A Cool Roommate.

Emma Smith

I ended up leaving the book and walking out as fast as possible, god i needed some freah air after that.

As soon as I walked out the door I let go a breath I didn't know I was holding in. I never felt something so intense since my ex, Josh.

We broke up junior year after 1 year of dating, it was a tough break up. I met Josh freshmen year and we kind of just hit it off from there, at first we were best friends then realized we had feelings for eachother.

We started dating soon after that and were together since but didn't last till today. Our relationship was amazing the first two months, I loved him so much, he'd buy me flowers for no reason or write love letters just to make me smile but that didn't last long before our relationship took a turn.

Things got fucked up and I ended it just after our one year anniversary, sad I know.

As I was walking back to my dorm as the sun was setting I couldn't help but let my mind drift to that Zack guy. I couldn't get his captivating ocean eyes out of my head or the way the depth of his voice ran dangerous shivers down my spine.

He's muscular body that tumbled over my own 'you are definitely sexually frustrated' I thought to myself. Before I could carry on with my perverted thoughts I was infront of my dorm room, as I came in there was a boy sitting on the bed "you scared the shit out of me man!" I screamed as I tried to recover from what felt like a slight heart attack.

"oh my bad honey, I didn't mean to scare you." you don't fucking say I thought but kept my sarcastic remarks to myself "no it's fine I just wasn't expecting anyone to be here when I got in."

I knew I was a socially awkward person and I didn't like it "sugar, everyone has a roommate whether they like it or not and I'm yours so you gonna have to get used to it. " he said, I knew I would have a roommate but I thought they get a longer break, I guess I was wrong just like every other time...

" I knew that, I just wasn't expecting you so soon, anyway I'm Emma Smith and I'll be your roommate for the next remaining years that we are here, how about you? "he looked at me as if I had grown a second head but I didn't mind it," I'm Alexander but you can call me Alex because my name is fucking long and also Alex is easier to remember." I made a mental note of that.

"ok cool, nice to meet you and I look forward to our time together in this room, also I hope it doesn't freak you out or anything that I'm a girl if you know what i mean." he laughed, he just fucking laughed like dude I'm being serious, boys are hormonal creatures and aren't afraid to show it.

"Sorry to spoil it for you, but I'm gay love so no need to worry about me ending up in your bed, ever." I was speechless, I didn't think he was gay but maybe I should've picked up on the way he called me honey "oh shit, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to offend you or anything I just simply didn't know or think you were." i looked away feeling embarrassed.

he burst out laughing again and too say i felt embarrassed and uncomfortable was an understatement "no offense taken, it's not exactly the first thing I'd say when I've just met you, no worries." he cracked a cheeky smile.

To think that in the back of my mind I thought he was cute, little did I know he looks the other way, I've always wanted a gay best friend so maybe this is my shot.

"cool, this should be fun Alex" I said and giggled to myself at the thought of having a gay roommate, this is gonna be so fun omg!!

"you've made a new friend, let this year fucking begin! " he said and it warmed my heart to know that he saw me as a friend already.

It felt refreshing to have new people enter your life and I knew that Alex was going to be a keeper for sure. After we both got settled in and comfortable with each other's company we decided it was time to get to know eachother a bit better.

Alex asked if he could take me for coffee tomorrow and me being the caffeine addict that I am couldn't pass up free coffee and great company. We realized how late it was getting and we needed our "beauty sleep" as Alex said so we headed off to bed.

Tomorrow was going to be a great day and I couldn't wait to see what the day has waiting for me.
