Daren takes my hand and leads me into the bathroom.
"How did you know this was the bathroom?" I ask him. He let's out a small laugh.
"I share this dorm with Ansel" He says.
Oh well, that explains a lot.
"Why is your room this big?" I ask him. I ask so much questions, I really need to stop.

"My parents pay much to let me have this room, they told me 'if you get good marks, we'll get you a biger dorm.' So, yeah, that's the reason." I just smile. I have to get good marks too, but even tho I already told my parents that I want a different roommate, they just tell me that I have to be thankful that I can study at this university.
Darren closes the bathroom door and puts the lock on it. Okay so now I'm in a bathroom with a hot (almost) stranger, which I like a lot.
As soon as I turn around to look at him, I see he's changing his shirt.
"What in the world are you doing?" I ask him. When he's fully changed in his hoodie he looks at me.
He let's out a shaky breath.
"I was really nervous and that made me sweaty so I put on a different shirt... Sorry I should've told you before I did it" He scratches the back of his neck. He's extremely handsome like this.
"It doesn't matter" I smile.

We stare at eachother for a couple minutes. That is before he let's out an awkward weird cough. I blush and look down. What do I have to do??
I still have the sight of him changing in my head. Daren has abs, let me tell you that. Before I even realize what I'm doing I say: " You have nice abs". Damn that was just stupid.
"Uhm thanks" he say awkwardly. See, now I made him uncomfortable.
"You have a nice face..... I mean hot face, pretty face" He says "something like that" he mumbles afterwards. I giggle.
"What are you giggling about?" He asks with a slight smile on his face.
"Well you are really cute" I tell him. Again we have this stare match.
This time I break it by asking him a question.

"So tell me a bit about yourself" I ask him.
"O-oh-ohkay" He stutters.
"Uhm I'm Daren Maxwell Kagasoff, I'm 20 years old. My birthday is on september 16th. uhm, my favorite color is green? My favorite food is Pizza. My favorite season is Summer. The best movie ever is the amazing spiderman, gosh that movie is amazing. I have a dog named Kidy and I have no borthers or sisters" He tells me. No brother or sisters, that must be boring! No one to prank on or something.

"What about you?" He asks me when I don't say anything to him.
"Right. Okay my name is Shailene Diann Woodley. I'm 18 years old born on the 15th of November. Born and raised in Simi Valley. My parents only call me when it's about school. I have one brother Tanner and my favorite color is mint green" I inform him.
"Hey! You didn't tell me about your favorite movie!" He pouts. I laugh a bit.
"Okay my favorite movie is Dirty Dancing" I tell him.
"Oehhhh you like Dirty Dancing" He says in a flirtatious way.

"As in the movie Dirty Dancing, yes" I blush.
"Well, would you like to watch that movie with me sometime?" He smiles.
"Sure! Never heard a boy that wanted to watch that movie with me, so then you're the frst boy ever, that I watched dirty dancing with" I laugh.

"Really?" He asks in disbelieve. "What about you boyfriends? I mean, at least one of them had to watch it with you, right?" He asks.
"I've never had a boyfriend" I say softly.
"You didn't... you didn't have a boyfriend" he stutters.
I nod. I bet he doesn't like me anymore.
"But you had. you did have." He sighs.
"You did have sex once?" He asks with a smile. Why is he smiling?

" Well no, I'm still a virgin"I mumble and with this his smile disappears.
"Is that bad....?" I ask Daren quietly.
"What no it doesn't matter at all. Not that we are in a relationship and all but if I was in a relationship with you it wouldn't matter at all" He says. He steps closer to me so there's only 5 inches between our faces. I can feel the heat of his face coming closer. I'm scared that I'm going to mess up, what if I say stupid things?
3 inches and I'm stroking his jaw line. I like the shape of his face. It's cute but in a sexy way.
Then it happens. MY FIRST EVER KISS.

I have no idea what to do so I mimic his movements and when we're still kissing after 10 seconds, I believe that this isn't as worse as I thought. His lips move against mine like they are made for eachother.

After 10 more seconds he pulls away. He tucks a string of my hair behind my ears. I stand there, shocked.

"Are you okay?" He asks me. I can see that he's really worried, he takes his hand and puts it on my cheek.

"I didn't mean to scare you off, I mean we can be only friends if you wanna." He tells me.
"No?! No I was, it's just" I take a deep breath. "That was my first kiss actually." He doesn't laugh or does something stupid like I thought he would do. No. He kisses me again.
When I'm about to kiss back he stops.
"Should we watch Dirty Dancing then?" He asks.
Seriously, he stops kissing me for this.
"Sure" I reply flatly.
"Is something wrong? You seem mad" Daren asks. I don't know why I replied that stupid, he just kissed me!

"Sorry, uhm yeah I would like to watch Dirty Dancing with you, but there is a party going on in the main room, and we're in the bathroom...."I tell him.
"So what? Who ever told you that you can't watch movies in a bathroom?" He says while walking to where the towels are. He picks up 3 towels and under it is a laptop.
"Tadaaaaaaa"He says.
"Okay that might have been one of the smartest things ever! Why did you do that?"I ask.

"Well, I don't need people going through my expensive stuff, so I thought 'let's put my laptop here'. Never knew I was going to watch a movie on my laptop with a pretty girl I just kissed"He says. I blush. It's weird what kind of effect he has on me.
Then all of a sudden Daren sits down in his bathtub, WHAT?

"Come here."He tells me.

"Wait w-what is your plan?!" I stutter
"Just come here. You'll see"
I hop in the bathtub. So now he is sitting with the laptop held high and I'm standing so when he looks straight forward, he's looking at my butt.

"And now?" I ask him. This is very uncomfortable.
"Now sit down" He says.
I obey. Now I'm sitting with my back against his chest and with the laptop on my lap.
"I don't know if Dirty Dancing is on Netflix....." Daren trails of at the end of the sentence.
"I'll see" I tell him and go to netflix.
I go around and in seconds I found out that there is only Dirty Dancing 2 on Netflix. I'm a pro in Netflixing. I mean, that's what I do in the weekends!
"Only Dirty Dancing 2" I say.
"Well then we'll just watch dirty dancing 2. We can watch Dirty Dancing another time then" He says and kisses my cheek. I blush again. I can't believe I'm watching a movie with a guy in a bathtub. This thought makes me chuckle.
"What?" Daren also chuckles. "It's just that the thought of this makes me laugh, I don't really know why" When I said 'this' I moved my hands around so that he knew that I meant us, sitting in a bathtub.
"These moments makes me love life" he sighs.
"You always have to love life Daren." I say. He sighs again. "What really scares me is that I'm average. I'm not really good at anything or really handsome. I'm going to live an average life with an average job an average income and die an average death with an average funeral and nobody is going to remember me." He says.
"Van Gogh thought that too" I tell him. That was the first thing that came into my mind and it was probably also the best thing to say. I can see a smile creep on his face.

"That was so appropriate and needed, thank you" He tells me. "I just want to love life a bit more sometimes, actually always."
"Well, my philosophy is: it's none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am and do what I do. I expect notthing and accept everything. It makes life so much easier." I say. And it's true, it makes life easier to think like that.
"Thank you shai" Daren says.
"No problem" I turn around a bit so I'm facing Daren. I take his face in my hands and kiss him.
"Oh and you're handsome to me plus you're good at kissing" I mumble against his lips. I feel him smile againt my lips.
This might've been the best day of my life.
