This boy next to my room

9

June

I don't know why I accepted but I did.

Now, here I am silently climbing the stairs to the third floor without getting caught by a policeman.

Room 308... The one at the end of the corridor. I walk to it. The corridor is drowned in a dead silence, I could even believe that there is nobody in this dormitory. Once arrived in front of it, I knock before entering inside. I am surprised to see the sudden change of atmosphere.

There must be at least twenty people there, all having fun and drinking. I don't even know where they got the bottles of vodka and the cigarette packs. There is also some music but it is not loud. I look around for Kat and finally find her in the lap of a boy I don't know. Yeah, I probably should have stayed in my dorm.

A few glances come my way as I sit on the bed, including the boy who annoys me the most; Connor. He is flanked against the wall with a girl looking at me so strangely that I want to laugh.

He gets out of my sight pretty quickly when a boy stops in front of me. I look up; it's the dark-haired, hazel-eyed boy who had interrupted me with the girl when I was fighting with Connor ; He smiles at me before sitting down next to me.

"Hey new girl, we didn't get a chance to get to know each other." He says.

"Indeed." I nod with a sigh.

"I'm Tyler, the most handsome and single one in the group. You don't have to tell me your first name, I already know it. Don't ask me how."

I give him a questioning look as he looks at me flirtatiously which doesn't fail to make me laugh. Ok, I admit that he is funny.

"I really like your laugh, my beauty. I also really like your green eyes" he continues.

"Ok stop Tyler.. I say with a laugh. That's not the way you're going to get me to fall for your charm." I say holding back tears of laughter.

He puts on a false look of annoyance. He reminds me of Jacob after all.

"Mhh I see.. So maybe if you agree to play truth or dare with me I can get you to fall for me?"

He is very strong.

"Well... Maybe."

                                       ...

Tyler gathers some of the people in the room, including Connor and Kat to play truth or dare. We all sit in a circle in the middle of the room.

"I'm starting!" Says the girl who was with Connor when I arrived in the room and now sits next to him with her hand vulgarly resting on his thigh.

"Okay Cynthia, go ahead." Says someone.

The so-called "Cynthia" sweeps the room with her gaze until her dark eyes meet mine. She stays locked on me and a mischievous smile appears on her plump lips. I already know she's going to ask me the question.

"Truth or Dare the Grinch?" She spits out after several seconds of silence.

I frown, did she just call me the grinch? Who does she think she is?

"I'm just kidding relax, your eyes are beautiful."

I don't know what the hype's about my eye color. Ever since I got here, they all mention it, either with nicknames like "the green-eyed bitch" or with flirty phrases like Tyler gave me right before these.

So what if they're green?

"Truth." I replied, murdering her with my eyes.

She pretends to think before she exclaims:

"Okay, why are you here ?"
