Y/N's POV

I hear the sound of the door opening from my bedroom, followed by footsteps entering the dormitory.

I stop what I was doing and go see who it was. I see a young girl about my age, maybe a year or two younger, struggling with a suitcase and some boxes.

"Oh! Here let me help you with that."

I take the suitcase from her and she walks in and sets the boxes down with a huff.

"Thanks... you must be my roommate."

I nod. "That's me! I'm Y/N, nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too, I'm Aaliyah."

I was about to speak, when I hear someone call from down the hall.

"Aaliyah?" It was a male voice, probably a relative of hers, bearing more boxes.

"In here, Shawn!" she calls back through the door.

The person she called Shawn, arrives at our dorm, and I'm met with a pair of hazel eyes. He was wearing a blue hoodie with the sleeves rolled up, and some black track pants.

"Thank you!" Aaliyah says cheerily as he sets the rest of her stuff down. "Y/N, this is my brother, Shawn. Shawn, my new roommate."

"Hey, nice to meet you," he says, extending a hand.

"Nice to meet you too," I reply, accepting it. I'd have to admit, my heart sped up a little and my cheeks may have heated slightly.

"Cool room you have here..." Shawn starts to walk in, but Aaliyah stops him.

"No, no, I let you drive me here, and I accepted your help in bringing my stuff up, but now it's time to go." She pushes him out the door and he laughs, shaking his head.

"The independent college girl already." He pulls her into a hug. "Bye, sis."

"Bye, Shawn," she says with a smile.

He turns to me. "See ya, Y/N!"

I give him a little wave and he heads off, Aaliyah shutting the door behind him.

"Brothers..." she mutters, rolling her eyes in playful annoyance.

I laugh, and start picking up boxes to help her bring them to her room.

I had a feeling we'd be fast friends.

I walk into my dorm room and 2 heads turn to me. One was Aaliyah's and the other's was Shawn's.

Right. She had told me that her family was coming to visit today, meaning that her parents were probably on their way.

This was the only weekend we really had any time to meet our families before exams started. I had lunch with mine yesterday. So far, we've only started lightly studying but starting tomorrow, we get down to business.

"Hey! I don't mean to interrupt, I'm just grabbing a book."

"No worries," she says as I run into my room to find what I was looking for.

On my way out, Shawn meets my gaze. He smiles at me and I do the same. I've seen him briefly a few times, either visiting Aaliyah or just dropping something off.

From what she told me, he's a couple years older, and has an apartment downtown which was nearby. She also mentioned something about him being a singer...
