Invitation

Angel's P.O.V.

"What extreme precision Mr. Mato!" Ms. Morell exclaimed as she viewed the plate in front of her. It was just a simple charcuterie board consisting of thinly cut aged cheddar cheese,evenly fanned strawberries, a random mix of nuts and other fruits. She then picked up a grape slice. "It must have taken a long time to slice them this thin, correct?

"Quite the opposite actually," I replied. "The whole project was finished in about 7 minutes I believe." I did my best not to sound cocky as the rest of the class turned and faced me. A light blush appeared across my cheeks.

"Nevertheless," she continued, "An A is the lowest possible grade I can ever give this display. Congrats! You may now take this free time to go unpack."

And with that, I turned on my heels and exited the classroom. The crisp, cool air hit me as white petals began to fall from the trees above and in turn creating something of a winter wonderland. I stretched my arms while I walked towards my car to get the three boxes I packed and head up to my dorm.

*~Time Skip~*

After taking one last step, I finally reached my floor. The hallway was empty, yet full in the sense of being lined with boxes of cardboard. It was also noisy as almost every door was open, except for one. I stepped in front of it, reading my dorm number from the dry erase board on the side. On the inside I could hear two voices laughing, recognizing one as my dorm mate Cyrus, but not recognizing the other one. I tried to twist the doorknob only for it to be locked and the inside to turn quiet. I quickly took out my keys and opened the door only to be immediately enveloped into a hug.

Cyrus's P.O.V.

When I heard the doorknob jiggle, I knew it could only be one person. I still hadn't told Jake and Vick my dorm number, so that only left Angel. I silenced Leon with a gesture of gently placing a finger on his lips, causing a small blush to spread across his face. I smiled and shook my head as I climbed over his body and off the bed to greet my dorm mate. When the door opened, my first reaction was to surprise him with a hug, so I did. I could hear his heartbeat quicken as I wrap my arms around his middle. I giggled before letting go.

"Hiya stranger," I said slyly. His face was completely red and he was staring everywhere, but my eyes.

"I- I- uh... boxes," he stuttered while rubbing the back of his neck. I gestured for him to come inside, sneaking a peek at Leon in the process. He had a look of sadness about him. I frowned and slowly walked to him again. He looked at me confused before I pounced. I began tickling the hell out of him. His laughs began to fill the room.

"Hahaha- Cy- haha- rus aa STOP!" He screamed in between laughs. Then, my phone rang.

"You're lucky this time," I said, before exiting the room. "Play nice, boys." I closed the door behind me and looked at the caller id. It was Vick, so I answered.

"Hey hot stuff." I shivered uncomfortably. "Jake wants to know if ya wanna see a movie and maybe dinner."

"Sure," I replied before remembering the boys in my room. "Do you think I can bring a couple of friends?"

"Definitely!" he exclaimed a little too loud. "Jake was gonna bring his roommate and I found a hottie in MG so I might as well bring them too."

"Aww, so you don't wanna stay with me tonight?" I playfully said seductively.

"Is that an invitation?"

"As if, I'll see you in a little." I then clicked off my phone and headed inside. Leon and Angel seemed to be getting along and playing on Leon's console he brought up with him. I took off my shirt and that got their attention.

"Get changed boys," I said, pulling off my pants in the process. "We're going out."

"Where to?" Angel asks, coming out of his trance.

"Just to the movies and dinner with my boyfriend." That last part seemed to really get to them. I sigh before placing both of my hands on either one of their cheeks.

"Boys," I start, "Cheer up. Maybe when we get back we can hangout for a little longer, yeah?" They looked at me, smiles starting to creep back on to their faces as they nodded. I smiled back. "Then, lets get ready." And with that, we all went and got change.
