Someone new moved in next door today. I know, because they were banging furniture all fucking morning.
I reach into my bag and pull out my car keys. My mind floats around the Matt subject, we have two classes together at uni, and I'm not ready to face him. The up side, is that I live off campus, and he doesn't; So that should help me avoid any face to face confrontations with him.
I unlock my front door and I'm immediately hit in the face with a gust of the cold November air. "Fuck it's cold." I curse to myself.
"Shoulda worn a jacket!" An unfamiliar laugh comes from behind me.
I turn to see a boy with brown hair, who I assume is my new neighbor.
"I would, but it'll be 75 degrees in a couple hours. The weather here is fucked up."
He laughs. "Well I wouldn't know, just moved from Nevada."
"Texas is a lot different, trust me."
"I like it already, the people are surely interesting."
I laugh, "You must be talking about Marcy in the main office?" That woman is such a bitch to everyone.
"Sure am!" His smile is adorable, and his teeth are perfectly whitened.
"Yea, she doesn't exactly like me. I've gotten into arguments with her a few times."
"You seem like a likable person, she must be blind." He puts down the box he's holding. "What's your name?"
"I'm Samantha." I look down at my phone. It's 8:32. "Oh shit, and I'm also late for class, I'll see you around?"
"Yea, see ya." He leans over to pick up the box.
I start to walk to my car but stop and turn back. "Wait, what's your name?"
His back is to me but he yells over his shoulder. "I'm Calum!"
I smile to myself and continue rushing to my car. His voice keeps playing over and over in my head, but I soon have to slap myself out of it once I remember what I told myself last night.
No. More. Boys.
