I started digging through my bag trying to find my stupid keys. "Where the hell are they" I whispered to myself, but apparently someone heard me. "Where the hell is what?" I turned around quickly and blushed from embarrassment.

 I've seen this girl before she was pretty short kinda like me, and she had really long light purple hair that almost went down below her knees. "O-oh I um was looking for my keys hehe" I stuttered 'OH MY GOSH that was so bad' "you mean the keys in your pocket?"  Shoot. I moved my hand down to my pocket without breaking eye contact, and I felt... MY KEYS UGH IM SO STUPID. Now I am standing next to this short girl super embarrassed because I'm stupid.

"Oh shoot! Heh my bad I uh didn't know they were in there" I was still pretty awkward around people I have been since well second grade. I didn't  realize I was staring at her until she made a grunting noise and started walking away. Shit.

 'I've been in college for almost 2 months and I still haven't had a proper interaction with my roommate (kinda). You probably think it's not that bad but it really is it's kinda to the point where I didn't even ask for her name. I mean I know her name but I didn't ask for it. She probably doesn't know mine anyway.'

Now that I've talked to at least one person this month maybe I can get some peace. I opened the door to room and saw my roommate, lapis. She was really pretty, but I have no chance with her plus she has a girlfriend. Lapis was sitting on her bed with her face in her pillow. When I came in her head lifted towards me and I saw the stained tears on her face. She was startled at first but she sighed a relieved sigh when she noticed it was just me, strange. As soon as she realized I was looking at her she quickly turned away and wiped her tears. 

"Were you crying?" That was a dumb question OF COURSE SHE WAS CRYING. "Uh... no!" She said in a defensive way. In startled me at first when she got so defensive over something so obvious, I mean why would you lie if it was clear that you were lying? "Oh so the wet stain on your shirt and pillow is from water then." I stated sarcastically. Her face that was once defensive was slowly turning into more of a hurt expression. I looked at her a little confused as the hurt expression turned back into crying. Wait, WHAT! Lapis was balling her eyes out at this point I didn't know what was wrong, or what to do about this, so I did the only thing I could think of. I froze.

I stood there watching her cry for what felt like hours (it was 20 seconds) until I finally realized that I should probably do something. I dropped my bag onto the floor and ran up to her bed. 'Oh gosh this is going to  be awkward'. I climbed up on it and just sat next to her. What I am supposed to do I'm not good at this stuff I have no friends who I could've practiced on. Nothing like this ever happens in the cartoons I watch. I did the only thing I would think of. I HUGGED HER oh my gosh I can't believe I just did that!  I sat there hugging lapis lazuli. After a while she still hadn't hugged back and I was starting to panic. 'Oh gosh what if she doesn't like this, what if she hates me I mean we haven't really talked before and now I'm hugging her like she's my best friend, oh jeez I'm such a-' my thought train was cut off by soft hands rapping around me.

I felt her soft blue hair touch my face as she buried her face on my shoulder. I could feel my shirt getting damp from her tears, but I didn't care right now all that matters is that lapis stops crying. I has so many thoughts right now, I have been totally crushing on lapis for years but I've never talked to her I mean she has a GIRLFRIEND so I really shouldn't like her, but I do anyway. I can't help it she's just so gorgeous her blue hair, her blue eyes, what's not to love about her, but that's not important. I for some reason really want to know why she was crying, I mean I shouldn't really care but I do. I planned to ask her when she calmed down a little.

I sat there hugging lapis for maybe 20 mins before I was cut from my train of thought by a sniffing from lapis. She wasn't crying anymore but she was shaking violently so I just sat there with her in my arms and waited.

Eventually she did stop shaking so I was getting ready to ask her what's wrong when u heard soft snores coming from her. Oh wow she's so cute- wait, LAPIS IS ASLEEP IN MY ARMS! I almost gasped but I shut my self up so I wouldn't wake her. Oh my gosh LAPIS IS SLEEPING IN MY ARMS! THE LAPIS, THE LAPIS THAT THE WHOLE SCHOOL KNOWS TO BE THE POPULAR JERK WITH JERKY FRIENDS AND A JERKY GIRLFRIEND. 

I can't believe this, I mean I've never been bullied by lapis, actually I've never even seen her bully anyone, but she hangs out with people who do bully me, that is part of the reason I haven't really talked to her, but now she's sleeping on me. She seems so broken, I still don't know why she was crying but I hope it wasn't something too bad because she doesn't deserve any reason to cry. She's so fragile in my arms, I feel as if the slightest movement could wake her. I've never seen her so weak before she always looks intimidating well kinda, not when her friends are bulling me. I wonder if she feels bad. All these thoughts were just so much I mean I just got back from a long day of classes and now I'm- I feel asleep.

AN/ here is the first chapter of "wait,WHAT!" I hope you like this (not that many people will see this cuz nobody reads lapidot anymore 😢) but I do plan on finishing this.
