Chapter Eight: adjustment

   I walked up the stairs and saw my room. There was no side because my roommate clearly doesn’t want a roommate. The room was set up like a full bedroom and it was an average punk rocker bedroom. Nelson walked in and knocked on the door. “How are you liking it?” then I asked, “ I’m going to regret asking this but who the hell lives here?” Nelson, laughed a little, her name is Izzy and she is the opposite of what you might want in a good roommate.” I told him, “ great that’s exactly what I need to deal with another bitch.” Nelson asked, “did some one give you problems?” I told him, “just forget it” I looked at her bed and noticed she used my bed to turn it into a king size.

            Well I’ll be in my room changing. I decided to pull the beds apart and push it to my end of the room. Meanwhile, all the students that live in this house were all coming in. Everyone walked up the stairs and into their rooms. Izzy entered in her’s and caught me pulling her bed. “What the hell do you think your doing?” I turned to her and as I saw her in the front door she looked mad and I was feeling nervous on the inside. “The better questions is who the hell are you?” I answered, I’m Jayden and I’m your new roommate?” Izzy walked quickly over to me and grabbed my luggage and  threw it down the stairs. “ what are you doing…what is your problem?!” I asked her. “Let’s get one thing straight here okay, I… don’t… share… and unless you don’t want me to cut you throat in your sleep I suggest you don’t try to touch my bed again!”                  

          Izzy walked out the door and into Stacy’s office. “Stacy! Izzy yelled and banged on the door as if she were going to bust the door down. Stacy opened the door, “Izzy…what is it.” Izzy looked tensed, “ There’s a girl in my room, I have a roommate?! Why didn’t anyone tell me this.” Stacy signaled her to calm down. Stacy began to whisper “ I didn’t know she was coming till this morning and at that time you guys were already in school. Her step-father came and brought her stuff here, I honestly don’t know what you want me to do.” Izzy responded, “ How about kick her ass out cus I’m not sharing.” Stacy was getting frustrated, she’s a student here just like you and she has everyright to be here! this is not your personal home it’s campus housing, what did you think was going to happen, you were going to have the entire room to yourself? Now pick up her luggage and put it back in her room now.” Izzy was amazed, “so it’s her room now.”  Izzy walks over the luggage and enters into the bathroom to get ready.

            Meanwhile, upstairs, Nelson helps Jayden with the bed and pulls them apart. “ Thanks for helping me out.” Jayden says, “anytime” Nelson says . “ and don’t take how she treats you personally she’s like that towards everyone.” I asked rictorically, “Even you…?” “you don’t know the half of it” Nelson said. I told him “I’ve never seen anyone act like that before,” He told me, “first time for everything.” It was nice have a friend like Nelson to talk to, it kept reminding me that I wasn’t alone and that despite the negative that occurs in my life there was always going to be a positive . After moving here I felt like an outcast and him having my back was like someone had my side . Stacy called everyone to come to the dining room. Everyone walked down the stairs and into the dining room and sat to eat. I went over to sit on the chair and a girl with long blonde wavy hair hair walked over to me and said, “ that’s my chair.” In a harshful tone. I looked at her and told her, “ since when in dinner time do we have assigned seats?” I asked her. She told me, “since always now get up!” I didn’t want to involve myself in a petty argument so I got up and sat in the seat across from her. Izzy walked in, involving herself in the “assigned seat battle.” What you think that you’re the new girl you can get away with everything?  This chic already took my room, and now she’s taking sussanah’s seat.”

            I turned to Izzy and told her, “ dude I didn’t plan for this can you drop it.” Izzy looked towards me and said, “your official on my shit list.” I sarcastically said to her, “wow I’m on a list now, moving here just gets better and better.” Izzy snarled at me. “ are you trying to be funny.” I told her, “if I was you would be laughing.” Izzy then sipped on her water and told me, “ why don’t you just go back to where you came from.” Jayden, spoke out and said, “ why don’t you just go back to hell.” All the students were looking at me and Izzy as the two of us kept bouncing back together. Logan the clapped and then said, “yes….jayden thank you.” I just smiled and rasied my glass and gave Izzy the death stare .
