"Hey, Sam you need to go to the dean's office right now," A teacher in the hallway tells me.

"Um, okay," I reply.

I've been having a great day and now I'm probably in trouble. I wonder what I did now.

I walk over to the building with all the bigger people like counselors or directors for sports and go to Mr. Donavan's office. I knock on the door, swaying back and forth as I wait for him to answer.

"Come in!" He yells from inside of the room.

"Hello, sir," I greet him, but I soon notice another girl in the room who is sitting in one of the chairs in front of his desk.

"Please sit,"

I sit down in the chair next to the girl. I chose not to look at her since that would be a little awkward since I don't know her.

"Sam, this will be your new roommate," he points to the girl next to me. "Her name is Charlotte."

"Nice to meet you." I shake her hand, flashing her a smile.

"I'll let you show her your dorm and she can move her stuff in." Mr. Donavan opens the door of his office to let us out.

"How long have you been here?" She asks me as I lead her to our dorm building.

"Almost six years I think,"

"Wow,"

"Yeah," I awkwardly nod my head before opening the door to the girls dorm building and letting her in before following behind her.

"279," I tell her as she walks down the hall of the girls rooms.

We get to the dorm room and she sets her suitcase down by the door.

"I didn't get a heads up about this so sorry about the mess," I apologize.

"It's fine, I can help if you want."

"No no it's fine, it's my stuff I can clean it up,"

"Okay. I'm gonna go get the rest of my stuff, I'll be right back,"

Once she leaves I start to gather the things on the-now her part of the room and throw them on my bed to make her side look cleaner. I'm not sure when she's gonna get a bed or how she's gonna sleep but I guess we'll figure that out later.

After I get everything onto my bed, I start putting clothes in drawers and throwing empty water bottles in the garbage. I think I may have more empty water bottles in my room than clothes.

Charlotte comes back with some boxes in her arms. She sets them down on her side of the room.

"That futon pulls out into a bed so you can sleep there tonight if you want." I suggest.

"Oh okay thank you," she smiles at me, tucking a strand of blonde hair behind her ear.

I've just noticed her short blonde hair, a little dark at the roots so she must've dyed it. She also has light green eyes that are very bright because of the sun peaking through the windows. She's very tall, maybe my height and she has sun kissed skin, opposite of my pale skin.

"Do you need any help? I think I'm gonna go get something eat,"

This may seem rude and I'll probably regret this decision later because I'll be embarrassed about my choice, but I didn't feel like staying. I get shy around new people, especially girls because they make me feel self conscious and I start feeling awkward. So my solution to this is leaving, how nice of me.

"No I'm fine, I think I'm just gonna watch a movie or somethin',"

"Okay, I'll see you in an hour or so," I smile at her before closing the door to our dorm and leaving the main building.

On my way over to Luke's dorm I picked up some food for the both of us. I can't wait to tell him about my new roommate.

When I knock on the door, Luke immediately answers and pulls me into a hug. I hug him back right away, melting into his arms.

"What's wrong babe?" I ask once he lets go and lets me in the dorm.

"It's just been a long day," he sighs, flopping down on his bed.

"Me too," I sigh as well and sit down next to him. "But I brought you food and we can talk about it."

He grabs the bag and takes out his food, setting it on the coffee table by his futon.

"So what went on in your day?" He asks first, biting into his burger.

"I got a roommate,"

"Really?"

"Mhm,"

"Who is it?"

"She's new I guess. Her name is Charlotte," I tell him.

"Oh," he purses his lips.

"What?"

"Wait-do you know her last name?"

"I think it's like Matthews.." I furrow my eyebrows trying to remember.

"Oh no,"

"What?"

"I used to-um date a Charlotte Matthews,"
