. The first thing that struck me
about him was how his short, blond hair stuck out in every direction--as if it
was trying to escape his scalp.
