The Dorm

Lily:

I smiled. "You like cleaning?"

"Yes, I do."

"I'm glad someone does. I hate cleaning. I'm so not a neat freak." I grinned. "Have you met our other roommates? Or anyone else?" I asked, curious, still thinking of the cute engineer major I had met in line. I sighed. He was wonderful.

If only he wanted me. I sighed. He probably didn't care about me, the class nerd.

"So which bed is mine?"

Lilith~

Lilith pointed to the bed on the left. "You can have that one." Lilith smiled at Lily and sat back down on her bed. "What are you majoring in?" She asked as Lily tossed her bag on the left bed.

Lily:

"Not a lot. Just...pre-law, English literature and macnics, and History courses, plus some others on the side. I'm also participating in the English horse riding program. No big." I finished, blushing.

"How about you?" I asked while I started to unpack all my now wrinkled clothes from the explosion earlier in the day.

Lilith~

"Oh that's cool. I'm majoring in Biological and Biomedical Sciences. I'm also doing some English literature, Math and Statistics courses." Lilith smiled and began to laugh. "I'm such a dork," she admitted shamefully, but continued to laugh.

Lily:

I laughed. "I'm a dork too. And a nerd. I haven't even had a boyfriend." I blushed. "I'm pretty sure we'll get along. Except...your more of a neat freak than I am." I grinned.

[Ryan Peterson]

Ryan quickly unpacked his things, shoving his clothes into the provided drawers. His roomate stayed quiet, listening to his iPod. Ryan enjoyed the silence, nonetheless. He didn't want to talk to anyone right now. He wanted to think.

Lily. What a beautiful name...

"Hey," Ryan said. Nick didn't look up; too focused on his music. Ryan sighed. He was going to ask if guys were allowed the girl dorms. Probably, but there were always those few colleges that didn't let you.

Oh well. If I get in trouble, I get in trouble. Now, what room was Lily in?

Lilith~

"Yep. I've always been this way," Lilith laughed again as she pulled the multi-colored tape off the wall behind her, "Diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder a few years ago in fact." Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Lily:

I was shocked. "I wonder who that could be..."

Lilith opened the door, and there stood Ryan. I gasped. "Um...hi again." I said, blushing.

Stop being a complete idiot! I shouted in my head. It wasn't listening. I just stood there, blushing. I'm such an idiot. I sighed.

"Getting settled in?" I asked, trying to make conversation.

Tristan-

"You have no idea how much I hate that question," I said, chuckling. Adam grinned at me.

"Why's that?"

"Because I can't make up my mind. I'm as bad as a damn woman, always changing my mind! I've switched majors thrice already."

"Wow," Adam nodded, watching me. I nodded my agreement.

"What about you?"

Adam-

"Medicine," he replied. "Had my heart set on it since I was thirteen."

"Lucky," Tristan muttered. "Whereabouts are you from?"

"Boston," Adam said, unzipping his suitcase. "And yourself?"

[Ryan Peterson]

Ryan figited. He was standing in the doorway, looking at the prettiest girl in the world. She had asked him a question... what was it? Crap! He flushed and looked at the ground.

"Um... nice room," he said. Ryan looked back up to her dazzling eyes and she laughed.

"I guess that means yes," she laughed and shifted her weight to the other side.

Lily:

I blushed. "So...how old are you? Excited about classes? Taking anything extracuricular?" I scrambled for something to talk about. Then I looked into his eyes. That was a mistake. All the thoughts in my mind left me.

I reddened. He was looking at me...like he loved me! I gasped.

It couldn't be! Could it?

Nick-

He looked up to find his room mate gone. Nick shrugged and opened the window. It was rather stuffy. He started unpacking his clothes and other belongings that he had, he didn't have much, but the rest would be here soon. He kept repeating the same name in his head, Channing Young, she was intriuging. He wished he could talk to her.

[Ryan Peterson]

He stuttered, "Um, I'm 18. I think. Yeah..." he blushed again for the millionth time. He could feel his temperature rising a thousand degrees. Man, she had listed off so many questions! What did she say?

"Yeah, I'm really excited for my classes. It's gonna be a heck of a time with those tests, though." He winked at her - accidentally. Her eyes widened in surprise. There had been something in his eye and he had winked! Man! Freaking idiot!

"I'm going to play baseball this year, hopefully, if I make it... yeah. So, what about you?" Ryan asked.

Lily:

I blushed. "Yeah...I'm excited for my classes. I'm 18, and I'm taking horse riding as an extracuricular activity." I blushed. "I miss my horse though. I had to leave him when I left home." I sighed. "He was big and black, and loved jumping. How about you? Leave any pets behind?"

He towered over me. Sometimes I hated being short. It was no fun.

I still can't believe a guy is talking to me! I blushed again. "So...any pets?" I repeated. He seemed to be having a hard time hearing me. I wonder why. My mind asked.
