*knock knock*
"Mom five more mins.." I spoke in a sleepy voice.
*knock knock*
*knock knock*

The knocking kept getting louder, and it was continuing to pound constantly. I rubbed my eyes and yawned. I slowly got up and off the bed. I look at the time. "Holy shit it's 1pm! I slept that long?!" I walked out of my room to where I heard the pounding coming from. "Coming! Just quit with the fucking pound-" I rubbed my eye and opened the door while saying that. I got cut off seeing a guy standing in front of me. "-ing." I just was just dead silent. No words came out of my mouth for some reason. I looked at this guy in front of me. He had a milk chocolate tan skin tone. He was way taller than me by like 5 more inches atleast since I was 5'3''. His hair was a kinda long curly hightop fade. His features were really handsome. He even had like a 5 o'clock shadow. He was wearing jeans with a plain black shirt. Then black Jordan's look like space jams. Then I seen a gold chain cross necklace, added a nice touch to the outfit. Then, I look into his eyes; his eyes were not completely dark brown, but they were a light hazel. His eyes seemed to show a softness and concern by looking at me. But his face expression was completely a straight face looking at me in the eyes. "Uhm I forgot to get my key to get in the house at the office. So I just figured my roommate was here already since I saw this Jeep in the driveway. So that's why I was knocking a lot. Is he inside?" I thought to myself, 'this guy is my roommate.' I am roomed with a guy? How did this happen? Like my name sounds like a girl, not a guy's name. I was still dumbfounded by what was going on. "Do you not speak English or something? ¿hablas español? (Do you speak Spanish?)" He spoke. "I heard the first time. But well you are looking at your roommate." I said pointing at myself. "Ha funny mija(darling). ¿Crees que soy estúpido? (You think I am stupid?)." He smirked at me. "No seriously I am your roommate and that is my car actually. Something probably got messed up with our placement." He smirked at me again. "Yeah something got messed up I guess. Including that your eye got messed up pretty badly too. What did you do get in a cat fight before school started?" I held my left eye when he said that. "Shit." I whispered. He gave me a look of concern after I spoke like he was gonna say something else. He didn't say nothing. "Just come in I guess." He relaxed and walked in the house. He didn't speak at all when he walked in the house.
He could have atleast said 'thank you' since I opened the door for him. I rolled my eyes and sighed, then I closed the door behind me.

I tried to show him around the house but he looked around the place by himself. I let him do it since he has just been rude since he came in the house. After awhile, he went back and forth out the front door carrying stuff. Putting all the stuff into his room. When he was done he closed the front door and walked into the kitchen asking, "Are you sure your my roommate? Like this is odd?" I was getting a drink from the fridge when he spoke at the time. "Positive. The lady at the office didn't tell me I had a roommate though." I nodded looking at him. "So I suggest you are a junior too then?" I asked him. "Yeah I am." I gave him a confused look. "But still I wonder how did we even get roomed together?" He shrugged at me after I said that. But he kept a straight face the entire time talking to me. "Oh by the way my name is Hailey. People call me Hails." I said walking towards my room. "Diego." He spoke in his spanish accent.

It was atleast like 8 or 9 PM, I was hungry so I walked out of my room for a snack. I wanted a treat to eat or some snack. As I was walking to the kitchen I hear some voices coming from the living room. I had to pass the living room to get to the kitchen anyway. I grab my rice crispy treat until I hear. "Mija!(Darling)" I rolled my eyes and walk towards the living room. "What's up?" In the living room there was Diego and two other guys. One looked buff almost like a football player and his skin tone was way darker than Diego's. His hair was a buzzed cut. He was wearing a black shirt with jeans and black Jordans. While the other guy, his skin tone was like a caramel color like me. But I was way tanner than him since I have naturally tan skin. His black hair was in two short braids. Also, wearing a red short shelve hoodie with rips in it, black pants, and red Jordan's. He seemed familiar though like I knew him somehow but couldn't put my finger on it. They all kinda seemed like color coordinating on. "Is this your new girl?" The buff guy said. "No guys, she is actually my roomie." I just stare at them confused, because I am thinking why am I in this room right now with these three guys. "Damn, you got roomed with a girl? Lucky." The other guy said next to Diego. "My name is Hailey and you know I am right here." I finally spoke to them. The buff guy spoke, "Jaylin and the other guy is Carlos" "Hola mami." Carlos said and waved. "Nice to meet you guys." I smiled at them. I didn't even smile at Diego when I first met him. I walked back towards my room. But Jaylin spoke, "Hey wait Hailey!" I heard a deep voice speak from the room. "Yeah." "There is a party this weekend at the TKE Frat house if you want to come? It's to start off the school year, happens every year." Jaylin said looking at me. Then I see both Diego and Carlos look at him like what the fuck? "Yeahhhh sure, maybe. I will think about it." I smiled and walked away from them into my room. "Ight." He said.

