Joe is really cool and nice because Jason go to his house to play video games and listening music. Next to the apartment of Joe lives Sue, she used to live in the third floor but he changed it because she lived above Mr. Wilson's apartment and she couldn't played her music, now, she can cause she is still in the third floor but above kelly.
Mr. Taylor lives on the first floor, he's single and a really good cook.
Kelly goes to the university and she's really nice, but Mr. Wilson and Mr.Poper aren't nice because they say all the time that Jason is too loud.

Jason lives in a building close to his university. He lives on a second floor where there are other 2 neighbours, Kelly, who is nice, and Mr Wilson, who is not nice. Mr Wilson yells at anyone who plays loud music. On the upper floor live Sue and Joe. Sue used to live above Mr Wilson, but as he argued about music she moved above Kelly so she can play her music. Joe live right above Jason and he says Joe's really cool. On the first floor, under Mr Wilson live Mr Roper and under Kelly Mr Taylor, who is nice to everyone.
