Whispers in the Dorm

|III. What a pleasant Coincidence |

Nora's pov:

After we entered it left a moment of silence. There were still a few hours until the train reached its destination and I wasn't going to sit quietly until then.
<<So...are you going to college...? >>
<<Yes, police and forensics college, you? >>
<<Same as you, I've always wanted to be a cop >>
<<I'm more on the research side than on the field side... And what year are you? >>
<<First year, you? >>
<<Same. >>
<<Cool. >>
After that it was quiet again, I really want to get to know her better, she seems like a super nice person but I don't have any other conversation ideas and I don't want to be annoying so I'll wait to see if she will say anything else.
<<What do you like to do in your spare time? >

I was still in my world and I was surprised by her question a little, I didn't expect her to say something to me although I hoped so.
<< I like to do sports, karate to be precise and any other outdoor activity, I don't like to stay home too much. What about you? >>

<<I like to hang out with my friends, umm I like to play guitar and I love hiking.>>

<<Nice, I like hiking too! >>

<<Cool, maybe we go once after classes, if you want of course. >>

<<Yes, sure, >>
I'm not really sure what I'm going to say, but better sooner rather than later.
<<So, um... Are you staying in dorms or have you found an apartment? >>

Skyler's pov:

Who knows, maybe, if I tell her that I don't have an apartment, maybe and maybe I have the luck for her to say : *hey, I'm looking for roommate, would you want to stay with me?*. I doubt it though, but in the end what do I have to lose by telling him, plus I really want to continue the conversation.

<<Actually, to be honest, I haven't found any apartments yet, and the places in the dorms are occupied, so I'm looking for a roommate... I'm actually looking for roommate looking for roommate if that makes sense. >>

<< Well I'm also looking for roommate, maybe it's kind of weird because we don't really know each other but, would you want to be my roommate? >>
I can't believe what I just heard!

<<Yes, I would really like it and on this occasion we will be able to get to know each other, isn't that so roommate? >>
She smiled a bit and nodded. I can tell you all honesty that her smile made my heart stop a bit, the whole façade of the evil and mysterious face (cliché) disappeared the moment she smiled.
We talked to get to know each other better and didn't even realize we had to get off the train. I could still talk to her for hours and not be bored.
When we arrived at the apartment, she helped me with my luggage and unpacking. She is much stronger than me and what I struggled to do she did without problems. While I stood and admired her from a distance because I couldn't look at anything but her.
After we each put our stuff in the closet and everything else in place, we realized it was one big two-person bed.
What a pleasant coincidence.
