I'll Never Let You Go

Chapter

Cassie's POV

After one or two hours, I heard the door open and I turned around to see my roommate. She had blond straight hair and she had light brown eyes. She looked about 5'6 and she was wearing a black hoodie with a pink stripe in the middle, some ripped jeans, and black and white platform shoes. I noticed that she had pointy, short nails. They were pink. Mine was longer and purple. She had 3 necklaces on and they were sun, moon, and stars. Her bracelet was also the moon. She had on several rings and I loved her style. She smiled and waved.

"Hi my name is Claire," she said, cheerfully.

"Oh, hi! My name is Cassandra, but you can call me Cassie." I told her, "how long have you been here?"

"Since yesterday, how about you?" she answered.

"Just a couple of hours ago," I replied.

"Ok, so do you want to go eat lunch with me?" she asked, kindly.

"Sure! why not," I said.

"There is a restaurant right at the corner, let's go there," she said.

"Ok let's go," I said.

We both walked downstairs and went to the restaurant in comfortable silence, then we got inside. We sat down and I ordered Italian pasta and Claire ordered a cheeseburger. When the waiter went back to the kitchen, Claire started talking.

"Where are you from?" she asked.

"I am from Washington D.C," I told her.

"Really? That's so cool!"

"What about you? Where are you from?" I asked, smiling.

"I'm from New York," she answered.

We continued talking and I then discovered that she is an alto (her singing voice was low) and wished that she could have a higher voice, which meant that she was jokingly jealous when I told her that I was a soprano. I told her about my family and my sister and she told me that she was a fan of her clothing designs. I told her about me, what I like, and how my family wasn't very supportive of my decision.

We talked about what we liked and about music. We also talked about her family and she told me that her sister is in middle school and that her family is in New York. I was happy that we got along easily. We went back to our dorm and we sat down on each other's bed. After a while, Claire broke the silence.

"So what is your social life like, do you have a lot of friends, a boyfriend maybe?" she said with a laugh. I laughed with her too.

"Um . . . I have very few friends and no I don't have a boyfriend, what about you?" I said.

"I also have few friends, but I do have a boyfriend," she said with a smile and I knew she was thinking of him.

"Oh, ok! How nice! And what is he like?" I asked.

"Well, he is very kind to me and I like him," she answered, cheerfully.

"That's so good! And is he your first boyfriend, or have you had more before him?" I asked curiously.

"I have had two and you?" she said, holding up two of her fingers.

"I haven't had any, so . . . " I told her with a sad smile.

"Oh well, you are really pretty. I'm sure you are going to find one here. Don't worry about it." she said with a soft smile.

"Anyway, so what is your boyfriend's name?" I asked

"His name is Ethan, and speaking about him he and I are going to go eat dinner together, but I don't want to leave you alone, you could come with us if you want." She suggested.

"Don't worry about it, go hang out with your man. I'm going to eat here in the cafeteria. Besides, I would feel like a third-wheeler." I told her.

"You sure? You can meet him when we eat dinner," she said.

"I can meet him when he comes here and then you two go and eat, don't worry about me," I told her.

"Ok, but if you need anything, call me. Here, give me your phone. Let's exchange numbers." she said.

"Ok," I said.

We exchanged phone numbers. In the meantime, we watched a movie but then Claire had to go get ready so I stayed watching the movie by myself until I was interrupted by a knock on the door. Claire was in the bathroom doing some finishing touches on her makeup, so I answered the door. When I opened it, I saw a guy with blonde hair and blue eyes who looked like 6'1.

"So, I guess you are Ethan right?" I asked with a smile.

"Yeah, you are Claire's roommate right?" he asked

"Yeah, my name is Cassandra but you can call me Cassie. Come in Claire is finishing getting ready" I answered.

I let him in and then closed the door, Ethan sat on Claire's bed and I sat on mine. We waited in awkward silence.

"So since when do you know Claire?" I asked.

"Well since high school, Claire was the new girl, and yeah" he answered

"Oh ok," I nodded.

A couple of minutes later Claire finally got out of the bathroom.

"Oh, Ethan you're already here! Oh, so you guys have already met, right?" She said

"Yeah," Ethan and I said at the same time.

"So I guess we gotta get going," Ethan said while standing up.

"Yeah, Cassie, are you sure you don't want to come with us?" Claire said with a smile.

"No, don't worry I'm going down to the cafeteria so have fun you two!" I said with a soft smile.

"Ok, but if you need anything call me," Claire asked.

"Yeah sure. Bye!" I said.

"Ok bye." Claire and Ethan said,

I closed the door. When they were gone I let out a sigh, I was happy that Claire had a boyfriend to have fun with but I just wish that I had one too so I wouldn't be alone at times but anyway there is no time to mourn about this. I shook my head and then I went to my desk to grab the dorm key and my phone.

Afterward, I went outside and locked the door. I went to the elevator and I went straight to the cafeteria. I ordered cheese fingers and coke, while I ate I saw my phone. When I was done I started walking toward the elevator while looking at my phone. Then suddenly I bumped into someone.
