Is There Somewhere?

Chapter 2

Grey's POV

The world is an ugly place. I've come to that conclusion after my 18 years of living. I'd always thought the world would get prettier but it never did. Even as I was beat by my father and my mother left us when I was just 12, I'd always saw thing on the brighter side. It wasn't until I was fifteen had I learned that nothing was going to get better. It wasn't til 15 had I learned to shut everyone out. I lost all my friends, I lost connection with the world, all I had been focused on for the next 3 years was finally getting out of this place. I payed attention in school and kept my grades up because all I wanted was to go to the college of my dreams and study journalism. I got an email from Columbia University about a scholarship, and now here I am. Standing in the one and only New York city with my bags and heading into the college. If I had known any better, I would have thought this was a dream. But I'm so glad its not.

I walk up to the lobby and a staff smiled at me. "Name?"

"Grey Youngblood." I reply with a smile. I haven't done that in a while.

"Oh! We have been expecting you! Here is your dorm number, and your room mate Alex will be there.

Hmm, Alex. I wonder if that's short for Alexandra. Or Alexandria. Maybe her parents were Hardcore Asking Alexandria fans.

I ask myself more questions until I reach my dorm.

Getting my key out, I unlock the door. But standing across the room at a bed was not an Alexandra or Alexandria, it was just an Alex. Or Alexander. I'm still not sure.

All I know is that I'm sharing a room with the opposite sex. And I'm not sure how I feel about this. I haven't talked to a guy in over 3 years - being isolated and all - so this is almost new to me.

"Um, hi, I'm Grey. Your room mate. " My voice shook a little.

The boy turns around and has a surprised look on his face, which then turns into annoyance. "I'm starting off the year sharing a room with a girl?"

Suddenly, my nervousness was replaced with annoyance and a bit of attitude, I was not going to be treated like this for the next 4 years.

"As if I wanted to share a room with some guy I don't even know, but I can already tell that you and I are gonna be great friends." I spat that last part in the most sarcastic tone I could use.

He didn't look phased at all with my sass, "Oh great, I get to share a room with not just a girl, but a sassy one as well. Joy." He said, his words dripping with the same sarcasm as mine.

"Whatever, I'm just gonna start unpacking and hanging things up. Feel free to do whatever." I reply in a monotone.

"Thanks for the permission."

This is gonna be a terrific year.
