Roommates

Chapter 1| Roommate

"Alright bye. Love you" I say to my parents on the phone.

"Love you! Good luck!" They both say at the same time.

I hang up and put my phone away. I'm glad my parents didn't lecture me over college or anything like other parents would and just have them trust me.

I walk with my blue suitcase strolling behind me.

I keep walking until I see the college building. I walk through the gates along with other people going in.

I look around. Looks like I'll be here for the next 4 years.

I try looking for a specific building where the office is, in order to sign in for my dorm room.

Where I live it's far from the college I'm attending. Which means I need a dorm to stay in.

I overhear a group of friends talking about the office. That they're on their way there. I follow behind them since I don't know where that building is.

Just as I keep walking I see a map of the college. Wow Maya.

I look it over and know where to go which is where the group is going.

Now knowing where to go I'm still following their way.

They walk in first through the doors. I go last entering the office. It's quite small but I don't think this is the main office of the college.

Five minutes later the group leaves and it's my turn to go up the desk.

"Good morning" I say to a middle aged lady.

"Good morning sweetheart" the lady says. "Here for your dorm?"

"Yes" I say

She types something on her computer. It takes her some time there so we do small talk "Did you room with a girl or anything?"

"Supposedly"

"Alright. Name?"

"Maya Parker"

She starts taking out a file. She looks it over and then puts it away.

"Ok let me just see what room your getting so then you can meet your roommate" she says looking back at her computer.

"Maya Parker" she whispers to herself as she types. "Huh that's funny"

"What is?" I question

"Here it says you won't have a girl as a roommate"

"Excuse me?"

"Well your going to have a boy. But don't worry. Over the years things like this happen. It's something I can't control. So you'll have to deal with it" she says with a shrug. "Hopefully you'll get along with him"

I just nod. Still not understanding why I'd be put with a guy.

"But anyways it's just a switch sweet heart. So here" she says handing me a key. "It's for your dorm room 217. Also you won't be having classes in a month. So until then you can pick up your schedule when classes start. Oh and if you get lost" she says taking out a folded paper. "Here's a map. Good luck" she says with a smile.

"Ok thank you" I say walking off still a bit confused.

I'll be having a guy as a roommate? For the next 4 years? Well if this is going to happen for long it'll just mean we'll have to get along. But what if he's a drug dealer? Or a total nerd? Or even, worse?

I look over the map, the lady gave me.

I find the building I'll be staying in. Huh there's two. And she didn't say if it was apartment one or two. I look at the key. Apt2.
