This is it.
I'm here.
Oh my god. I'm actually here.
Harvard.
After four years of studying to make sure I followed my mother's tracks in getting into Harvard University, I finally did it. From here on out, I'm living by myself... Well, not entirely by myself, I'll have a room mate. I just hope that it's Marissa, my bestfriend, but it's usually by some type of order, probably alphabetically. But only time will tell.
I'm going to graduate at the top of my class and move on to become a lawyer. I can do this. I can do this.
"Hello?" A voice asks, snapping me out of my daydream.
"Uh... No."
"So you're not Jamie Melone?" A lady at the desk asks.
"Right.. No wait! I am! That's me, Jamie Malone!" I exclaim.
"Alright.." The lady says suspiciously. "You're in room 108." She says, handing me a key to my soon-to-be home.
"Thanks." I smile, I turn around to leave, but something stops me and I turn back on the heels of my feet to face her. "Do you by any chance know who my room mate is?" I ask.
"I do." She smiles, flicking through her big ass book. "It is.... Troye Mellet." She says with a smile.
"Okay, thanks." I smile. "Wait!" I exclaim. "Troye Mellet?" I ask.
"That's what I said."
"But.. That's a guys name.." I say awkwardly.
"Yes..?"
"Aren't I meant to be roomed with a girl?"
"Usually that's the case, but every once in a while there will be an exception."
"Oh.." I say awkwardly.
"Sweetheart, if it's a really big problem, you can go ask your dorm representative and ask for a room change." She explains.
"Really? I'll give it a shot first. But thanks for telling me." I smile.
"No problem." She smiles back. I walk away like a lost puppy as I look for room 108.
"108... 108... 108!" I exclaim as I spot the room. I enter it happily. I drop my bags on the couch and rub my sore shoulders.
"Aaaah!" I hear a guy scream.
"Aaaah!" I scream back in shock as I see a guy standing there wearing nothing but a towel.
"Who the hell are you!?" The guy screams.
"Jamie Melone!" I shout back.
"Why are you screaming at me!?" He yells back.
"Because you're yelling too!" I yell back. His face calms down.
"My bad.." He smirks. "You're Jamie Melone?" He asks.
"Yep."
"But... You're... A girl.."
"I am?" I reply sarcastically. "I've been living a lie!" I gasp fakely.
"Alright, alright, I get it." He says. "it's just... I thought you'd be a guy."
"Well, sorry to be such a disappointment to you."
Why was I being so rude to this guy?! He basically had the same reaction I did when I found out I was roomed with a guy.
"No, it's fine. It was just a shock." He says with a smile. I couldn't help but star at his naked body. Skinny, scrawny kid, messy brown hair, but that was probably just from the shower. "Please stop looking at me.." He says awkwardly.
