Raven

I officially hate stairs, having to carry 6 very big and heavy boxes up two flights of stairs by myself is abso-fucking-lutly exhausting. I made it though but now I have to find my bed sheets because forgetful me forgot where I packed them, and there is no way in hell I’m sleeping on a used college mattress. There is no telling what type of STD’s is on that thing.

I feel bad for going to sleep without meeting my new roommate because she is currently taking night classes and isn’t here right now, but I need sleep. It’ll be fine.

*The next morning*

BEEP BEEP BEEP, ugh I forgot I had morning classes. What was I thinking (yeah I’ll be a productive member of society and get up early and go to class) sometimes I hate my reasonable self. So I regrettably get out of bed after pushing the snooze button twice and find my toiletry bag. I have to take a shower in the public dorm bathroom which is not comfortable, to say the least, but after 3 years of doing it, you kinda get used to it.

After my shower, I walk back to my room with just a towel on( not the best idea but I forgot to bring my clothes with me) and walk into my apartment to find my new roommate in the doorway.

Oh hi, you must be my new roommate. I was wondering when I would meet you. My name is Patricia or Pat for short. What’s your name?

Wow, she talks fast I didn’t even get a word in. Did she say all that in one breath?

Hi uh, nice to meet you my name is Raven. Yeah sorry, I didn’t introduce myself last night I was really tired.

No it’s fine I understand um I’m going out for breakfast I can wait for you to get dressed so we can get to know each other if you would like.

Yeah, that sounds nice just give me ten minutes.

Ok great.

So I walked back into my room and just put on the first thing I found which was a low cut gray T-shirt, Black leggings, and my white and black Adidas. It doesn’t take me long to brush my hair and put on some simple jewelry that I found on top of my clothes.

Hey, I’m ready to go.

Great, we can walk to the Starbucks on campus and then head to class so, don’t forget your books.

Ok, let me just go grab my bag.

We walk for about 5 minutes then we walk into Starbucks. I order my usual green tea frap. Then Patricia orders something really complicated with a bunch of half pumps and other weird stuff.

After we get our drinks(not even a breakfast but who cares) we sit down at a table.

So where are you from? What’s your favorite color? How old are you? Do you have any siblings? Are you emo?

Woah ok, calm down. I’m from San Diego California. My favorite color is yellow and black. I am 20. I am an only child and No, I don’t think so.

What about you.

Well, I was born here in Charleston South Carolina. My favorite color is pink. I am 20 as well. I have an older brother and I am most definitely not emo.

I looked at my phone and saw that it was 8: 45. I lost track of time talking to Pat I wanted at least twenty minutes to find my class and get settled.

Crap I have to go, my class, starts in 15 minutes I’ll see you at home, bye.

Good luck on your first day.

I rushed out of Starbucks and headed towards my first class.

My first class is some business lecture. I walk into class and decided to sit in the very middle.

I start setting up my laptop to take notes and then this guy( who by the way is hella hot )sits right beside me. I don’t think you understand this but every seat is open and he sits next to me. Like personal space much.

Hi I’m Kyle, you must be new

He held out his hand for me to shake. As soon as I touched his hands I felt sparks. It was like nothing I ever felt before it was so sensational and it sent shivers done my spine. That was super weird.

Hi I’m Raven how did you know I was new this is the first class of the semester.

I’ve never seen you on campus before I know basically everyone on campus.

Oh ok...cool.

After a long awkward silence, the professor walks in and he introduces himself and begins his lecture then I fell a poke in my side

I turn and it’s weirdo Kyle over here trying to get my attention.

Psst… Psst… Hey, can I borrow a pencil?

Yeah sure.

I hand him my pencil and I feel those sparks again when our hands accidentally brush against each other.

Thanks.

*Time jump to night time*

After my very long day, I start to walk home and I get close to my dorm room but I started to hear footsteps behind me each way I turned.

I started to freak out so I start walking faster and I pick up my phone and pretend to talk to someone.

I got to my dorm room and turned around to find Kyle at his door unlocking it.

Hey Raven looks like we’re neighbors.

Yeah, that’s great… well, night.

Ugh now, this weirdo hottie is my neighbor. Now at least I know no one was following me...technically.

I walk into my house and am instantly hit by this amazing aroma. It smells like good ole southern cooking.

Hey, Raven, I hope you’re hungry because I made chicken fried steak.

Omg, I love this woman, I think I think this is the start of a great friendship.

That sounds so good I am starving.

Good cause I made a lot.

I sit down to the island counter and start eating and lord let me tell you it was so delicious.

I was so focused on eating I completely missed what Pat said.

Sorry, what was that? I was so invested in eating I didn’t hear a word you said.

Oh well, I just asked you how your first day went.

It was OK for the most part. In my first class, this really hot but strange guy sat next to me and then borrowed my pencil and then turns out he’s our neighbor.

Omg, he didn’t give me my pencil back I completely forgot about that.

Wait you mean the campus hottie Kyle sat next to you. Our extremely hot neighbor sat next to you. Was there like no other seats open?

Now I’m a little hurt she sounded so condescending ouch.

Um… no, every seat was open which is why I thought it was so weird.

Oh sorry if that sounded rude it's just he's not normally like that he's very distant and doesn't like to sit next to anyone or even be neighborly and say hello not once.

Hahaha sounds like someone’s a little salty there.

The rest of dinner was awkward and had a lot of idle small talk. After thinking about it I think it’s safe to say that Patricia won’t murder me in my sleep so I can go to sleep soundly.

I got ready for bed and had just started to drift off to sleep. Then I heard a loud banging from the room next door.

After being really annoyed for five minutes I realized that it was coming from Kyle’s room.

I got up not caring what I was wearing and walked out of my apartment and started banging on his door.

It opened revealing a shirtless greek god. (I melted on the spot)

Can I help you Raven

Ooooh, that sounded so sexy the way my name rolled off his tongue. How have I never noticed that before?

Uh………
