That Not So Average College Love Story

Part One: Autumn, Chapter Two

"Liannaaaaaaaa" Marce whines over the phone, she was already in her house waiting for her significant other to get home from its job.

"Yes?" Lianna herself was trying to pin up some new photos on the wall of her apartment, she was still waiting till her new roommates would move in since she put a listing up on whatever website it was to find roommates, she even forgot what it was called.

"I'm bored."

"Figured, pull up the white board, I got a few ideas for a new mini story."

"For the fifty k word contest in November?"

"Yep." Marce does as instructed, going up to her office in her house that had a massive white board.

"But it's only August, why are you doing this so early?"

"So I can get at least twenty thousand in now and then--" A knock on the door stops her from doing anything else. "Hold on, Marcy, I'll be right back."

She gets off her bed with a thump, still happy that it wasn't like one of those apartments that went into the sky and was competing with skyscrapers since the university that she's going to is somewhat on the outskirts of the city. Heading over to the door she passes a mirror, stopping in front of it she looks at herself, making sure she looks acceptable before another knock at the door makes her jump.

"Coming!" Finally she speedwalks over to the door, opening the door with a small smile to reveal the familiar faces that she had only seen a month prior. "Colt?"

"Hey Lia, nice to see you again."

"What are you two doing here, and how did you find where I live?"

Colton hums, a devilish grin on his face, "How do we say this... we're your roommates for the semester." Lianna stands there, stunned.

What. The. Fuck.

She inhales before exhaling, taking a step back before looking at the two of them again. "You two, Colton and Tobias, are going to be mine, Lianna's, roommates for the entirety of the fall semester?" The two nod, however Tobais looks more on edge than usual, more than what Lianna would consider on edge.

"Yep, so, come here roomie." The shorter boy extends his arms, physically asking for a hug, while the girl takes a step forward to accept the hug before hesitating.

"Never call me that again." She states before fully accepting the hug, making herself taller by standing on her toes she puts her chin on his shoulder, getting what seemed like a glare from the taller boy behind him but when she slightly looked up it was aimed at the back of the other's head which made her a lot more confused.

"Alright, alright," Colton disembarks from the hug, putting his hands up with that goofy smile he always has, "I won't bring it up again." Lianna steps away from the English major, letting them inside with their suitcases bumping on the wooden tile behind their footsteps.

"I'll show you around." She starts off by making their suitcases stay in the living room. As they walk into each of the rooms, Lianna remembers that she forgot to end the call with Marce.

"Lia you seem on edge, are you alright?" The girl turns to hear the voice of her friend, a nervous smile on her face as she begins to fidget with her fingernails.

"Yeah I'm totally fine, I just remembered something, excuse me for a moment... MARCY!" The girl dashes off to her room, hearing the yell of her best friend through her phone.

Marce chuckles as she was left in silence for ten whole minutes while hearing the psych major's whole conversation with what seemed to be two other people that she knew downstairs since they were quite loud.
