Theo walks into the dormitory with the worst headache of his life. He's dreamed of this college ever since he could crawl and now that he's here he's never felt more nervous. He reads the slip of paper in his pocket over and over again, memorizing his dorm number until his eyes can no longer read. He walks around the seemingly quiet halls and quickly realizes he may be earlier than most for orientation. This thought relaxes him, and as he approaches his dorm room door he begins to hear voices from inside.

"We are supposed to have a third roommate right?"

"I think so, there's three beds."

"But we're the only ones here."

"We're also early though so I doubt he'll show up for a couple of minutes"

      Theo tenses up at the thought of already meeting new people, but decides not to let it overtake him and just get it over with as he is going to be rooming with these people for quite a while.

He opens the door to see two men staring back at him. One of them is a tall man, with long black dreads. The other shorter with long fluffy hair that goes down past his shoulders with bangs that fall over his eyes.

"Hey, I'm supposed to be rooming here, I'm Theo by the way." Theo says nervously

"Hi Theo, I'm Rome," The taller man says "This is Ethan."

Ethan waves at Theo with a big grin on his face. Even though Theo just met these two he already feels comfortable, as if they've known each other for hundreds of years. He examines the dorm room and takes it all in, it's quite spacey for a college dorm but it is a high rated college so it was expected. The room is arranged perfectly due to its wideness. The beds all three sit up against the wall with small dressers between them. Then there is a long desk along the right wall with three chairs and dividers. The desk has built in shelves in each division for each person. Then in the front of the room there is a TV stand with a decently sized TV on top. Then the most shocking part was on the left side of the room there was a smaller room with a toilet and shower. Theo knew the college he was at was very pricey and was very thankful for his scholarship but he never expected decent dorms.

Rome sees Theo's eyes and can tell he is shocked.
"I know right, it's a big room and it has a bathroom!" Rome exclaims

"I'm just glad it has room for my crystals" Ethan says as he points to his dresser. Atop the dresser is an assortment of colorful crystals and a set of tarot cards. Theo's eyes light up as he begins to realize he's rooming with another person who's into Witchcraft. Around that time Theo also notices Romes dresser has an altar cloth on it, with a statue of Aphrodite and an assortment of pink and gold items.

"I hope you don't think we're weird or your some sort of super religious person" Rome says, hoping he isn't going to have to ask for a room change.

"Oh no I'm also into witchcraft, it's actually really great that I'm rooming with you two because I didn't want to have to hide my stuff."

After they all breath a sigh of relief Theo puts his box on his bed and begins to unpack. Ethan and Rome help him and set up the stuff for his section of the desk, while Theo unpacks his clothes and witchy tools to put on and in his dresser. After they are done they all decide to skip orientation as it wasn't required and go to have an early lunch at a nearby cafe to get to know each other better.
