Room 210

Room 210 Chapter two

When I was finally able to control myself, Dad and I walked the rest of the way to my room together. I was glad he came back. I probably wouldn’t have made it to my room on my own .

“You okay now, Nikky?” Dad asked for the tenth time in ten minutes.

 “Yeah, Dad. I’m fine” I hit him with a bright smile.

  “Alright, baby. I need to get back to the car.”

 “Yeah, Dad. I know. I love you.”

 He pulled me into his chest and said, “I love you too, Kiddo.”

He held onto my hand as he walked away and slowly slid his hand out of mine. I stood in the hallway until he turned the corner.

 I sighed and turned to unlock my room for the first time.

 “Home sweet home.” I mumbled, glancing around the room.

 I walked over to what seemed like the unoccupied bed and dropped my stuff on it.

 “Shit!” A voice came from the bed behind me.

 I turned on the spot to find a girl sleeping in that. A mostly naked girl.

 “Who the fuck are you?” She glared at me.

 Um, okay. Rude much. “I’m Veronica. I’m sorry I woke you up.”

 “Right. I don’t need to know you. We’re not going to be friends,” She sat up and stretched, “My friend just let me crash in his bed for a while.”

 “Oh. Okay,” I was progressively deciding I wasn’t going to like this girl. “Do you have a name?”

 “Yeah.” Was all she said.

 “O...Kay then.” I started pulling things out of my bag.

 “Why are you here?” She asked, standing.

 Averting my eyes, I answered, “This is my room. Or at least the room I was assigned.”

 “Right,” She walked over to the closet on her side of the room and pulled out a large men’s t-shirt. “And I’m the queen of England.”

 “What do you mean?”

 “They put someone like you,” She waved her hand at me, “with the hottest guy on campus?”

 “Wait, this isn’t your room?”

 She scoffed, “No. Why? Didn’t you know that the dorms were co-ed?”

 “Yeah, but I thought it meant, like, the guys shared rooms, like across the hall or something, not that we were all combined.”

 “How old are you?” She pushed her hip out and crossed her arms.

 “I’ll be eighteen in two months.”

 She threw her hands up, “You’re a child! Good lord, they put a child in the same room as the hottest guy in school!” She stomped angrily around the room gathering what seemed to be her own clothes. “What’s next? They put me in the same room as Keven Caykson? Oh, hell no. Fuck this. I’m out.”

 And with that she slammed the door behind her. 

“That was among the strangest things that have ever happened to me.” I shook my head and sat down on my bed. Something crunched under me so I pulled back the blanket and found an envelope, addressed to “Future Roommate”.

Dear future roommate,

Hey! How’s it going? I guess I’m not there right now. Not sure when I’m going to be back so I’ve left you this note.

My name is the pencil was blurred here. I hope you’re okay with that. Lol. That sounded rude.

I think I’m a nice guy. I like peanut butter and Nutella sandwiches with root beer and iced coffee, I like sports, particularly football and soccer, my favorite movie is Harry Freaking Potter (WOOOO!) and I like to read mystery/romance books.

 Good lord that was personal. Thanks future roommate. You’re pretty cool, you know.

See you whenever I get back!

The signature was illegible.

Ps. The girl staying in my bed is Rebekkah. If she bitches at you, bitch back. This is where you live. Just don’t kick her out. She doesn’t have anywhere to go.

PPs. I do laundry on Fridays. I hope that works with whatever schedules you have planned.

PPPs. Was that last thing rude? I felt like it might be rude. Don’t take it too badly 

PPPPs. Did you know that Ps is “Postscript”? I learned that recently.

PPPPPs. Sorry about this entire postscript thing. But I keep thinking of things I want to tell you

PPPPPPs. Last thing, I promise. If I’m not there on Friday to do laundry, no worries about my stuff. I got this, bro!

PPPPPPPs. Last one for real. Sorry about this. All the postscript.

PPPPPPPPs. Have a great day and welcome to room 210!
