"Been a Long Time"

Chapter 4: Spring Playoffs Part 1

After getting Yao Tong settled in, I tried to go to Cheng's room, but I had no idea what room he had.

'Mr. Wall of Stone'

Annoyance: Hey, what's your room number?

Mr. Wall of Stone: Room 134 on floor 23.

Annoyance: Thanks

(A/n: I just had a devious idea and I don't care if it's timeline-correct or not, I'm doing it. Anyway, back to the story!)

i closed my phone, heading for the elevator because there was no way I was going to take the stairs. I would have to be insane and I'm pretty sure I'm not that crazy yet... close, but not yet. I boarded the elevator with a guy that looked vaguely familiar. I'm pretty sure I've seen him at some point, but I don't know where. He had brown, swept back hair framing a soft, kind face. He was insanely tall, taller than Cheng by a few inches. Cheng was not short. He looked at me for a few seconds before looking toward the control panel. He picked his floor then stood at the back of the elevator. I picked my floor then stood on the left wall. We stopped once, giving the guy time to step off, then I continued on alone. 

That was strange. I know him from somewhere, but I forgot where. He was definitely significant at that time, but I've forgotten that important fact. Oh, well. I'll figure it out later. I stepped off on my floor then started looking for Cheng's room. I found it soon after. I knocked on the door then waited for Cheng to open the door.

I waited for a good five minutes before I finally resorted to texting the twat.

'Mr. Wall of Stone'

Annoyance: Where are you?! I'm standing outside your door!

Mr. Wall of Stone: I'm not opening that door until you apologize for the comments in the elevator earlier and I feel you are payed back enough for your actions. Karma, big sister!

Annoyance: AUGH! Well, I'm not apologizing. Everything I said was true. 😌

Mr. Wall of Stone: Well, I guess you are sleeping outside for the night! Goodnight, Y/n.

Annoyance: No! I'm sorry!! I apologize! I don't wanna sleep out here!

Annoyance: Hey! I said sorryyyyyyy!!!!!

Annoyance: Heyyyyyyyy! C'mon! Open the door!

Mr. Wall of Stone: Fine.

Annoyance: Yay!!!

Cheng finally opened the door, smirking at me. I slapped his shoulder and walked in, giving him no chance to shut me out again.

"That was mean," I said, pouting. His smirk got even bigger.

"You're welcome," he said. "Your bed's over there. Try not to make too much of a racket. Goodnight." He flopped into his bed, rolling under the blankets and shutting his eyes, completely ignoring me.

Well then. I rolled my eyes. I looked around the room for something to sleep in. I spotted Cheng's suitcase in the corner. "Cheng, I'm stealing some of your clothes." He grunted in reply. I opened the suitcase and selected a suitable pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt.

After changing, I flopped into bed and soon, thankfully, fell asleep.

.....................

I woke up the next morning at an alarming time. 5:00. Great. What do I do for the next two hours? I could go get my suitcase since I forgot it in the car last night, I could play games, spam my best friend, read, scroll through the internet, walk down to see if they have the breakfast cafeteria set up yet, or watch some tv... this is a hard decision. Do I be productive and get things done or be a general nuisance?