After Hailey walked back to her room. "You trying to get with my roomie?" Jaylin looked at me and raised his eyebrows up and down. "Come on, what do you think?" Jaylin and I dapped each other up laughing. "Bro you better make sure she goes to that Frat party." I shrugged after Jaylin spoke to me. "I will try but no promises señor(sir)." "Word." Jaylin said. "Yo can we hit this blunt already." Carlos spoke. "Yeah sure."

After a little bit of tossing the blunt around. Carlos spoke, "I'm surprised Hailey didn't recognize me." Diego spoke after him, "Why is that? You know her?" Carlos said, "Yeah I was her boyfriend's best friend awhile back in high school. We haven't seen each other since then.  So that's probably why she doesn't remember me. You guys will like her though she isn't like most girls, she ight." Jaylin then spoke, "So you saying it won't be easy to get her to ride on the Jay Train." Carlos laughed, "No my friend." Jaylin made a sad face.

(Hailey's P.O.V)
I was chilling in my room watching movies cause well I have no homework yet since classes don't start till like 2 weeks since it's the end of August. But then I smell like a strong scent. "Wait I know that scent." I spoke to myself. I walk back out to the living room seeing the three guys smoking a blunt. "You guys are really smoking a blunt right now in the house?" Diego looked at me when he was done his puff from the blunt. "Yeah why not? Why you don't like smoking in the house? It's not bad for you, it's weed." He spoke calmly looking at me. "Well I don't mind cause my friends and I at the time used to smoke together almost all the time. But I haven't in awhile though. I just don't want the house smelling like weed." After I spoke, Jaylin said, "Oh so this sexy ass girl is a stoner too, impressive. Here then take a big hit." I thought after what I been threw the past days. Why not, I know it's not going to bother me. I smoked weed before cause it helped my anxiety. It calms my nerves too really well. I took a big hit and didn't cough at all unlike some people mostly do cause I have gotten used to smoking weed. Diego spoke, "Nice." He nodded in approval. I then gave the blunt to Carlos. He honestly looked like he was gonna pass out truthfully. But he grabbed the blunt and took a hit. After he took a hit, he just kinda looked at me in the eyes and then looked at the ceiling. He gave me a vibe something was weird about him. He did look familiar to me honestly. Like I just can't remember. I normally have trouble remembering sometimes.

We just chilled and smoked weed for the rest of the night. I started to get the munchies, I ate some chocolate cookies and dipped them into peanut butter. I don't know why, but I just craved it. I sat on the floor in the middle of the living room. Jaylin said, "Why are you eating cookies and peanut butter?" I laughed. "I just have the munchies dude leave me alone." He put his hands in the air in defense. I was just sitting casually on the floor eating cookies with peanut butter smoking a blunt. I watched Carlos pass the blunt to Diego. Carlos looked at me and said, "Yo could I get some cookies?" I said, "Sure." I handed him the bag of cookies.

I think we smoked like 3 blunts maybe. Jaylin and Carlos were passed out for awhile. Carlos passed out on the couch and Jaylin passed out on the recliner. Diego and I were still awake. We were just quite and stared into space. We were both sitting on the floor a little bit away from each other leaning on the couch. "Hey roomie." He spoke. "Yeah." I quietly said. "How did you even get that black eye if you don't mind me asking?" I had it covered up with makeup by now since he saw my black eye earlier accidentally since I rubbed my eye opening the front door. I thought about my answer hard. I don't wanna tell him that it was my father that punched the shit out of me the day before I left for school. Because he was getting mad of the conversation we were having. "I just got into a fight that's all no biggie." He looked at me confused. Cause he noticed it took me awhile to answer. All he then said was, "Sorry for asking, I shouldn't of brought it up. But whoever did that to you deserves what is coming for them truthfully cause karma is a bitch." I thought he would of pushed me more maybe I don't know. He was mainly high right now so he just wanted to chill and be quite. After awhile I drifted off into sleep cause my eyes felt so heavy at this moment.
