When I got back to the flat I was sharing with Mark, a college friend, it was already past midnight. I had spent
the weekend in my hometown with my parents, so I was feeling quite relaxed. I’d had a chance to forget about
studying for a bit and to spend time with family and some old school friends who were still living in the area.
I quietly unlocked the door to my flat and went inside, nearly falling over Mark’s sports bag, which he’d
carelessly left in the middle of the hall, as usual. His shoes and tennis gear were lying all over the place as well.
I took off my coat and went to the kitchen to have some tea. It was the same story there, or rather it was worse
because it not only looked a mess, but it smelt bad too. There were dirty dishes all over the work surfaces, and
the bin was so full that some rubbish had spilled out onto the floor.
Furious, I dashed through to the living room, which I’d carefully tidied on Friday before leaving for my parents’
place. A strong smell of cigarette smoke hit me as soon as I opened the door, despite the fact that I’d asked
Mark a thousand times not to smoke in the flat. It was not only that I found it personally disgusting, the
landlord had forbidden smoking inside the property, so Mark was putting us at risk of eviction.
If anything, the living room was worse than the kitchen. Old pizza boxes and takeaway containers, half-drunk
mugs of tea and discarded newspapers were scattered everywhere. From the mess, you would think I had five
flatmates instead of one. I was shocked to see one of my chemistry textbooks lying open on the coffee table,
with a brown stain on the pages where something had been spilt. I was sure I had left the book in my room,
so it seemed that Mark was not only spreading his mess all over the flat, he was invading my personal space
as well. A pair of filthy socks tossed into the corner of the room was the last straw. I had been pretty tolerant
up to now, but this was really the limit.
‘No more!’ I thought as I walked angrily towards his bedroom. I had no idea what I would say, but it was
obviously not going to be pleasant, and I was dreading what the response would be.
