My Roommate is as Crazy as Me

4. Forgetfulness can bring awkwardness

        As I gazed at myself in the large mirror I sighed my hair was messy and my makeup was already smudged. As I started removing my makeup I tried to lift my spirits. I stopped and stared at myself in the mirror surprised at how different I looked after removing my makeup. I heard the door open and shut and I felt my shoulders relax when I didn't even know they were tensed. I sighed "Don't worry it'll all be, ok just relax college can be fun right?" I thought to myself. I walked out of the bathroom and I felt the cold air conditioning hit my wet damp face.

         I decided I should go for a walk around campus for a little bit while the sun was still out to get to know the campus. I headed to the closet that was already half occupied by Luke's polos and shirts that I didn't bother paying too much attention to. I grabbed some ripped jeans and put on a white cropped top and I grabbed my red high top  converse and put them on quickly. As I walked out I grabbed my phone and my key and stuffed them in my pocket after closing the door. As I was walking I saw someone walking beside me with my peripheral vision. Instinctively I slowly took out my key, just in case, just like I did when I felt followed or just threatened in any type of way.

          But as I turned my head to scan the person who was walking beside me I saw their hair seemed oddly familiar and it took me a second to recognize who it was. I quickly recognized her as Mel the girl I had met earlier. She gulped when she saw the manner I held the key in my hand
      "Oh sorry didn't know that was you."
      "What would have happened if it wasn't me though..?" I rolled my eyes
        "Total annihilation, duh" We both laughed at that and continued walking. I suddenly widened my eyes in realization
        "Shit" I said under my breath thinking she wouldn't hear. She pointed a finger accusingly at me and said
      "Language"
      "Slow down Cap." She rolled her eyes and asked me what was wrong.
       "I forgot to call my baby bro when I got here he must be worried sick."
       "Just call him now." I grabbed my phone from my pocket and excused myself while she said she'd wait at the Starbucks we were in front of. I walked down the hall a little more and went through my contacts and clicked the one that said Inferior One (aka Dylan my lil bro) I laugh at the contact name still there since the beginning of high school. I hit call and wait, after he picked up on the second ring we initiated a conversation.
         "How's mom is she still doing alright after 'her little bird left the nest'?" Our mom had always called us her 'little birds' since we were little.
         "She's very clingy to me now though which is great." He said trailing off at the t. After about 20 minutes of talking we were both caught up. We said our goodbyes and hung up. I started walking back to the Starbucks when I noticed Mel outside of the Starbucks having a very heated discussion with a guy in front of her. As I stepped closer I could feel the tension growing between them so I decided to just let them have a discussion and I detoured towards the Starbucks.
        "Pepper! Wait!" I turned at the calling of my name and I saw Mel jogging up to me waving her hand. I arched my brow and looked back searching for the man she was talking with yet he seemed to have had disappeared.
       "Don't you want to catch some dinner at the cafeteria?" I was stunned at the word dinner yet it looked just like two-o-clock I took my phone out of my pocket and checked the time which surprised me the most.
6:47 it read I looked to her in disbelief and she just nodded and grabbed my arm dragging me all the way to the dining hall.
