How Could You?

Chapter 2

The lift doors opened and I found myself in the hallway Petty said I would have to turn right. The hallway was decorated in the same style as in the 'lobby'. The carpet was pastel pink, and the walls were white. I looked up, on the ceiling hung a sign saying 'Rooms 200-250'. What was my room again? This is why I was never good at studying, and tests. I forget everything within a minute. Think Mandy, THINK. Oh yeah that's right, Petty handed me the key. It must say the number on it. Where did I put my key again? I feel in the pockets of my jeans. Thank God I didn't lose that either. The key had said 224. Got it.

221,222,223... There it was. A metal plate was attached to the wooden door, saying 224. I put down my suitcases and grabbed the key. Before I could even put my key in the keyhole, the door opened. A model was standing in front of me, she was that beautiful. Sily smooth, tinted skin, black long curls and green eyes. Rare. "Hey!" she spoke. God she also had that nice, girly voice. I'm the complete opposite of her. I'm as pale as snow, had ginger hair, and no visible eyelashes or eyebrows. I do have green eyes too, but they aren't pretty on me. Fuck I'm ugly.

"Hey!" I answered. She spread her arms wide and leaned in for a hug. I hugged back. She had that Victoria Secret parfume too, sweet but nice. "My name's Chloe, I'm gonna be your roommate!" She smiled. I laughed, "My name's Mandy, pleased to meet you!" "I can already tell we're going to be great friends, welcome!" she said with sparkling eyes. I smiled, I hope so too.

"So this is our room, it's not very big but it'll do. It's really quite boring at the moment, but I thought we could maybe decorate it together, to make it feel more like a home!" The room was indeed boring, it was just like a hotelroom, but then a primitive version. It just had two simple beds, that were seperated by a night table. The walls were a faded colour of green and the floor was covered with a grey carpet. The bathroom was just enough for two persons, that was decent. At last the room had two closets, for every person one. "Yeah let's do that! Are you allowed to do paint the walls and closets?" Chloe chuckled, "Yeah you are! What colour would you like to paint the walls?" I thought about it. "Well, we could make it a very tumblr room, with lots of white and some brownish tones? But of course if you don't want to or think that's ugly then that's fine too of course!" I said quickly. I didn't want to push her into it, or offend her. Chloe's eyes widened. Oh no, I probably sounded very stupid. "THAT'S SUCH A GOOD IDEA, I LOVE TUMBLR STYLE BUT I THOUGHT YOU WOULDN'T LIKE IT WOAH!", Chloe screamed. "I THOUGHT YOU WOULDN'T LIKE IT EITHER!"

We were so happy we jumped and hugged each other. We fell on one of the beds and couldn't stop laughing. "I know you for like five minutes and I'm having a laughter attack already, I like you", Chloe said whilst laughing. "I like you too!" I said, laughing too. "So when are we going to IKEA?" Chloe asked. I looked at the clock, it was seven o'clock on a saturday evening, we still had plenty of time to go. "Now?"
