Room 782

My eyes widen in shock, there must be a mistake. I can’t be rooming with a guy can I? Leaving my bags behind I march up to the counter to say “I’m Alyssa Taylor, and why am I rooming with a guy?” The woman goes right back to twitter but says emotionlessly “It’s policy, don’t ask me, I don’t understand either.” Anger turns to fury as I see him eying me up like I’m the next victim on his list.

Stomping back to my stuff I glide down the long narrow halls. Doors pass me by quickly, 779,780, 781, and 782 finally. I pull the cold metal key out to unlock the heavy wooden door in front of me. The door struggles to open but inside was a small room with two small beds and a bathroom. How am I supposed to live her for the next year?!  Throwing my stuff on the bed closest to the window I open my duffle bag to get out my makeup and put it in the bathroom. In the mirror I notice the door creeping open. I pivot just in time to see Josh enter the room.

He smirks seeing my stuff already sprawled all over my bed. The bed squeaks as he drops his suitcases on it.

"Looks like we're going to be using your bed tonight." He chuckles to himself. I can feel myself wanting to punch him more and more everytime he talks.

I wrap around the corner, glare at him and say "If you even come near my bed tonight, you won't wake up in the morning."I hear him laugh again as I strole past him to sit on my bed.

"Oh fiesty I see, I like that in a woman." This man, or should I say boy, is making me sick.

"In your dreams." I retort getting up to start unpacking my clothes.

I hear him answer under his breath "Yeah you're right. You will be in my dreams. Naked."

I clench my fists and turn slowly to face him. "What did you just say?" I coldly whisper.

As he turns around his smile reaches ear to ear and I stop for a moment to realize he really does look good with the sunlight hitting his bright green eyes. Making them shine brighter than anything I have ever seen in my life.

What is this?

Am I falling for him? 

I can't.
