HIS OBSESSION (PART 1)

First day

Hale's POV

"I'll live alright. You guys can leave already." I gave my mom a tight-lipped smile.

She was the best and I'm going to miss her but I wanted them to go already so I can start my ride to Freedom.

"Okay, baby we'll leave." my mom let out with her hands up. I smiled a grateful smile

Once I was settled in my room I put my headphones on and listened to dandelions. My roommate I think is out because when I got to the room the other side was occupied.

She embellished her side of the room with green and white. It wasn't so poor. I'd embellish mine later but with purple.

I heard the door unlock meaning that my roommate had shown her keycard giving her access to the room.

I looked up to see a short pretty lady dressed in green cargo pants with a white top and a gentle smile on her face.

I reciprocated her smile with a little wave. I was dying to know who my roommate was. I sat up straight on the bed and introduced myself

"I'm Hale Paterson, a freshman, from California and offering Marketing B.S.B.A" I was hesitant as to whether I give her my hand to shake like how it's done when you're introducing yourself. So thinking about how stupid it was I was returning my hand beside me when she caught it

"I'm Martha Stewart, a freshman, from Ottawa and offering women's and gender studies."

"Women in stem B.S." Isn't that lovely? She asked laughing

I guess it is. I smiled broadly

She walked to her bed and lay down on her bed

Turning to me she spoke," We have two days before orientation. Why don't we go on a fun tour?"

"That's a terrific idea Mat." My eyes widened at what I said.

"Mat," she repeated the name to herself

"I love it." she declared and I gave a shy smile

"Hey, why don't you choose a movie while I order us some burgers with soda?" she pointed at her mac book.

I climbed unto her bed and scrolled through her Netflix. I found it. Hypnotic.

"What did you decide on?" she asked

"Hypnotic."

There was a knock on the door. She shuffled towards the door

Martha yawned, smiling cheekily. The movie had ended. The time was just half past 7 which wasn't late.

"We haven't exchanged numbers," Martha said shocked as if she had just discovered something

I put my number in her phone while she did the same thing on mine.

We spoke about random kinds of stuff.

The instant I finished telling her the story of how I embarrassed myself in front of my crush, she was dying of laughter." I laughed with her

"I love the way your nose is shaped. " she asserted

"Thanks. "

"Tomorrow before we go on our tour could you help me do up my side of the room?" I appealed to her

"Sure. What colours are you thinking of."

"Purple and black?" I inquired not so sure if it was a nice combination

"that's a nice colour combination. "

I checked the time and it was 9 o'clock. Time run so fast we didn't even notice
