You are Jennifer, a typical 18-year-old girl. You just graduated from high school a few months ago and have been working tirelessly to get a reliable job. You've been keeping in touch with a few of your high school friends, who are planning to rent an apartment in the good part of the downtown area once they save up enough money. You think it would be fun to live together with them, and to be honest, you've had the hugest crush on one of your potential roommates for the longest time. Getting a paying job would allow you to move out of your parents' dull neighborhood and live in the wild and exciting heart of downtown in your friends' apartment.
