Ballerina Boy

"It's your first day of college. You should be more nervous!" my mom yelled at me through the phone.

"Mom, I've had all summer to be nervous. I think I'm finally relaxed, which is a good thing."

"I guess you're right. But just know, if you get anxious, I'm always a phone call away."

"You got it ma. Love you."

"Love you too and be safe. Make sure to find the right dorm."

"You got it." I nodded and then she hung up on me.

I then unlocked the dorm room that I got assigned earlier that day and walked into a room with two beds.

Guess I'll be sharing this room then.

I pulled all of my stuff into the room and started to unpack.

That's when my roommate... a girl... walked in.

What?

"Um hello?" I asked. "Do you have the right room?" I asked her.

"Yeah." she nodded with a deeper voice then what a girl would have. "This is room 2525 right?"

"Yeah." I nodded.

"Cool." she nodded. "Then this is it. I'm your new roommate James Dickinson." she said holding out her hand.

"Louis Tomlinson." I said shaking it with a puzzled look on my face.

"Oh? Do you recognize me or something?"

"Should I?"

"I'm the new cover boy for CoverGirl."

"You are not?" I asked realizing who it was.

It was James Charles... a guy who wears makeup... like me now.

"Yeah." he said smiling the widest and most white smile I've ever seen. "I'm your new roommate."

"Well it's nice to meet you James." I smiled. "So you are here for makeup?" I asked closing our door.

"Oh, I'm actually here for filming and acting. I want to better my YouTube channel and it would be cool to star in some movies."

"Oh that's nice." I nodded.

"What are you here for?"

"Ballet."

"Oh that's great."

I then started to unpack more, same as him.

"So are you excited to start college?" I asked James.

"Oh, I'm not a freshman."

"You aren't?" I asked surprised.

"Yeah." He nodded. "Because of CoverGirl, I had to graduate early. So I've already got one year of college down."

"Would you mind showing me around then?"

"Oh, I wouldn't mind. You seem like a cool dude. I'll even introduce you to my friends."

"Alright." I smiled.

"Here, follow me. They are probably in the food court for their mid morning snack."

I nodded and then followed James to the food court.

He then sat down at a table with six other guys... so I sat down too.

"James?" a long haired blonde guy asked. "Who's he?"

"Everyone, this is Louis Tomlinson... my new roommate."
